Is it normal to regret everything you do?
It’s normal to second-guess yourself sometimes, but feeling like you regret every choice can be exhausting. You don’t have to treat every doubtful thought as proof you made the wrong call.
Lots of people replay conversations and decisions, especially when they’re stressed or being hard on themselves. But if it feels like you regret everything, that may be less about every choice being bad and more about your inner critic getting the microphone all day.
Try asking yourself what you’d say to a friend who made the same choice, or whether you’re judging a past decision with information you didn’t have at the time. If this feeling is constant, weighing on your daily life, or making it hard to enjoy anything, talking it through with someone you trust or a mental health professional could help.
