Why do we often make the same mistake?

The saying is true, that we learn from our mistakes. You're right though. There are some things people end up doing time and time again before they "learn from their mistake." I guess it just happens that way. Luckily people USUALLY learn, eventually.

I also often make the same mistake. Each of my regret, to mistake I have done, I always promised not to repeat. But over time, I make the same mistake again. It is very difficult, to get rid of this bad habit.

I felt the same. I felt like I making the same mistake over and over time, and It was just the same pattern but with different forms or shape. I simply lost my mind, and I should stop on trust those people. Maybe I am too easily trust people, that is why I got scammed over and over time. May God or our nature punish them for what they had done to me; what comes around goes around.

negligence, fault, what did you do today,that make people annoyed at you or just make you disappointed with your attitude

Hello gengeni! :) I love your question. I've been thinking about this a lot and thank you so much for brining it up. :) I think it's because of our expectations. I don't know if this applies to everyone but it's just my little theory. Humans have this thing for expecting things to turn around if they do the same thing as they did before. Love is the best example for this one. When we get hurt in the first relationship, we stop loving for a while. When someone we think is better comes along, we fall in love again. It's technically the same mistake right? But why do we do it? It's because we expect something good to come out of the current relationship. We expect the current relationship to work only because it's not with the same person as before. And then the cycle goes on and on. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with making mistakes because we are actually programmed to make mistakes. I also don't mind making the same mistake like falling in love and whatnot as long as I learn from them. When I learn from my mistakes, I would know what to do when I decide to make the same mistake in the near future. Learning from your mistakes doesn't necessarily mean you won't do the same thing again. You'll just know how to get through the aftermath the next time.

maybe we don't learn at first time..

Some people did same mistakes before learning their lesson,maybe becoz they believed that the next time it won't fail. Believing it will be a success the next time around,like giving another try which is not bad at all depends on the situation of course. But doing the same thing again and again,without learning i think it's stupidity. In each mistakes we must learn to know what to do and what's to avoid. The greatest lesson in life is our very own experiences,we need to learn from each experiences and try to correct each mistake. Mistakes are to make our move perfect (or almost perfect) not to make us dumber. have a great day always

Oh, this is because we're only humans. We make mistakes and sometimes repeat it. We do things out of our control. We let this happen because we can't help it. But with strong will and determination, we can achieve this goal, beating the blunder in us! Hope we do it sincerely and decisively!

Humans by nature can not be dodged from mistakes. If you want to prevent us from repeating the same mistakes it's good we did not do anything that would cause us to do a similar mistake. Things that make and reminiscent of similar mistakes could be avoided if you can. But do not make it as a phobia or trauma. The point is, do not be afraid to make mistakes because humans are created in a state of innocence. It is likely also that the error be repeated two to more than three times without noticing.

I guess the reason why we continue making the same mistake is because we haven't learn from it. I can say we haven't learn from it if that same situation happened again and yet we still do not know what to do.
