NBR: Have you ever spoke before thinking???

smo321

I have and now I wish I could take the whole thing back.  ITs really too long of a story to get into but I just feel awful.  I keep replaying the conversation and now I keep asking myself what was I thinking.  I can't stop thinking about it and even though I have apologized and the persons involved said its ok.  I just can't stop thinking about how stupid I was.

Yes.  I'm quite skilled at putting my foot in my mouth.  I have said such embarrassingly inappropriate things that I still cringe thinking about them years later.

 That said, I'm sure you are the only one still dwelling on it after the fact.  Try not to worry too much.

I've done it several times.  I also have a tendency to say something and I mean to be nice but it comes out the completely wrong way.  Once I was trying to compliment someones house and I said "what a cute little house" but it sounded more like, "oh you have a little house" because of the tone I used, I felt awful for days about that one.

When I was in community college (I went to community college instead of high school - Running Start), I had a professor I really really liked - he was also my advisor and ran a club that I was on the board for, so we saw each other a lot.

Well one day I was mad at him - don't remember what for - and I went off to a friend of mine about how he so stupid and a horrible professor and everything else, I was just immature and venting.

He was right there, and he tapped me on the shoulder and made a comment to me.  I have never felt so bad about running my mouth, because I really respected this guy and I could tell I hurt his feelings with my stupid comments. 

I still think about it all the time, so no, you definitely aren't the only one to have run your mouth and later regret it.  I think everyone does it once in a while.  At least you are able to apologize and make ammends.
