Would you rather regret things that you've done?, OR regret the things you haven't done?

I'd much rather regret what I've done than what I haven't done.  At least I can go through and rationalize my choices in the past and ease my conscience about things I've done.  I find myself realizing so many things that I would have liked to have done and didn't, and it becomes clear that I've recently changed my perspective to be more willing to take the chances and live life fully rather than sit on the sidelines regretting what I never did...

There are changes I would like to go back and make but I wouldn't want to start over.I love what my life has become so I wouldn't change anything now.  The thing I wish I could change the most is to have been kinder to some people who have passed away. It is too late to tell them I am sorry and that I love them.

"if you live with no regrets, you will not be guilty of what you have done."\n\ntotally false.  think about it.

"For of all sad words , of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, it MIGHT HAVE BEEN!" With that in mind, I'm with you. I would rather regret things I have done, than regret  I never did some things!

I would go back in time and change a mistake I made some years back so I might not be in the situation I am in today. Sorry, won't go into further information on that.

It would forever bother me not to try something new and even later on fail, which I could overcome and accept, than not to have tried at all.\n\nIt can be the greatest sin of all. The sin of regret.

given the chance to fix one thing in my life, it would be ALL the wrongdoings i have made. but then, if i have been perfect all my life, what's the use of living this life and learning from our own mistakes? those mistakes in the past contributed to the person that we are now. things happen for a reason regardless if it is intentional or not. the best thing to do is to learn from one's mistake and continue living for the better, not for the worst.

If you regret it, you want to change it and to change something would change who you are. I have no regrets in my past. Everything you go through in life makes you who you are. Makes you stronger, more understanding, tougher and less ignorant. There are things in everyone's past that has been rough for them, but the experience of it has made them walk away with something more. It's part of life. Everything in life has a purpose.

I've asked that question before and realized that if I answered it, I would have unresolved issues/events I need to deal with. What I am trying to get at is that for myself, if I want to attain contentment, happiness, peace, and free of regrets, then I must accept everything, every event, happening, etc. that has occurred in my life. Come to terms with everything, the past is the past, it is unchangeable, but I reflect upon it to change what I can today, make better for tommorrow, and learn from it. I was 'dealt a less than decent hand', far from normal, and many challenges. I have overcome many osbstacles, weathered many storms of life, and made many mistakes, but I have no regrets and I am at peace with my past. And that is where it stays, in the past, to reflect upon. \n\nSo my answer to your question honestly, is I wouldn't change a thing.

S'funny, I was just talking to my neighbour tonight saying I deeply regretted telling my best friend off a number of years ago. I wished I'd talked things through, and all these years I've missed her, I've never had the courage to phone her up and apologize. Wish I could get over whatever's stopping me now.

I think most would choose the past because everyone has done things that they regret.

I would pick something that you have done in your life mistake or not, that has some how changed you for the better. People relate well with situations they are familiar with. Try something along those lines

Well no, you should have not done that but do let her know what you have done.  She may be more willing to forgive you if she sees that your confessing your mistake...Good luck!

Well I can't really think of any "do-overs". I can, however think of a few "do agains". Not so I could do them differently, just so I could do them again.\n\n>;-)\n\nI don't think I'd go back and do anything in my life differently. Not anything significant anyway. I like who I am and I like where I am. Every thing I did and experienced has led me here. I am where I am meant to be and I'll go where I'm meant to go. It's an interesting trip.

I think the one thing I regret the most is making the decision to take my (fourth) son off of life support when he was five days old.  I was not willing to keep him alive with a possibility of brain damage; there was a high probability and I didn't want that kind of life for my son.\n\nThe thing I least regret is finally getting up the nerve to leave my ex even though it almost cost me custody of my three sons.\n\nWhat I wish I could do over again....I wish that I could have accepted my biological father as my father before he passed away.  I'd been told he was my "godfather" until at age 11, my sister told me he was my real father and showed me my birth certificate.  It was pretty devastating.  He was 50 when he met my mom (she was 20 and married to my stepfather but they'd separated).  It was difficult accepting that I was "different" from the rest of the family (especially since people used to joke and ask if I'd been adopted).
