I had this going through my head and I wanted your opinion. Which is worst regretting something you did or regretting something you did not do? If you want say why. I chose regretting something that I didn't do is worst. And this is not pointless... :wth:
hmmmm....the pointless meter is slanting from side to side. i guess i'll leave this open unless another mod thinks it is pointless. If you don't do something, then you'll never know what would of happened. Take the risk and either suffer the consequences/reap the benefits. It'll be a learning experience either way. That's why I always push myself to see what would happen, and I just live with the results.
I think regretting something that you didn't do would be worse. For example, if I don't talk to the girl I like, I'll never get her... I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life, and I do not want that. I am going to talk to her.
Regretting something you didn't do in life is worse than regretting something you did do. If you didn't do it, let's say talking to a girl, you will never get her, and you will probably regret it a lot in the long run. But if you do talk to her and get turned down, at least you tried and showed yourself you have the guts to do something like that.
I regret not taking my SAT IIs because now I'm at a state college when my grades were capable of taking me to a University of California. Therefore, it's worse to regret something you never did.
Exactly. At least if you are regretting something you DID, then you have gained experience and have a better chance of doing it right again or not having the same bad experience again
Regretting something I did. Trust me on this one: there's TONS of things I regret doing, it would take about a year to list them all. EDIT: Getting a little off topic here, but does my sig fit the restrictions? I'm not too sure if it does or not.
That's exactly it... You'll never be able to know the emotions and/or feelings you could of got if you at least tried...weather those feelings be good or bad, at least you'll experience them...
definately regretting something you didn't do. why? because say you knew your "soulmate" in high school... you really liked her, but never got up the courage to ask her out... and it turned out she liked you a lot too... that would be worse than asking her out and having her rejecting you. at least, in my opinion. a 12 year old's opinion, so it doesnt really account for much.
argh, i hate it when i don't do something. i totally regret it afterwards. one is where i could have gone to the smart high school. but i never tried because of my fear of being rejected. but now i'll never know if i was good enough.
Of course regreting that you didn't do something is worse. And you keep on repeating in your head: "And the fault is my own; and the fault is my own"
You are very smart for a 12-year-old. The situation you just described... that's what's happening to me right now.

[/b][/quote] When I was in 8th grade, I liked a girl, she liked me too (even told me to my face), but I was too afraid to ask her out, and now in High School, she has someone else. And I still feel weird when I see her in the halls... :wth:
