I know right, there's this fine line. A balance as it were. To thine own self be true and it follows thou cannot then be false to any man. ---Shakespeare, quoted from memory.

If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, then I imagine the path to heaven is fraught with inconvenient truths.

I regret not knowing how to trust myself and the gift of divine timing. There is a moment to speak, and it only takes a split second for that moment to vanish.

to say something i should not have. bad social skills. i'm much safer when i'm keeping my mouth shut
2015-10-04 2:04 am
I would regret both of them.
2015-10-02 5:29 pm
I regret both to say and not to say something because everything looks better on suitable time and place.
2015-10-02 2:04 pm
I'd regret saying something I should not have more. In that situation, I have regret and the person hearing what I should not have said is also upset. If I fail to say something I should have, the only one affected immediately is me, even though what I should have said might be beneficial for the other person.

To say something I shouldn't have. Sometimes its best to keep the mouth shut.

I regret not having a better education

"Better to regret doing something than to regret not doing it." Not sure where that quote is from, or if I quoted it right, but I think the meaning is still powerful nevertheless. When I think about it, it really depends on the person. For me, I'd rather have said/acted on something rather than hold it back. You never know what could of happened, and maybe that's the worst fate, to keep asking yourself 'what if?' and never getting an answer because you weren't brave enough to act.

Then again, I suppose it can also backfire when you say/do something that ends badly, but at least then, you know what happens, whereas not acting leaves you forever wondering what could've been.

I have no regrets, because I speak what's on my mind.
2015-10-05 1:11 pm
Not to say something I should have
2015-10-04 10:17 pm
Both

Depends on the outcome of saying something I should not have said and not saying something I should have.

A Spanish wise man once said: "The pain of the things we've done eases with time; the one of the things we did not do, never".
2015-10-04 1:52 pm
Not saying something I should have.
2015-10-04 12:26 pm
Both, there have been times where I felt like I should have said something rather than say nothing, there have been times were I wish I'd just kept my mouth shut, there are times where I wish I could rephrase things that I had said, I don't really regret anything, because I done all I could with the given situation at the time, the only thing I hate is when I repeat the same mistake over and over again, I I try hard to learn from my mistakes, then I don't feel all that regretful

One must always speak and act from the depths of his heart. Others will always judge accordingly. Always speak from the heart and His Light will always shine through, regardless.
Regret is a negative. Be rid of negative energy to move forward in your journey...!
One cannot change the past, but he can alter his being along the journey in his life. :D

Not say something I should have
2015-10-04 5:03 am
I'll easily forget about a situation where I should have said something but didn't, but when I put something out there into the universe that I should not have...chances are I'm going to pay for it.
2015-10-04 4:46 am
Neither. Nobody is so precious that they cannot survive a few badly chosen words. Unspoken words can cause no harm.
2015-10-04 4:32 am
Not saying something I should have. But it really depends on the situation. If I didn't tell my best friend her boyfriend was cheating on her I would regret that. But saying something I shouldn't have is something that really relies on the situation. Like screaming out an answer on a test or telling your child that their parent is a drug dealer. It depends.

SHORT ANSWER not saying something I should have said
2015-10-04 2:10 am
I regret saying something I should have instead of saying something I shouldn't have more.
2015-10-04 1:57 am
Say something I should have
2015-10-03 11:16 pm
NOT SAYING SOMETHING
2015-10-03 10:39 pm
I have never regretted *not* saying something.
2015-10-03 10:12 pm
I always think of things I should have said during a fight, but after it's over! So I would regret not saying something
2015-10-03 8:03 pm
I regret not being brave enough to act on my own opinions, once I though them through
2015-10-03 7:16 pm
The first one. What if you say something hurtful? You can emotionally wound someone forever.
2015-10-03 5:04 pm
If I want to answer this question .I regret , that who is "you" in that question , if I don't know him there is know way to answer this question , in fact there is know answer to that question , but if I know that who is this (I,him,we)
then this question never arises in the first place.

Not being able to live in a world which has no conflicts and hatred
2015-10-03 10:28 am

2015-10-03 8:39 am
後悔的事多咯...
2015-10-03 7:00 am
Take (steal) something from my bestfriend not realizing what it will do to our friendship so that friend (friends since we were first born) aren't really friend anymore because of that one mistake :(
2015-10-03 2:52 am
If I say something I should not have said, it means I've crossed a line with someone or some group of people.
If I don't say something that I should have I may have sacrificed an idea or an ideal, I might have lost a deal, I might have surrendered to something outside of the small cover of living.
So obviously I regret the latter. I don't want to lose something I have worked for.
And BTW, categorically the two are the same, and reframing the question would help the congruence of a reality which seems desired.
2015-10-03 1:01 am
Usually it's the second
2015-10-03 12:08 am
Also recognized as "the sin of commission" and "the sin of omission," respectively. It is well to note that much "karma" or "social mess entanglement" is made with the spoken and written word. In either case (commission or omission), regretting correlates with factors such as injury, self-blame, etc.

I say both
2015-10-02 11:58 pm
I regret not being brave enough to act on my own opinions, once I thought them through. Forget what I say or do not say
2015-10-02 10:58 pm
say something you should of not said
2015-10-02 8:59 pm
Regret what I have said marginally more.
2015-10-02 8:16 pm
prefer to be careful from the beginning than regret later
2015-10-02 6:44 pm
say something I shouldn't have. Remember .......it's better to keep your mouth shut and make people think your stupid then to open it and remove all doubt. Get it?
2015-10-02 6:16 pm
none
2015-10-02 5:30 pm
Both
2015-10-02 5:17 pm
I regret that I never got the chance to beat up or kill all the evil jerks who were so mean to me when I was in school!
2015-10-02 4:43 pm
Saying words you should not have said can hurt much more than not saying something that you should have said.
2015-10-02 1:10 pm
Depends whether I look to the past or future
2015-10-02 12:28 pm
Wasting my youth just for nothing.

There is no retraction once you say something you should not, the damage can't be undone. If there is something you should have said and didn't there may be other opertunities in life to redress the balance.
2015-10-02 12:10 pm
I wonder why we feel the need to make things like this into a contest - which is the best, the worst, the most, etc. Why not just observe that both of those things can lead to regret?
2015-10-02 11:54 am
It's better to keep one's mouth shut and have others think you're stupid than it is to open one's mouth and prove it.
2015-10-02 9:36 am
not say something I should have
2015-10-02 5:15 am
Both equally.
2015-10-03 3:14 am
I usually regret not saying something when I should have.
