Do you learn from your mistakes?

[JAG]

I would like to think so. It does not always work out that way though.

 

[gwud]

I do generally for things like if I leave at half 8 for work I will be late and similar things.

However I always make the same emotional/personal mistakes again and again. Worryingly I know I'm doing it but find myself powerless to stop! Fun.

 

[Michael Chris]

Sometimes.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I try to. It can be a bitch though.

 

[Goji]

I like to think I do, and I certainly make conscious effort to improve when I notice something has gone wrong. I succeed sometimes, sometimes I don't. I think I can say that I make different kinds of mistakes now than I did four years ago. I suppose that's progress.

By the way, I'm sorry to hear something unfortunate happened to you Flukie. Best wishes now and always.

 

[Capn Flukie]

I hope the courage I have shown today makes up for a mistake I made in another time.

 

[Gertch]

That did take a lot of courage. Either way you'll be better off for it. Course I hope it's the together way.

 

[SicOne]

I never seem to learn that leaving long rambling posts usually turns everyone off and they go away.

 

[Josh Kelton]

Do you learn from your mistakes, or do you find you are trapped repeating them?

Sometimes, although I think I'm gradually getting better at learning from mistakes.

 

[RandyS]

I might, if I ever made any.

 

[Deckerd]

We have a saying in our family: Once bitten, twice bitten.

So I guess the answer would be no, Flukie.

 

[Capn Flukie]

Apparently I don't. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

 

[Deckerd]

There is hope, though. There's wooden trim sticking down from the bulkhead in the main living area of our boat. I think it was originally designed to take a screen so that the front could be used as a cabin. We only had to hit our heads on it about a dozen times before we remembered to duck.

 

[K'Ehleyr]

I haven't tried everything yet, so I'll probably make more mistakes ~ but will endeavour to learn from them!

 

[jamestyler]

No when it comes to women

That was my first thought too... and confirmed (oddly enough) by an ex.

Aside from that - I don't make mistakes
