Search Results: asking some one out

Some people say they live life with no regrets, but is that even possible? You never regret anything you have ever said to someone? Maybe regret not asking someone out? Or actually asking them out? Maybe wishing you would have studied harder for a test? Done more (or less) drugs and alcohol on a specific day? Wishing you had (or had not) had sex with someone? Eating something? The way you drove one time? The list is really endless.

I think "regret" is kind of a negative word, so people are reluctant to apply it to themselves. Instead, they will come up with some weird rational so they can escape applying the term to themselves. But in truth, we all regret something.
