Regardless of what happens you should move on immediately.
There's no point in ever regretting anything
How would you ever learn from mistakes then?
As you normally would, just don't wallow in them.
>"just move on bro, it's easy"
doesn't work like that. nobody sits there and feels sad on purpose you absolute mong.
not him, btw. you're just autistic.
One day when you're older you're going to look back on this and regret having such a shitty attitude.
I didn't say it's easy, but it is what you should be doing.
>nobody sits there and feels sad on purpose you absolute mong
Exactly. They do it for no good purpose at all.
It's the greatest attitude ever.
Should puts the blame on the listener as if he were at fault with an obligation, could more likely leads to action and lifts off a burden.
You guys could all move on, and of course it's not easy, but is it fair to you to wallow in the thought? You could also be grateful for committing the mistake because now you learned from it.
>do nothing so regret nothing
this is probably what you do if this is where you post, but hopefully not
otherwise, sound advice, but not practical or realistic for some
I keep trying but whenever I have time to sit down and think I just can't help but cringe and regret some of the stupid shit I've done.
>Exactly. They do it for no good purpose at all.
unless you have a better idea than "dude just move on" you should probably refrain from pointing out how useless being regretful is.. there is literally nothing constructive about making such a big deal out of how regret is such a bad thing, but offering no solutions, support, or guidance.
This and did something, regret and wallow in it all the time.
Sure, you could put it that way. How about you must move on?
Unfortunately it's natural for your brain to do that. You must build the will to ignore it.
Here's my support and guidance: it is only given that in life you will be making mistakes constantly. That is how you develop, after all. Now imagine if you could magically know all the mistakes you're going to make in the future. You're only allowed to know them, not change them. What would you do then? The most logical plan would be to just get it over with. Make the mistake, learn from it and move on as fast as possible.
Neurotypicals cannot understand these thoughts, just look at this thread.
I unironically believe that wallowing in their regrets provides them with some sort of twisted sense of comfort.
>You must build the will to ignore it.
Been working on it for a few years now. I've come to the realization that most of the stupid shit you do will be immediately forgotten by everyone else within a week. Really not worth losing sleep over, but there always comes those immense, titanic, catastrophic fuck-ups that make you want to end it all no matter how old you get.
Chances are, even the biggest fuck-ups are forgotten. Not just because people are very forgiving, but mostly because of how limited their attention span is. Even if they were to genuinely hate you, they won't spend much energy to express it. And I doubt you fucked up to that major level anyways. It's super rare.
>Sure, you could put it that way. How about you must move on?
Well, I guess some people feel more energized or motivated by aggressive approaches, but I believe robots have been hurt to the point where bossing them around gets you the opposite effect. I also believe convincing is more effective than forcing someone to do something.
I suppose you're right. I'll try being more considerate in my approach next time.
Don't bother trying to help people, OP. While I agree with you I think very few and select people are capable of learning from others experience. I share the same mindset and believe me I have a long long list of fuckups in my life and moved on (mostly), how did I come to this mindset? it happened when the fuckups kept piling in day after day to the point my mind became overloaded, I simply could not afford to keep wasting any more time and mental energy. This was an experience that I learned from, but without that long list and countless hours of regret don't think I could have been able to develop this mindset. Things always look so clear in hindsight, but we are so blind at present. Not to mention a lot people fucked up real hard, "moving on" is not as simple when your mental state is in shambles, time takes care of that though.
Experience is the only cure some say, there's no other way to learn.
Don't tell me what to do unless you're prepared to tell me HOW to do it successfully.
Fucking easy to say "hurrr don't regret" but what is a actual methodology to stop that thought pattern genius?
Everyone knows they SHOULDN'T regret but you're giving them blue balls by not telling them HOW NOT TO.
Learning from your mistakes is different from regretting them: regret is obsessing over the past, learning from the past means observing patterns and identifying things that can be done differently or how to avoid falling into patterns in the first place.
>Should puts the blame on the listener
Good point.
It's basic human psychology to fall into comfortable, but perhaps negative, patterns and then exernalize the feelings. Take a look at Glasser's Choice Theory for more information and practical solutions.
OP has stumbled upon the very basic Eastern philosophical solution to the problem of suffering. Try listening to some of Alan Watt's speeches if that appeals to you.
I'm not gonna go into my oneitis story, bro, because it's too long and complicated to be a real story, even as a greentext, but I've learned quite a lot from it and here's what I understand now.
>1) Love does not exist
>2) The only way forward is up
>3) Drugs are a waste of time, but they are fun
>4) Women are genuinely retarded
>5) Nothing actually matters that much
>Wise
>Chinese

>just choose not being sad bro
>jus bee urself brraaaah
