Humans are social creatures by nature. We seek companionship not only in other humans but in beings of other species and even inanimate objects, when they can be easily ascribed human characteristics. We are hard-wired to seek out and form emotional bonds. That doesn't mean we are all good at it. I never was. And I think the me in the universe where I got everything I ever wanted probably never will be, because he wouldn't think he'd need to be.

A choice isn't always a clear matter of right and wrong; it is ultimately only a branching of paths. Somewhere out there there is a world where you didn't make the 'right' call. And that you has likely made different choices and cultivated different regrets and learned different lessons. Ultimately what matters is that you learn and move forward. Not all knowledge is pleasant, but stagnation is universally abhorrent.
And I have found it is easier to move forward when you are not alone.
