I believe in reflecting on things we do, understanding the reasons we did them and move on by learning better ways for the future.
I absolutely refuse to live in regret or shame. That’s a victim mentality and sure way to slip into self pity and depression.
Everyone has things in life that they should have done differently but since nothing could be done but learn lessons, just live in the present and future. Maybe it’s just me. I won’t waste 5 minutes regretting anything. What for? Nothing could be done about it anyways

Thanks, although I cannot help how I feel. I have more self respect than that. I tend to beat myself up for my mistakes because I am very perfectionistic.
