Do you have any regrets from any point in your life whether its something you have said or done? I remember being 14 and hanging around with my friends and there was this lady who would always phone the police on us for no reason other than being a bit noisy. This went on for months one day we found her cat dead in the road it must of been hit by a car so we picked it up and put its front paws through her letterbox and knocked the door and ran off. I can still hear her scream today. It was a horrible thing to do to someone and I have regretted it for years its part of the reason I now work for the NHS I help people on a daily basis and it helps to alleviate some of the guilt I had growing up. |

"Yeah I regret stuff, but I tend not to dwell on it. "
I don't dwell on it now I was a complete arsehole as a kid and that one incident changed me. I just passed a dead cat and that memory hit me.

That's really awful. She wouldn't have known about it being found in the road so probably thought you killed it and 'sent' her it. Whatever she did she didn't deserve that  |

I've regretted a few things in my life but they tend to be decisions that have altered me personally.ive always been a nice guy so to speak,even when I was younger I was taught that if you wouldn't like it don't do it to others. |

my dad was killed by a sniper in northern Ireland when I was 18 months old so I never knew my dad. My mom did a brilliant job bringing me up and then when I went to senior school I fell in with the wrong crowd that's when I became a complete arse

I don't believe in regrets, things that don't go so well are life lessons. However, you have made me rethink this notion OP because I have never been intentionally vindictive.
I guess at least you now see how that wasn't the smartest move. |

4 significant regrets in my life.
Not completing a professional training course I started when I was 18. Would have broadened my horizons...
Getting married young. Still married, but spend too much time wishing I wasn't.
Not listening to my instincts, when they told me, on two occasions, to stop and give my parents hugs. They both died the following day (13yrs appart).
That's me  |

Oh, yes. I sometimes regret meeting my ex, but if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have 2 most excellent children to light up my "single dad" life.
Other times I regret that I wasn't enough for her, and she felt the need to.. Er.. Branch out, as it were. But, I did what I could.
Apart from those, I try to not hold regrets these days. Take each day as it comes, do the best I can, and enjoy living life as it is now, because it's only short.  |

I really wished I didn't have that take away and I paid that bill instead, I really wished when I got married I was more responsible with money and learned to go with my gut, instead I would just spend on take aways and all the other crap, I have nothing to show for it and now I'm paying the price, big time!
Their are loads of things I regret but I think it's made me think and learn so I take the rough with the smooth and move forward.

We usually learn really well from mistakes, so I'd not regret something but learn and make amends, if possible.
I used to be too ambitious for some reason - now I've found my own pace in life. No insecurities about not achieving enough, though I missed out on some things a bit, whilst I had an imbalance towards career. The past has gone and it's just helpful to guide us now - rights and wrongs. |

Don't have any regrets as really can't change anything and I feel personally it's not good to rake over the past. I do believe that all these things have shaped me into the person I've become today though

My main regrets are when I have allowed myself to be pushed into situations that made me unhappy by other people.
On the flip side I now have the cognisance to identify and avoid that now. And I am a better person for it

I know this is going to sound conceited but I don't regret a single thing I've ever done .
All my mistakes I'm still paying for and every mistake I learn a lesson from .
So how can i regret choices when every choice lead to me learning something new about my self and then growing from that learning process .
No regrets just a acceptance of past mistakes and lessons learned for me . |

Because it's a really shitty thing to do. If that happened to me it would probably break a little bit of my mind. Who knows if that wasn't the case for her.
Damn right he should feel bad for it! |
