I think there's a corollary to this - if it turns out you don't always wish you did, it probably wasn't that great. The question then becomes, how certain are you this is something you will always regret having not done?

The problem is you do not know if its something you regret until you have the regret. From my experience, the more regrets you accumulate, the more you learn to not have them and enjoy the process of life.

  He doesn't have to "regret" having not done it, just "wish" he had done it for it to torment him forever.

    I don't mean regret having "not" done it. I'm talking about regrets from doing things and "failing" or fear of that happening.

there's a simple experiment for this- just put off doing it for some length of time and measure your regret at intervals. After waiting long enough that you're pretty sure you'll regret it forever, you can do it.
