[ WP ] You meet a genie that grants one wish . You wish to go back in time and change your biggest mistake . You get taken back to the time right before you made your wish .

It's either an infinite loop or the man realizes he must make a different wish to escape the loop. It's relevant to note his present self is not doomed to stay in the loop either way. The man wishing must truly believe his future/already-made-the-wish self to escape the loop. However, given that the wish was greatest mistake of his life, it would only be poetic justice that his past/wishing self would never believe his future/already-made-the-wish self, and the future man is doomed to fail and watch his younger self saunter off through time to go through the same thing. He just wasted the wish and has to watch himself waste it again for good measure. 
 
 But, he did n't encounter himself when he made the first wish. This means what he is stumbling upon can not be himself. His self, from his timeline, interacted with no other version of himself when first making the wish. The man has accidentally forced himself into an alternate dimension/timeline, and realizes he has no way back to his original timeline unless he is able to steal the wish for himself. 
 
 Would you kill yourself to reclaim your life?
