You don't have to keep doing the things you hate. Why go home and beat yourself up for, say, not going over and saying a few words to someone you find really attractive? Can any damage they could do to you by rejecting you possibly be any worse than the damage you're going to do to yourself for missing the chance?
just read on...you will love this one.

</P><P>You know whose fault it is that your life isn't perfect.  Your 
boss.  Your teachers.  Your ex-lovers.  The ones who hurt you,
the ones who abused you, the ones who left you bleeding.  Or 
even yourself.  You know whose fault it is — you've been 
telling yourself your whole life.  Knowing whose fault it is
that your life sucks is an excellent way to absolve yourself
of any reponsibility for taking your life into your own hands.
</P><P>Forget about it.  Let it go.  The past isn't <I>real.</I>  “That was
in another country, and besides, the wench is dead.”  If we're
not talking about something that is real and present and in 
your life <I>right now,</I> then it doesn't matter.  Nothing can 
be done about it.  If nothing can be done about it, then don't
spend your energy dwelling on it — you have other things to do.
