Regret
negative conscious and emotional reaction to personal past acts and behaviours
Regret is the emotion of wishing one had made a different decision in the past, because the effect of the decision were not good.
Regret is related to a missed opportunity. Its intensity changes over time after the decision.
Regret is different than remorse because people can regret things beyond their control, but remorse is about a sense of responsibility for the situation.[1]
