Is it even possible to truly live life with no regrets?

[Anonymous]

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.

Yup, life with no regrets! That is me!

Of course I have at least one regret in life.

Regret is the desire to go back and change an event, ie you get into a car accident because you weren’t paying attention, this is a feeling of regret. You can also rectify it, mistakes happen and there’s no issues in correcting and rectifying your mistakes, leading to a significant lack of regrets. You assume regrets are all mistakes, poor actions that were poorly timed. Regrets are often actions we choose not to take in the moment, hence the encouragement to try to live without them. Rectify your mistakes and don’t leave things to chance, etc. don’t go shitting on people just because they’re happy with their choices to live without regrets.

Am I just asking if you have any regrets in life. Do you?

Not really, no.

I think God used both my good and bad choices to protect me because God is a I intelligent he can take even your bad qualities and use it as a stepping stone to your happiness. An example is that if I had managed my appearance better in my younger years I would have married an abusive guy cause I did not have a sophisticated social filtering and invitation rejection system when I was young. One guy I was friends with 15 years ago has been trying for 2 years to figure out where I live, I believe he wants to murder me because I said I thought he was unattractive after he told me he cheated on his fiancé with 20 women. I almost dated him 20 years ago but I became fat so he began chasing other girls. My fat body protected me from dating this mentally deranged psychopath.

I more regret things I HAVE done more than things I haven’t done.
