Why do some people use the word "regret" if they don't mean it's their own fault?

Asked by flo (13313points) May 24th, 2016

“They say I regret….” but it’s obvious (and sometimes not) that they don’t mean they did something wrong. What’s the right word as a replacement. I guess there’s the “It’s unfortunate that…happened” but what goes after the “I” in “I….that….happened”.
