Constantly been thinking about the choices not taken in life. All these what ifs.. Is it normal to have such thoughts ? Not saying that it’s turned out to be all bad. I’m happy where I am right now but always do wonder what might have happened ..

It’s impossible to know if a choice you didn’t make was good or bad. For all you know a choice you regret not taking could have led to great loss and trauma. It’s normal to have these thoughts but not healthy to have them as dwelling on the past causes depression just as dwelling on the future causes anxiety. When you find yourself experiencing these thoughts. Be compassionate towards yourself, ground yourself in something you’re happy about in life right now that you wouldn’t have otherwise.

Do you regret the person you became or the person you didn’t become?
