How do we feel regret?

 

In the video β€œ70 People Ages 5-75 Answer One Question: What Do You Regret Most?” By Glamour, 70 people are asked the same question. The children answer the question first, starting with a five year old girl. Most of them have the same answer β€œTo be famous.” Then, the teens to young adults answer, their responses ranging from friendships to family problems. As the 20-30 year olds answer, the answers start to change, now the responses focus on losing loved ones, and what they should have done differently in high school. The video progresses and the ages increase, most regrets focus on immature choices, college, family, and parenthood. Humans are incredibly diverse and our experiences shape us into the people we are today, which is why everyone can interpret a question differently or give a unique answer. This video shows that as humans, we regret different aspects of life, but our diverse answers unite with one emotion, no matter the age.
