    I embarrass myself all the time. Once I locked myself in the trunk of my own car by accident, but I don't mind it. People find it charming because it results in weird adventures.

    I'm trying to work on the regret thing though. There's some areas of my life where I take huge risks, and there's some areas of my life where I'm incredibly guarded. At the end of the day, I don't want to regret playing it safe and missing out though.

    I feel the saddest thing would be to be laying on one's death bed regretting the things one did not do.

    I'd rather be embarassed.
    You get over embarrassment.
    I've never had HUGE regrets but I feel they would haunt you more than an embarrassing memory.

    Embarrassment. Regret can last a lifetime if you're not careful.

    yeah embarassment, but once you get older it seems it is inevitable to regret at least a few things-- that girl you never asked out in high school, that job you walked away from, what could've been different had i only...?

    to me embarrassment and regret are almost identical so I find it hard to pick an option here.

    Regret is the only choice here, if you ask me. Embarrassment only last a moment, in most cases. Regret can haunt you to your grave. I'm kind of regret free and I aim to keep it that way -

    How does embarrassment have more votes? 【・ヘ・?】

    Embarrassment is caused by other people, it's not your fault. You can't do anything about it so it's easier to get over with.
    Regret is entirely your fault and makes you feel terrible about yourself.

    I choose embarrassment.

    I would hate to leave this life regretting my decisions and the people I hurt along the way.
