Anyone have any major regrets in their life ?

Ever done anything really mean to someone who has shown you only love and kindness, and wish you could go back and put things right ?

I would welcome your experiences and any suggestions.

1. yes, but there's nothing I can do but move forward.  besides, the thing you might regret doing may have actually saved you from a worse fate...

2. I don't know that I would say mean, as in malicious, but I have been insensitive where I wished I hadn't been

3.  suggestions on what?  can you give us some information?

Agree with D.
If you have done something bad to a person, I'd suggest to go and apologyze to her. They won't necessarily accept your apologies, but it's always worth trying!

As for the rest, I'd need some more info, if you can...

I've been there. years ago I was insensitive and careless with a very good friends heart and in the process I ruined what was an amazing friendship.
Here's what I learned from it.
1. You can only apologize so many times before you have to think. Do I want her forgiveness to make her feel better or because I need it?
2. We're human, we screw up. It sucks, people get hurt.
3. Learn from your mistakes, don't live in them.

apologize from the heart, it has to mean something.  if the other person doesn't forgive, you have to be okay with that.

I don't know your circumstances, but I have a friend who hurt me a while back.  After about a year of not hearing from her, she is kind of back around again because we have mutual friends anyway and so far things are cool, but distant.  But if she ever wanted to be close to me again, she would have to acknowledge the gravity of what she's done, she would have to make a big effort with me, offer more information about her motivations behind her deceit, open up to me and offer understanding that what she did was really painful.  Otherwise I just simply don't trust her, think she has an agenda and sees people like me as a means to an end.

I have a hard time with regrets.  There are always things that we all wish we would have done differently, or not done at all, but here is the kicker (for me):
I love who I am.  I love where I am.  Those regrets got me here so why would I call it a regret?
