do you regret what you are having right now?

These obviously cannot forget the past, that is still looking at the past, and having a difficulty of moving on. That is their decision Vi, we cannot tell how much they are going through. Maybe they are trying so hard to forget the past, but it seems they can't let go. There is always a right time for that. Even i am, I still feel regrets over the time that I consume, like it is five years that past and I am still an employee. I remember I answered a interview question before "how do you see yourself five years from now" and my answer was " I am seeing myself having my own business and my employee is satisfy of what I am paying for them, i give them the best training they could ever get, and I am the best boss they can ever had"......and what i am now....stil an employee. I feel regrets about that. However..... if we will just feel regrets and not do anything about it, we will feel sorry for ourselves forever. WE still need to move on and take action.... What is that you are saying... about the guy? He still long for you????

Hi annavi,, That guy you're talking about shouldn't regret about his past because he already has a present..and his upcoming future with his family..Though there are times that regret passes my thoughts..Those were times that I am down and having troubles with my marriage.. There was a time that I regretted marrying him..That I was thinking that if he wasn't the one, how would my life be,maybe I'd be happier.. But then it passed..It came to my mind because I wasn't happy..But as years went by,our marriage became stronger..And now I definitely have no regrets at all!! I LOVE MY FAMILY. THERE IS NOTHING FOR ME TO REGRET..

Things we regret, or even ple we regret not cherishing, are often the best moments we have with them.. haha =D It's not that their present spouse are not good or whatever, it's just that the feeling is different.. Though time can wash away all kind of feelings, but time can bring back all those memories too, especially when it's deep in our mind.. hehe Without regrets, we wont learn how to cherish and treasure, and be glad that we learned so ^_^

Ha annavi23, It is always nice to reunite with old friends after such a longtime. Your old boy friend is remembering his happy times with you. It is okay to regret the past if you really feel that way. Maybe he moved on because he had no other choice. Even though he is married, the thought of "what if" is in his brain. As humans we all have a little nostalgia when it come to our past lives. We miss the good old days and the people that were there to bring us joy. Sometimes remembering or longing for the past,some buried feelings will come to surface. Even though lives have changed for better or worse, those feels are real. The important thing here is to be responsible by keeping focused on what was an what is now. I am one who has some regrets from my past, but I don't think you will find anyone with no regrets. That is just a part of living and learning. I am still making mistakes and years from now, I will probably regret something else. However, I try to not act impulsively, which would probably lead to more regrets. Staying focused leads to making better decisions.

Because people dont get satisfied. People only think that they will be better with this and with that. Rather than cherishing what they have with them. The problem is, that people often seek for other acquaintances because they think that they will be better. . But the truth is, they just want to please themselves and then go back to what they really have.

No, I don't. If I have to re-live my life, I think I will do the same. It does not do to regret the past and what we did not do at the time. For me, it is better that I do not repeat the mistakes I did before, and try to live as what I believe to live well.

i try my best not to have regrets in my life because i think it is no use crying over spilled milk... what had already happened can't be undone but we can try to learn from it and make sure that we won't make the same mistake again in the future... that's what i'm always trying to do... take care and have a nice day...

Hi annavi, I think that we all have done things and made certain decisions in our lives that we regret. I know that I have definitely some regrets, but not when it comes to men, at least not really! I was engaged twice, but lived with both the men first and am thankful that I did because I would have been married and divorced twice! I just skipped the steps! The regrets I have are about other things that I did or didn't do in my life and that has to do with money management and career choices~

well. .. in simple terms .. iits human nature.. what we are dealing with . .rememebering and cryin over the past..had it been this .. things wqould have been lot better.. we are humans and bound to make mistakes one after the another.. well.. i do sometimes regret wat i did in the past. .but hey its life.. life sure sumtimes teaches u in cruel ways. so deal with it .. learn from the past.. and have fun :)

Sometimes I do; I regretted that I didn't finish my course. I could have gotten a good career and sometimes I feel tired of having a family to look after to. Sometimes I would think that being single is much better than being married. But this is the life that I have chosen so I have to shelved my regrets.

Sometimes, I also think of the past and regret some unpleasant things that happened in my life. But as time goes by, I realized that those things happened for a reason. Sometimes things are not really what they seem to be. We may perceive things as negative, but that happened because that is the best thing to happen. Regarding your guy friend, he probably said that because that was your first meeting again after many year probably. Also, he wasn't able to realize yet the purpose why it happened and wasn't able to truly appreciate what life he has right now. He'll get over it and realize its purpose sooner or later.

Regrets are there to remind us of our mistakes to later on do the right thing for the future. But if you keep on regretting things and not make those as a guiding inspiration for improvement therefore you as an individual can never grow and won't improved in life. Perhaps you have to move on and be positive so that when gatherings comes with friends, this time you can a different person, renewed by the lessons from the past.

Regrets!!! you cannot deny there are some things that had happen that you sure really regrets why these happen, and why these didn't happen. Of course you cannot force yourself not to regret even small things. It's just that, there are some problems that comes them especially to those who have relationships. There comes to the point that even a small problem, one wants them to separate already.

its in our nature i guess, we humans often regret things. thinking what iF's. if i haven't done this or if i do that. what is lacking in us is contentment and the ability to stand firm to our decisions. may it give us positive or negative outcome...

I loved your question. First let me congratulate you on the re-union of friends after a long gap of 7 years. Thats really an exciting thing to happen. Now for regretting the past - I believe that everything is destined. You have no control on that and there is no fun trying against destiny. Yes, in somewhere in the deep corner of my heart, I have a regret - I could ot do anything for my Grandpa who brought me up and helped me in shaping my life and becoming what I am today. I owe so much to him. But thats all that I regret about. I have a promise to myself - I will never regret anything that I have done in the past. Why? Coz when I did that I was confident that it was right. Now if a thing was right then, it cannot become wrong just because time passed. I dont want to die thinking or regretting over anything that I did in my life. This is why I am a slow person who thinks 4 times before doing anything. I hope that I am able to fulfill my wish.

so far i am contented with my life and no regression. i hope i won't have any by the time i build my own family.

well I guess it's human nature to still think or even want a part of the past...it's not because they are not happy with what they have in the present, but its more of wondering what might have been. That is why I think that if we come across in our lives something or someone we like, we should at least give it a try, so that when tomorrow comes, our life will not be full of " what ifs". I guess everyone of us has that regret, a chance they didn't take, an opportunity they let passed, it's a cowardice on those things that haunt us at one time even if we avoid it. but since those were all part of the past, we must learn to let it go, so we can appreciate more what is in there at present.

We don't know treasure things until it lost.I found that something lost,lost forever.So lots of people want to find lost things.
