I would honestly say yes. Many times. But for me mistakes makes a person more stronger. and taking risk and challenges makes a person alive. As they say, Life is too short to regret and live life to the fullest.
But the really is, sometimes people do regret and hope that those coud'nt be the same as it was. Decission, acts & lots more that we hope that never did happen. The thoughts hunt us for a while. keeping us think, what if... or If i did this/that. But done is done and all we can do is to move forward. And hope time change as it is.

Hello jaz.
Sometimes i have as well, but if we hadn't done some things, how could we have learned from them, from mistakes i mean ?
The human being is prone to making errors and learning from them - missing the teaching from a situation that has gone bad is worse then being in the bad situation to begin with as it may lead you to a similar bad one.

Plenty of times, but like you said mistakes make a person stronger!

True. No use crying over split milk. Last time, I also used to regret a lot over my bad school results in high school. I always made false promises and the result was always the same. Finally, one day I decided to stop regretting and to start repenting, which was much better. Regretting will not change the fact and it's only through repenting, that I'll be able to realize that mistake. Last year, I wrote a repentance letter to myself, for all the bad habits that I've made and all the definite promises that I want to fulfil, I wrote them all down. From then on, life was much smoother for me. I don't have to regret and so, I get to move on.

hello jazz,
I guess all people think of it.
It's an instinct that we feel sorry for things done and regretted why we did it,or why we did not do it.
Mistakes are not always things done,but also with things undone.
We always feels sorry after...but like you wrote,we can never turn back the hand of time to correct everything.
But,we learn from it and learning is the best teacher ever.
So,the best thing to do is,always try to remember the things where we did wrong and try not to commit the same mistake again.
Yes,life is too short to be wasted with regrets..but move on and make the best for the rest of your life.

I can look back at many times in my life here I question something i did or the way i did it. Most of these circumstances come from childhood. i feel i didn't always make the best choices. There are also times as an adult i have felt this way too. When i do something I wished that i hadn't, I ask myself why but i am usually not satisfied with the answers I get.
