People nearing the end of their lives most commonly express three major regrets. Firstly, they wish they had maintained better connections with friends and nurtured their relationships. Secondly, they regret not having lived a life true to themselves, often falling into the expectations set by family, religion, or societal norms. Most significantly, they lament being overly hard on themselves throughout their lives. This reflection reveals that regrets are less about the mistakes made and more about the emotional toll taken from those moments. As individuals grow older, they come to understand that disappointments, such as financial loss or poor decisions, are not as significant as the distress felt during those experiences.
