Start enjoying life for one thing. You can't always do everything right, that is why it is called life and we are here to practice life each day. That is why we get another chance the next day.  So make your mistakes, that is the great thing about a mistake is not the regret, but that you learn from them.  If you never make a mistake you will become a very dull person.  Everyone thinks once in awhile, I could have probably done that differently. Then the next time it happens you have your chance to do it differently. So give life a chance and live it. Your mind is your worst enemy, let it go before it holds you back to much. It sounds like it already has. So the next time it happens, tell yourself, STOP!  And just do it.

Yes I did.... I was 19, he was 42. It lasted 11 years. He didn't work regularly, was abusive, unfaithful, and couldn't tell the truth about what he ate for lunch, let alone something important. BUT, he gave me a gorgeous, intelligent, sweet child. So, I have what I have and I am who I am, in part, because of that relationship,...so no, not one single regret.

Indirectly, I would have to say seeing and hearing both my father and step-father dieing in agony of cancer within one year. That was God awful to experience. I heard them both cry out in misery while suffering through the disease. I watched them both waste away to skin and bone from once being big strong healthy men. \n\nI've lost a lot of friends and family to that horrible disease.

Yes, I have some regrets in my life. If I could live it over, I would never marry a woman that didn't love me. I did, however, and am now 55 years old, and have never known the joy of being loved by  a woman. I loved her, and was in love with her, just never had that love reciprocated. What a shame, and a waste! That is my BIGGEST regret!

Hurting some of the best people I have ever met. Its not a regret as such because I have learnt from it, but its still not nice to know that some one else has been upset by you for doing no wrong.

It might not seem to be easy at the time, but the easiest way to deal with regret is to face up to what you've done or not done.\n\nOwn up to your mistake, make your apologies and perform a make-good.\n\nFor example, if you broke someone's window, return with a tape measure, apologize for your mistake, offer to replace the window and tell them you need to measure how large the pane of glass should be.  Then, go to the hardware store, buy the glass and whatever else you need to install it.  Return with the new pane, the putty or whatever, your tools, a broom, vacuum, dust pan and a bag in which to put the trash.  Install the window, clean up and as you exit, with the bag of trash, reitterate that you're sorry for the inconvenience you've caused.  If they don't want you to do the work, call a handyman and find out how much it would cost to repair the window (give a good guess as to the size).  Then return to the homeowner with the cash and insist on paying to have the window repaired.  If they won't take the cash, ask them for the name of their favorite charity.  Make a donation to that charity in the homeowner's name and give the homeowner the receipt.  If they won't give you a charity's name, make a donation, in the homeowner's name to your favorite charity and give them the receipt.\n\nThe same kind of thing applies to other situations.  You need to make things as right as you possibly can.\n\nAfter you've done your best to make things right, forgive yourself.  You did something you regret, but now it's time to learn from it, get over it and move along -- There's nothing more to see here.

You regret that you didn't have the experience to do it better the first time around.

I'd much rather regret what I've done than what I haven't done.  At least I can go through and rationalize my choices in the past and ease my conscience about things I've done.  I find myself realizing so many things that I would have liked to have done and didn't, and it becomes clear that I've recently changed my perspective to be more willing to take the chances and live life fully rather than sit on the sidelines regretting what I never did...

Get over it. You had the chance and blew it, lessons for life.

Regrets wouldn't do any good. What's done is done. The past is past. Get on and leave her behind.\n\nAttagirl!

I regret not being a virgin for my husband and I regret the first person.

I think the one thing I regret the most is making the decision to take my (fourth) son off of life support when he was five days old.  I was not willing to keep him alive with a possibility of brain damage; there was a high probability and I didn't want that kind of life for my son.\n\nThe thing I least regret is finally getting up the nerve to leave my ex even though it almost cost me custody of my three sons.\n\nWhat I wish I could do over again....I wish that I could have accepted my biological father as my father before he passed away.  I'd been told he was my "godfather" until at age 11, my sister told me he was my real father and showed me my birth certificate.  It was pretty devastating.  He was 50 when he met my mom (she was 20 and married to my stepfather but they'd separated).  It was difficult accepting that I was "different" from the rest of the family (especially since people used to joke and ask if I'd been adopted).

You must have made a big mistake
