Deal with regrets

Dude grow up. Mistakes are part of life. The more you make the more you learn. Life is only one. Just don’t waste time regretting and go make more mistakes

Heart goes out to you brother/sister. My grandfather would always remind me of the words Heraclitus: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” I never really got those words until I was abit older. But it’s true, even if you come back to the same moment in time and could do things differently there is no guarantee things would be different. Furthermore, to change any of things would change who you are. As hokey as it might sound, try writing about it. It can be cathartic, maybe muse about why you fixate on those moments. There is nothing wrong with thinking back on those things from time to time, but you should and must let it go to embrace the person you are to be. As you’ve said, those moments taught you something, appreciate and focus on that, rather than the sting of regret itself. Meditation/prayer, working out, a new hobby, journaling all things than help you move on. Maybe even consider therapy. It can do wonders just to talk, without judgement. Good luck. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Therapy

Mistakes provide a deeper kind of insight that isn’t really possible otherwise. I was a Christian until early 20’s. Now I despise religion. I don’t regret that experience. Be proud of where you came from. Give yourself credit for where you are. Don’t worry about how long it took. Just aim up and live in the present.

Part of life, dude. I dumped a good relationship/girl who adored me so I can be single and sleep around. Ffwd. She is now executive level raking in the M's

being regretful shows you’re sane, otherwise you’d be a psychopath.

Regrets are fine as long as you learn from them. It’s part of being an adult.

Just don't mingle with people who judge you, and help you regret more. You would be fine
