I've learned from some of my mistakes because they really had an impact.
Others I keep making over and over again and I'll never learn. But mistakes can feel so right at the time of doing. |

I learn from most of my mistakes. But there’s two I keep going back too.
And I’m getting better at telling people why they’ve upset me. I wouldn’t say I’m argumentative or anything, but I’m pretty straight up now about how I feel about things. If you’ve bothered or upset me, chances are I’ll let you know. |

I do learn by my mistakes yes. Thats why we make them. Some have had an epic impact on my life but i learnt the hard way.
Ive always said to my son its not the mistakes you make its what you learn from them |

I generally learn from my mistakes so that the next time I do it again, I understand that I'm actually doing it deliberately. Hence it's no longer a mistake.. |

I like this way of thinking |

If you know they won't care do you still tell them? |

Yep. Maybe in the years to come they’ll reflect on it |

Once bitten, twice shy, is my motto, but I did fuck up on several occasions in ma early 20's. I suppose it depends on what sort of mistake is involved and whether you're prepared to take the gamble that history won't repeat itself. |

I'm pretty good at learning from my mistakes, especially in relationships. At least in the sense that I've made just about every relationship mistake a guy can make, but never the same one twice and ultimately i ran out of mistakes to make and found an awesome wife. |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
"Do you learn from your mistakes?
If someone has upset you, do you tell them or keep it to yourself?
What mistakes have you learned from?
"
1. Some. Others I tweak and make them again with a new twist.
2. Keep it to myself.
3. A recent one is to go against my natural behaviours with a particular person in order to effect a change.

I hope I learn from my mistakes, though there are some I repeat for sure. I am someone who needs to tell people if they upset me, but I try to do it in a thoughtful, calm manner and not with anger. I can be volatile if provoked though!  |

I actually like making mistakes. Means I am trying at least.
Some of my mistakes have involved men which I have learned from.
With dating at one point a few years back I tried to be someone I wasn't. It didn't work. So now I'm completely me. Don't hide anything. If I'm not for them then they can walk away and I won't chase.

1. I'm always finding new ways to make the same mistake again.  |

I really like that way of looking at it- your first paragraph.
