Dear Felix:

If comparing yourself to some of your friends helps you push yourself forward, but comparing yourself too much gives you a headache, then better compare yourself just a little, so to push yourself, but not too much, so that you don’t give yourself a headache.

Same thing with regretting: regret just a little, just enough to learn something practical from what happened, but not too much, so that you suffer. You can learn to not post something that you regret having posted, make that mental note (or write it someplace) and then when you find yourself regretting too much, say to yourself: I learned something from what happened, I  made a note of it, so there is no purpose for more regret.
