All people from time to time mentally return to the past.

No one has it perfect, so everyone has something to "catch on to."

But still, there is no need to indulge in regrets about the past.

What are the reasons not to do this?

Nothing will change anyway

Even if you have realized your many mistakes, have gone through a long path of self-improvement and realized where you were wrong, this cannot always guarantee a result.

Sometimes some things can no longer be changed because the right time has passed.

Depression

Sometimes we scold ourselves so much for making wrong decisions that we can become despondent and despairing. Then comes depression.

There is no point in putting your emotional state at such serious risk.

You may miss the present and the future.

Of course, it is necessary to reflect. However, this activity should bring benefit, not harm.
