I think it deals with love. The one that got away or the one that you were too scared to tell that you loved. Lost love is tough, but it happens to everyone. Or maybe quitting something you wish you hadn't quit. What is the most common thing that most people regret in their lives? ?

I actually have regret of not confessing my love. It was years ago and I seemed to have forgotten everything but recently the feelings have come back and it's eating me up I am sure I will not confess even now though coz even if we had a chance, we wouldn't be able to make it. We live in two different countries now and long distance relationship is not something I am keen of. I have no idea what I am to do

hi:) yes I agree with you, some of the common mistakes were because of love,me myself regret when I stopped having a good communication with my first boyfriend when he migrated to Canada, that is because I don't believe that long distance relationship would work for us, and also because were still young, so in my thinking he will surely find another there so I stopped answering his texts and calls:( but I do regret it now, and I don't have the guts to tell him that I am regretting that :(*sigh*

I try to live without regret! However, I find myself regretting the way I sometimes spend my money. Perhaps some myLotters can relate. I will go out with my girlfriend or other friends, either for dinner, drinks, or some other form of entertainment. I always regret how I spent my money. When I am out an having a good time I always seem to splurge. In all reality I could still attend each of these events and spend half the money if I would just think about it.

I too think that it most likely has to do with Love. Love can give the most pleasure and most pain. I think fear has a great deal to do with many regrets.

Usually, people will regret after realising they have made wrong decisions in life that will have a great impact on them. For me, besides love there also other things that will make me regret in life. Just to list afew would be not appreciating someone when they are alive, not giving out more love than I should, making wrong decision in buying expensive items without doing proper research, etc.

Mine is loving the wrong person and being to dumb to get out of it. And I'm sure there's more I could add to the list of regrets, but that's my biggest one.

most common something to regret. might regret the mistakes that we could do so do not make these mistakes. sometimes aware of many things only when love is gone and your loved one only then understand that we properly appreciate things around us. nice day!
