And evidence shows that, for some people, they regret things that might have been - and for others it's things that did happen, but didn't go according to plan. Well, according to Amy Summerville, Ph.D., an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Miami University and Director of Miami’s Regret Lab, the answer is in the research. So why is that one person that got away so difficult to shake? They focus on that person, compare everyone else to that person, and never really let themselves move on. Although sometimes the one that got away can be a nothing more than a wistful memory, for other people it can become toxic - and even obsessive. ![]() ![]() If there's one person in your life who you've never managed to get over, you know how hard it is to have the "one that got away". ![]()
