Do you mean regret after the fact, or doing things I know I'll regret but do them anyway?

I do both, embarrassingly.

Wouldn't be human if you didn't.

The best is when you debate choices in your head for days and no matter which choice you make, you regret it.

Oh for sure. I'll hyper focus on something and become obsessed with it. Then when I pull the trigger on it the fear that I've made a poor choice will begin to build. I'm kind of dealing with that with my return to Warhammer 40,000 (40k is the common abbreviation). Sucks because nothing wrong with my choice persay but I also want to do this other stuff instead. Literally debated for about two months before making the choice and still feel like I picked wrong. Oh well -_-
