Have you ever said anything you really regretted later?

Yes, I have indeed.

And the worse one was after my daughters boyfriend died.

I will not go into what I said, however it was totally the wrong thing to say and I deeply regretted it, and still do today, some 20 years later.

I have said a few other odd things I have regretted but cannot really remember many of them -0none like the one above.

I have said things I am not very proud to admit to,though right now,I cannot recall exactly what they have been. I just know that we ALL say things that we regret in extreme anger or frustration at times. I do know that I always have said how terribly sorry I am when I have done this,which may be why I cannot remember the exact details of the events. I must admit that in the last 10 years or even more,I have never opened my mouth unless I am certain of what I wish to say! Words can be very hurtful,and life is just way too short to hurt those we love.

Love the quote in the image. I most definitely have. Usually not major things, just lots of times when I know I could have been kinder or more patient than I was. Oh, and there are times when I have said stuff that wasn't mean, just dumb, so I wish I had just kept my fool mouth shut. Ah well, live and learn.

LOL -yes true Jennifer but at the time it just seems to "pop out"!

LOL, so true.

Of course.
We all have done it, and because we are angry and have a mouth, we use both.
The main thing after is to.
Fix it up.
Learn from the lesson.
Try Very Hard to Never do it again.

I can't think of anything I've said that I regretted terribly. I know I've said some shitty things but I've always apologised profusely and been forgiven so I tend to move on. If someone couldn't forgive me for something I said I might remember something in more detail.

Saying things you regret is a part of life. It's a learning experience. Unfortunately, it's a learning experience that hurts others.

Yes I have, probably many times...not seriously bad things....I think as I have matured I have mellowed a bit and now much more careful what I say to people....I know how easily 'I' can be wounded so it's a case of 'do unto others' I think..

by Fran

I love that quote. And yes, I have said things I later came to regret, and things I immediately came to regret.

by Vee

Yes - however, I think that is human nature. We have all done and said things in the heat of the moment we might later regret.
