Regret

The most horrible feeling in the world.

You can vent anger, control lust, own up for guilt, but you just cannot undo what you've been regretting.

Regret is that full time shadow with no limitation of day, light, time, or person. Other than those who just choose to forget, of course, but you can't forget when it's screaming at you in the face every time you feel a smile or a laugh rumbling up your throat. Regret can make you wan to tear your hair out and slice your arteries into slivers of defunct tissue; it can give you self-esteem issues and take away concentration; it can ruin relationships and make you say 'FML' 24x7.
I regret being born to such loving parents because I am not 0.0000001% worthy of it.
I regret being born at all. The world would have been a better place and all those poor starving babies in third world African countries could have consumed the food that's been wasted on me all my life.
Little homeless orphans around the globe could have had my loving parents, poor things.
The money spent on my education could have been utilized on the education of those children in developing nations who work as child labourers 18 hours a day.

I regret not being able to do anything about the fact that I was born in the first place.

I regret being born.

regrets

1) The things you have done in the past that you wish you had done differently.
2) The chances you wish you had taken.
3) The things you have done in the past that you wish you hadn't done.

Something to consider when in a situation you think you might regret in the future:
If you do it you’ll regret it,
If you don’t do it you’ll regret it, Either way your going to regret it,
So you might as well just do it
1) Why did i have to get THAT drunk??
2) I should have said yes when he asked me back to his room.
3) Why did i get involved with him?!

I've used examples which relate to my life and which i've had regrets about. Regrets aren't always about relationships though.

no regrets

An excuse for doing something rashly. Usually used in a very childish manner and for actions that aren't really that big of a deal. Often used with the shocker hand signal.

See YOLO.
