Do you learn from your mistakes?

[BRAINWORMS]

Does mentally flogging myself for them for the rest of my life count as learning?

 

[aeon]

Yes but it only make things worse, there are mistakes you can't take back.

how do i grow without shame, guilt, regret, and punishment? that's all i've ever associated character development with. for now, asking myself impossible questions like this feels like enough. i'm hoping to somehow make a revelation soon.

 

[b&w]

Me too OP, I usually make the same mistake at least three times before learning. I try to take accountablility and understand but nothing ever reaches my dumbass brain lol

 

[ReflectionOfTrauma]

I have learnt from being bullied, that when I'm making jokes about myself, people usually don't do it after me and they find harassing me less funny.

Besides that, I can make the same mistakes hundreds of time and never change me behavior, lol

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

Never! It's one of my hallmark characteristics.

 

[UseItOrLoseIt]

I don't have to make mistakes. I still attract misfortune.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, I never learn from mistakes. Things always seem to go wrong for me. I do see everything as mostly out of my control though. I think many people can make mistakes thinking they were doing the right thing at the time.

 

[WrongPlaceWrongTime]

My soul wants to learn from mistakes, my brain loves to repeat them.

 

[CogitoMori]

Obviously not. I keep trusting people when life has shown me multiple times never to trust anyone

Sometimes I do but very often I find myself in a very familiar awful situation because I've made exactly the same mistake again. I'm usually furious with myself.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Thinking about it - I may have learned sth of the mistakes I made but I made mistakes again. There are quite some mistakes that led me to where I am now but it's too late now ... and I prefer to do nothing anymore bc a new mistake can just push me to CTB.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

My prefrontal cortex might be intact, but that doesn't mean that I learn from my past mistakes. I'm a lazy idiot, so I usually end up repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

Obviously not. I keep trusting people when life has shown me multiple times never to trust anyone

This is me, I should've never opened up about my Suicidal thoughts as now I'm being constantly watched and being treated like a criminal
No....I never learn from my mistakes. I always do them again but in different ways I'm so stupid
I keep dragging the people nearest to me into deep shit
This is one of the reasons why I want to CTB
