Is it normal to not feel any regret?

Depends.It depends

Yes, it can be normal not to feel regret, especially if you’ve made peace with what happened or don’t see a better choice you could have made. What matters more is whether you can recognize how your actions affected other people and take responsibility when needed.

People experience regret differently. You might feel little or none because you’ve accepted the outcome, learned from it, or simply don’t tend to dwell on the past. Sometimes the feeling shows up later; sometimes it doesn’t show up at all.

Not feeling regret doesn’t automatically mean you’re uncaring. If someone was hurt, though, you can still listen, apologize, or make things right even if you don’t feel guilty. If you mean you can’t feel much of anything—not just regret—that’s a different pattern and may be worth paying attention to.
