Have you said harsh words and insults to some people that you regretted deeply after?

and how did you move on from that if there was no way no to talk to them and make peace?

I didn’t regret saying them. I regret having had to say them.
TurtlePink · 22-25, F
On here? Nope, they deserved it

@Oberon1 At least you didn't allude to Dr. Jekyll and Mr' Hyde ;)
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
@Oberon1 lmfao! This is funny
Oberon1 · 61-69, M
@Nimbus Oberon is just as volatile as puck, he just doesn't care as much.

I have some regrets. I wish I would have said what I really feel.
TessDun · 36-40, F
@Keepitsimple Talking it out could have helped release pent-up feelings. I hope all are okay now
Keepitsimple · 51-55, F
I don’t have pent up feelings. I move on fast. I don’t want to miss what’s ahead. 🤗@TessDun

Not that I can recall. Any harsh words I’ve ever said to someone was the truth they didn’t want to hear. When I’m angry I’m very composed and am completely silent taking everything in until it’s my turn to speak, and even then I speak softly so they have to listen harder to hear the words they’ll have a hard time forgetting. No regrets there.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
More like regretting not saying them earlier.
bowman81 · M
Sure. Sometimes you can't patch things up. There have also been those who I should have said harsh things to and didn't. Such is life, we try do better when we know better.
TessDun · 36-40, F
@bowman81I mostly regret it after coz sometimes admittedly my negative thoughts can spiral out of control. So yes there is always a lesson to learn in every uncomfortable difficult situation
bowman81 · M
@TessDun I think it is only human. Don't be too hard on yourself.
Oberon1 · 61-69, M
Sure. I'm sure there are very few who haven't! I simply apologize and try to not do it again. Sometimes I just stop without apologizing. Sometimes I just bear the regret because I know I will probably do it again real soon.
TessDun · 36-40, F
@SW-User I wish I was this bold and fierce 👹
Lilymoon · F
Yes I have.
I try to justify my actions and beyond that I try to move on from it there's really no going back so you just have to accept it.
TessDun · 36-40, F
@Lilymoon Exactly, the best choice is to move on
I said something to someone recently with no intention of insulting her but i guess she misunderstood and took offense and was angry.. i decided not to talk further because i was embarrassed.. however if i would have elaborated my whole point in the first place then maybe she wouldn't have taken offense because she would have understood my expression as sympathy and not an insult.. but i guess it was partly due to my own misunderstandings at the time 😏 sorry for blabbing on and on.. i just needed to vent 😳
TessDun · 36-40, F
@SStarfish Don’t be sorry, it’s very relatable. It’s very frustrating when being misunderstood. Maybe you could ask her to spare some of her time for you to explain your side if that’s still possible.
Mindful · 56-60, F
Great question. Right now my pride is getting in the way because I’m HOPING it didn’t sound as bad. As I thought. I wasn’t harsh, but maybe rude. I should not have said what I did. The older I get the less I am able to hold back. I’m choosing to live with remorse but I’m not used to that. I usually apologize on the spot! But this was a half apology? Half spite? Sucks to be me right now. Remorse is an aweful feeling.
TessDun · 36-40, F
@Mindful I can totally relate and admittedly my words were really quite harsh 🤕 . Lesson learned to control as much as possible specially with words. Hope we both can move on from this guilt with time
Mindful · 56-60, F
@TessDun apologizing is so awkward. I’m totally remorseful
Adaydreambeliever · 56-60, F
I rarely regret it.... I usually mean it... but there was an occasion where I told an organisation that i was involved with, that they were useless and sitting back not doing anything... I resigned... but I did try to return a few years later, they wouldn't let me..
I perhaps should have been more gentle with my criticism, but I was right.. and I just accepted that THEY would lose out by not having me there :P
TessDun · 36-40, F
@Adaydreambeliever That's the spirit I wish I had. I usually feel really bad when realizing how harsh I've been 🥺
I send out my asking for forgiveness to the universe, and ask that it rain down upon them.

Blamed it on the "What we thought was a crashing airplane."🤭
Lilymoon · F
We all say things in the heat of the moment. I try to learn from it. 🤷‍♀️
SW-User
Never. What is said is deserved.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
I usually have to be pushed up against the wall to be really harsh, but still I wish there had been a different way to handle it.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@cherokeepatti definitely a time to tell people to back off
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Justmeraeagain that’s what you have to do to set boundaries with some people
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@cherokeepatti I have and I do even with people who were popular here or on EP... there are some sneaky folks that act different to different people and that's their prerogative ,but just because a lot of people like them doesn't mean I'm going to let them treat me like crap... not directed at anybody that's still here ,not counting blocks,at least not that I know of, lol.

smiler2012 · 56-60
{@tessdunn] if i have been harsh in words or actions my heart and conscience tell me so then iwill rightly apologise to that person for my actions
ive said some stuff to people that i wouldn't have said knowing what i do now.. but i dont usually insult people i wish to be friends with.. thats irrational
SW-User
Yes. Continue talking to them... and eventually you (and they) will apologize.
TessDun · 36-40, F
@SW-User Talking to them is not that easy now.
SW-User
@TessDun I understand. My wife is going through the same thing, with her side of the family.
TessDun · 36-40, F
@SW-User That's sad. Family hurt can be more painful

living with regret is a part of life. you just have to accept you did or said it and know that you are still an amazing person after that <3

I told someone how i felt whilst drunk and regretted it ever dince cos she cut me off
MissyChrissy · 18-21, F
Yes Ma'am, I have. But I was made to regret it.
SW-User
Rarely, if ever. Harshest thing to come from me is unfiltered home truth when people say/do otherwise to me with nonsensical tripe and expect me to not react after them pushing my buttons unrelentingly.

In fact I regret not anything I [i]have [/i]said but that I haven't said it MORE of it. So I always try to bear that in mind.
I rarely [b]don’t[/b] say what I mean, but I try to be careful to only say what I intend to.
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
Probably hahaha
Azlotto · M
I have not.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
No I haven’t….I said what I said
