I'm a native English speaker (BrE) and sometimes I hear people use 'wished' when it's clear they are talking about something they feel in the present. For example:
'I wished I had worked harder at school.'
I first noticed this from Americans but recently I have heard some English people say it. I would never say this, so I wonder what others think, and why it has come to exist in some dialects.
