More of a 5yo answer:

If something good happens, great, there’s nothing to improve on you enjoy it and move on.

If something bad happens, your mind tries to figure out “how could I have changed the outcome?, How could it have gone better/different?, etc”. It’s harder to move on, cause it’s almost like it’s forever unfinished.
