What is something you discussed on SW…

Either on a post or in private message that you regret?

And will discussing it on this post make you doubly regret it?

@Ghostinthemachine 🫤 Ive probably said a lot.of stuff I shouldn't have over the years, hahaha.

@Nebula I hope you can take comfort in the fact you’re not alone

Oh sometimes I use the box to explore or express something I later find myself uncomfortable at having put out there in the world, but that regret seems to have more to do with my own state of mind than what I actually said. The subject matter may be more personal, more negative, or mundane, but heaven knows I’ve left plenty of those behind and never felt an urgent need to delete. 🤷‍♀️ Got to go with what feels ok I guess.

@JustNik it should work that way, like therapy. It's wasn't designed specifically as a social network for dating or gossip. I thought it was supposed to be for saying what is on one's mind

JustNik · 51-55, F

@atlantic59 it is whatever you want it to be, I think. 🙂

atlantic59 · 61-69, M

@JustNik exactly. A free form for thought. I go back to the Experience Project and just kept the same attitude. And though friends and detractors come and go -your journey remains intact as a tree grows through seasons

itsok · 31-35, F

I know there have been plenty of things, mostly about feelings I was having, but nothing in particular comes to mind now

Ghostinthemachine · M

@itsok I’m sure we all have at one point or another

Right-wing loudmouthing, I regret every second I've wasted reading it and engaging with these fascists. The mute button has been in frequent use lately

Ghostinthemachine · M

Muting is a good tool to save yourself some regrets @CBarson

NathanielS · 31-35, M

I can think of some moments where I tried to discuss something more serious and everyone just made jokes. Look, I make sarcastic and joking comments all the time, but not every moment online is the time to be a comedian. Just saying. 🤷‍♂️

atlantic59 · 61-69, M

@NathanielS now that's funny🙂

atlantic59 · 61-69, M

@atlantic59 you are a born stand-up -love your delivery👍🙂

Jenny1234 · 51-55, F

Nothing

Ghostinthemachine · M

That’s quite impressive@Jenny1234

Why regret a subject?

I regret being friends with backstabbers, and regret people's reactions, but not a certain subject

Ghostinthemachine · M

So you’ve never written something or expressed a thought or opinion you wish you hadn’t?@sstronaut

sstronaut

@Ghostinthemachine I regret the reaction it got, but I had no control over the reaction... if people want to purposely take it a negative way or direction, I have no control over it.

Ghostinthemachine · M

@sstronaut sometimes we won’t know what kind of reaction our words will get, and sometimes we know exactly how to trigger someone

atlantic59 · 61-69, M

sexual proclivities when high

@atlantic59 I don’t think this place could turn you half gay, but maybe it’s helped discover a side of you that was always there

atlantic59 · 61-69, M

@Ghostinthemachine I'm looking forward to:'going behind'

Ghostinthemachine · M

Good luck with that @atlantic59

ninalanyon · 61-69, T

Nothing so far.

Ghostinthemachine · M

Wait for it....wait for it....@ninalanyon

bijouxbroussard · F

Occasionally I’ll complain about an annoyance. When I read it back later, it strikes me as petty and trivial. I try to give myself a few moments before posting now and have deleted things.

Ghostinthemachine · M

@bijouxbroussard I think we can all learn, both online and real life, to take a moment, a breath, before writing and/or responding

scorpiolovedeep · 46-50, M

That is really good.

@bijouxbroussard

Nuffin

I know what to share and what not to share on the open posts 🤓

I’ll take that as a “no...for you that’s impossible” 😁@Elanor

bijouxbroussard · F

@Elanor That puts you way ahead of many of us. 😅

Elanor · F

I’m no better than anyone ma’am 🌹

I’ve just learned by now who cares and who doesn’t @bijouxbroussard

Someone discussed about witnessing a guy jerking off near them on some public transport .I past off a flippant comment,about me thinking that only happened in porn films ,and then got a sad emoji from the person posting ,and berrated by another SW member,who then blocked me,even though I Said its wrong..So I regret going in with a flippant comment about that 😳..
