While differentiating between regret and hindsight bias requires the use of empathy in looking back retrospectively, preventing regret is forward looking using a concept called premortem. Life Update: I did my first podcast interview last week talking about my experience as an EFL teacher in Thailand. I found that I'm still slightly autistic in the manner that I'm not the most socially aware person. I was telling a story about my yellow food coloring laden water guns and how I used them in class. By the interviewer's body language when he started covering his mouth I knew he didn't like the story. I only recognized this in hindsight when I was watching the recording. What I find humorous others may not especially since many of the things I did would not be allowed in an American school. A valuable lesson to take away. I'm used to watching myself on camera, I cringed when watching the podcast interview though as it was not just a monologue which I normally do but a conversation with another person. Reminds me of when I recorded my lectures last November, I tolerate watching those videos now after watching it so many times. I'll do the same with this interview recording.
