- kazinator 7y agoNote that regret isn't the same thing as "my hand moved without any intent from me, WTF?".
- empath75 7y agoBut that also happens quite frequently and people rationalize it. Do you make a conscious decision to put your hand in front of your face when someone throws something at you?
- friedman23 7y ago>my hand moved without any intent from me, WTF? This is how addiction actually manifests. Put an alcoholic in front of a glass of whisky and often they will grab and attempt to drink without conscious thought.
- istjohn 7y agoThe term for that is akrasia.
