When we do the wrong thing, most of us regret it because I think most of us are good and want to be good. And when we're not good, we feel crappy about it. And so these are regrets that people have about, oh my gosh, the two bigger ones here, marital infidelity. I had a lot of people basically confessing on this world regret survey. It was like an online confessional.

oh man, I was such good friends with Hala 12 years ago. I really should reach out to her. But oh my God, it's even more awkward now and she's going to care even less. And so we don't do anything and sometimes it's too late. And that's a big mistake. Let me just double click on that for a moment.

That's a huge mistake. We have piles of evidence showing that when people do reach out, it's way less awkward than they think. We're completely over-indexed on awkwardness. My view in general in life, reading the research, is that if you're feeling awkward about something, just fricking push through it. Don't let awkwardness, feelings of awkwardness, be that barrier.
