In your life, do you find that you regret more the things you DIDN'T do or the things you did?

[TenderFantasy]

And why?

Things I didn't do

Things I did

It depends on what it is, if it resulted in something bad then we're more likely to regret it, vs if that something we did resulted in something good, regardless of the choice we made.

Other?

For me I think it would depend on what it is. I don't know if most people would feel the same way, but I feel that if I did something and it resulted in something TERRIBLE like someone dying or getting permanently injured or I had to have surgery because of it, I'd definitely INDEED regret it. However, if it was something minor or by accident, that choice resulted in something GOOD to happen to them and their lives, then okay. So I think it would truly depend (at least for me) on the result? But I also feel like nobody consciously PLANS to make bad choices that end up with them getting into a severe car accident or something (unless they were stupid or suicidal, etc.) , sometimes bad things just happen!.. But yeah, I think it would depend for me, but I did pick number two as It's more of the things I DID do, the bad things that I did, that resulted in bad consequence, than I regret more the things I DIDN'T do (like go to college, not ask someone out on a date, etc.) because at the end of the day, maybe that thing could have killed me? ! I don't know. But I think yeah, it would definitely depend on what it is. I just wish life wasn't as complicated and competitive as it is though.

Thanks for the question! :-)

Oh wow this is a good one. Not sure but I do regret losing my virginity before marriage and I do regret not majoring in something i was more into. I also regret some people I dated. Iregret that I didn't have a child while in my early 20s but I can hopefully still have one in my 20s. I mean it was all a learning stone but i still regret more things that i did than didn't do.

I didn't really didn't do anything, but I did a lot. So. Prolly stuff I did. Not like tattoos or sex, that's cool whatever. But like being a dick, drinking, fighting. The dangerous shit with no good side. Caused a lot of damage and could have caused a lot more.

I regret some mistakes...

and sometimes they were something I've done, and other times, something I didn't do

[weysally]

I only have two regrets as far as I know, 1/ not having sex with my school boyfriend, but also glad I didn't, because, it gives me something to dream about, 2/ my second boyfriend, to me he was a waste of space in the sex world, a wham bam and bo thank you mam

I have many regrets in life, sometimes I wish I could turn back in time. But I mostly regret the things I didn't do and the words I've never said.

[SnowedIn]

I really try hard to not regret. But, when I do it's all the undone things or things I should have done.

[OfMiceandMen]

I regret the things I didn't do, but I still have time...

[LiamJHayden]

Probably didn't, as the only regret I can think of is my not trying to snag more rental properties sooner.

[TenderFantasy]

Wow are you all perfect? Lol. I am sure you would regret doing a DUI and hurting someone, that kind of thing. But maybe you ARE smart and very careful, I don't know, but like I just can't believe most people on here would say they wouldn't regret committing a bad crime or doing something incredibly stupid that resulted in serious consequences! Either for yourself or others!

I voted A. I missed out on several opportunities because i was timid.

Neither. I don't live with regret.
