I really have to learn to be more careful.
But I often find myself being too careful. And that is also a problem. But it seems like whenever I let myself go I do something so stupid that I completely regret it.
Today, for example, during a discussion I was making a joke and it came out wrong. It came out terribly wrong and I feel really bad about it. No one seem really offended just a bit “What? You shouldn’t say that.” look from a few.
I didn’t mean it at all the way it came out. I just thought quickly and it came out in a way that sounded bad and I could only laugh instead of properly fixing my comments. I feel ashamed and wanted to correct myself, but I don’t know if I was able to make that clear afterwards.
I just feel bad now.
What I shouldn’t do is attribute that to me acting more assertive. It was a mistake and mistakes are made. I still need to be more assertive, I just need to be more careful.
I hope your so embarrassed you run home and hide in my basement.
That would be a long run Paul and instead of your basement I would hope he would hide in mine. LOL
how bad of a joke was it? Did you apologize after wards?
