At What Stage in Life do People Develop Regret?

Most are living in such denial they don’t have time for regret.

Depends on what useless things you are wasting your life on.

Many won’t have time for regret because the useless thing they waste their life on will kill them.

If you are really wasting your life on toxic relationships, addictions, unhealthy living I guess regret would come into play as you’re laying in a hospital bed.

It’s when reality smacks you in the fucking mouth is when regret from living a “distracted” life comes to surface.

So many live in denial until it’s too late. It’s just easier that way, you know? Like denying your whole existence in what really is a meaningless life for most in the end.

We all will die, and working 25 years or so your existence never mattered for most. You are nothing but an average Joe.

We spend decades trying to escape ourselves, surrounding ourselves with people we don’t really like, while living a life we hate.

Confused.

If we live the life WE want, it comes with criticism. If we live the life most do and adapt to the norm it will be an easier road. But doing that brings regret.

So really, you’re fucked either way.

Choose wisely.

Nothing worse than regretting something you had complete control of until its too late.

Don’t let it be to “late.”

Regret can be a son-of-a-bitch.
