    Would you rather regret doing, or regret not doing? A simple question, really.

    Regret Doing. I regret many things because I'm not proactive enough which caused me to miss lots of things in life and I hate that feeling. At least compared to this even if I've done something embarrassing at least I tried right?

    If I do it I will regret and if I don’t I will regret either way. So I just regret it.

    I'd rather regret doing, instead of not doing.
    Since I already have so many regrets about not doing things, and things you have done and regret, usually you can learn from. Not saying you can't learn from not doing something, but sometimes I feel like it's less..hmm harsh? Or the thought 'at least I tried/took the chance' and it feels like it'd be easier to move on.
    Instead of NOT doing something and constantly thinking "If only I had".
    I believe it's my preference heavily though that 'if only I had' is worse than 'if only I did not', especially since there's so much I missed out on.

    edit: just reread this one second after posting and realized how confusing this can sound with all the 'regret doing regret not doing regret regret doing by not doing-'

    I regret looking outside my window and seeing the cute little boy that was always so polite and looked so cute and innocent picking his nose and eating them

    Regret not doing, because I would look back and feel I missed an experience. Regret doing, when it was something that was potentially harmful. Like, yelling at someone because of anger. So I would choose both. It really depends on the situation.




    And now I regret reading the entire thing.

    I'd rather regret doing something. I at least will know that I did what I thought was right~

    Instead of... Well, just regretting doing nothing when I could have done something.

    I prefer to try experiencing something and disliking it, over forever wondering what it would be like to experience said thing~

    Regret not doing. At least with stuff you’ve done, you can just gaslight yourself into pretending it never happened so you don’t have to live in constant dismay :notlikeblob:
