Hey all,

What are regrets? What do they feel like?

I think regrets are to feel sorry, disappointed, distressed, or remorseful about things

Things like decisions I make or have made because I don’t want to do the wrong thing, feel stuck, uncomfortable, like thinking I am doing wrong, but there are so many different ways that you could suggest regret

welcome @Dreamer 95 , that's a really good contribution.  I definitely agree, they can definitely guide our behaviour

We should acknowledge regrets and learn from them.  I didn't really put that in my comment but yeah regrets can sometimes be a big learning curve and can teach us to improve on things like thinking before saying (just for an example).

They can be things you have done.

Hmmm I think we have regrets because of a few reasons, some that I can come up with are:

1) we're unaware of the consequences of a specific decision

2) Stress/pressure 

3) We do the best with the knowledge that we have at the time, and realise that decision wasn't the best after gaining more experience and knowledge

Definitely @tsnyder - I regret a LOT. But I also don't mind so much having regrets from things I have done, because it has always taught me something. Whereas regrets from not doing something mean that I don't know what I've missed out on learning

 For me, they feel like guilt.  They tell me how to behave

@tsnyder hopefully behaving in a more positive way!
