Amber Hollingsworth opens a short YouTube monologue advising viewers to heed one particular instinct: the "you're going to regret this" gut feeling. She argues that ignoring that instinct leads to predictable regret and self-directed anger, and she signals she will illustrate the point with a personal anecdote.

There is at least one instinct that I want you to always listen to. And that is when you have that instinct that says you're going to regret this. You know that one? I have that one because of that one. When you have that one and you're about to make a decision and you know you are going to regret it, you like knowing your gut it's a bad decision and you do it anyway, don't you always end up regretting it? And aren't you extra mad at yourself because you knew it before you did it and you did it anyways? That's the one I always want you to listen to. I'll tell you a funny story about that.
