Thinking too much about the past and about things that are beyond my control.
想太多关于过去以及那些自己无法控制的事情。
I'll often spend time reflecting on mistakes I've made, things I wish I had/hadn't said, and wondering how differently things would've turned out if I had taken a different course of action. It's not healthy at all, and it prevents me from living in the present, perpetuating a vicious cycle of not appreciating what I have and then wishing I had done better.
我总是反思我所犯的错误，我不应该/应该说的话，以及如果当初我作出了不同的选择的话现在将会有多么的不同。
这完全不健康，让我不能活在当下，最终陷入了不能接受现在所拥有的一切然后希望自己当时能做的更好的无止境怪圈当中。
