Why do I do stupid things?

Maybe the question for you, and for me, should be why do we find it so easy to judge ourselves and so much harder to forgive? Fuck the recriminations, we're just out here trying to get by and we don't always get it right.

Most of make mistakes, usually not serious and easy to remedy.
I suspect many of us make more mistakes than we admit to.

I think the usual causes are things like:
- moments of being inattentive, not being tuned in to our sense perceptions and thus not noticing all that is going on around us
- distraction: either addiction to entertainment and stimulation, or preoccupation with other issues
- impulses driven by high emotion eg infatuation, fear, anger
- lack of research, information and planning
- not thinking through possible consequences before doing or saying something
- mistaken beliefs
- stress, juggling too much at once time
- fatigue, heat stress, dehydration, not knowing one may be coming down with a flu or illness
- addiction, being drunk or similar

For some people it can be due to undiagnosed ADHD

How else would you learn through experience?

Everyone is just trying to get it right. It's not easy. Some people were born as Irish elves and never had a chance [image deleted bad elf]

Cause you have thoughts and emotions, and your passionate about them.

human condition; to do less, you have to be less human.

We've all been there. It sounds generic but it's the best I've got.🩷

We all do at times :)

You're human?

But are they at least fun?
