This is true.\n\nI resigned from my job instead of fire another human being.\n\nMany of us do not see beyond the end of our noses.\n\nWhat I did may not change anything in this world. But I will always know I did the right thing!!!

Discussing problems with an outsider, and not discussing with YOU... bad. \n\nSitting on the back of someone's motorcycle. What harm? Barely touching him...\n\nI think he was wrong in not discussing your mutual problems with you FIRST.  \n\nYou did nothing wrong in my opinion. Going off on a motorcycle, I don't see the problem. \n\nI agree with you, what he did was much worse.

Awww....baby I'm sorry! \n\nOk first, you have to step back and forget the whole situation and focus on the person you refer to. Look at their life.......I mean seriously look at it. Whatever it was that they were angry about initially obviously has nothing to do with the situation at all, but their need to influence does. Ok so why do they need to have this influence? What is it that they are lacking otherwise in their life? Something has left them so insecure that they have to rally all those around them in order to have the focus and attention. \n\nOf course we can jump to the conclusion that this person is just ego driven and only is aware of things in terms of how it will effect them. But you so HAVE to step back and see why on earth they are like this. It's hard......but if you honestly want to get to the bottom of this and solve the issue, you so have to dig deep. Once you figure it out, you can feed that need of theirs in ways that allow them to react not so negatively and not so manipulatively. \n\nI know you girl. You are SOOO up for a challenge. Ok...well here you have one. Solve this one Sherlock! And once you do, and feed the fire in your brilliant way, I just KNOW you will see a change. :) \n\nLove ya!

Whatever you did happened in the past and you can do nothing to change it. I happened. If your deed involves hurting someone you love (that most likley the reason you feel bad about it) then it might be a good idea to talk with the person about it. If that person cares about you he or she might forgive you,especially since you didn't do it intentionally or without planning. \nIn any case it was something you did "without thinking" therefore you didn't plan, there was no "intent" more an "Impulse". Learn from the expereince, file it under life happens and go on.

I would pick something that you have done in your life mistake or not, that has some how changed you for the better. People relate well with situations they are familiar with. Try something along those lines

Personally, there are only couple of things that cause me to panic:\n\n- When I accidentally hurt someone physically or emotionally\n- When I can't tell the other person the truth or complete details on something that might change their life in a positive way (giving that person a way and a solution that can save that someone's life). I'm not quite sure what I can say to make and/or help them see it from my point of of view.\n- When I think that I've dissapointed, upsetted, or made someone angry with either what I have said or may have done.

Time heals all, eventually.  \nFrom this there is still a lesson to learn.  Remember since actions speak loader than words, only your actions can repair the damage that was done by your accidental words.  Eventually you must face the reality of what was spoken.  Yes, more than likely it will bite your backside.  How you chose to respond now will mold you for the future.  Next time when you talk about someone else, remember to treat them the same way you would like to be treated in the same circumstance.  More than likely you will spend some time repairing this indiscretion, so pay your dues and recall the "golden rule."  Treat others the way you would like to be treated.  Maybe you can escape some of the trouble of this action, but it will come back to haunt you sooner or later.  Actions speak volumes loader than words.  My advice would be to stay calm, confront the problem head on, Apologize/explain yourself,  and then stay to myself quietly, hope for the best.  Good luck!

One time I was driving to the store to buy some groceries and I was in a really REALLY bad mood. When I was walking into the store, an ederly woman was coming in  RIGHT behind me. And of course, i was grouchy so I didn't even hold the door for her, and she had trouble getting in. So then I went to the produce got some apples, etc. And then I started to feel really bad about what I did to the lady. But I just continued to walk through store like a total.... well you know which word.... I went to the "self check-out" line and guess who was behind me.... The lady who I shut the door on. \n\nAfter I checked out my items, I waited outside for the elderly woman to get done with her groceries. As she came outside, I approached her and said " Excuse me ma'am, can I help you to your car?" The lady said yes so I proceeded to her car. As I loaded the groceries into her trunk, I saw tears rolling down the ladies cheeks. I immediately thought Oh shoot what have done to this poor lady. The lady then said "Oh sorry, it's just that my husband just died last week and it makes me so happy to have someone help me out."\nI then realized how much a I had made that ladies day.\n\nAs I was driving home, I thought that it doesn't hurt to just do one simple thing for someone, because even if it means nothing to you, it can mean the world to that person."

That is very sad. I'm sorry for your loss. I would assume that there were extenuating circumstances that caused them to take such action.  Ask them why they did that would be my suggestion.

Once, this morning, I realised that my work computer was missing. It had clearly been taken by one of my housemates, so I did a dump on their bed, and rubbed it in a bit, and I dropped some scabs in their porridge.\n\nImagine my embarrassment when I got work only to be reminded that I was sacked last week for doing a dump on my boss's desk, and that I had been forced to hand over my computer at that point.\n\nWe had to laugh. Well I did, my housemates haven't come home yet.

OMG the funny memory this question dragged up!\nThere was this obnoxious guy that kept groping at my ex-bosses grand-daughter in the bar.  He could not take a hint.  Anyways, we were out with some friends of ours, one of whom was an off duty cop.  We escorted the pig and his friend out of the bar and I must have been feeling invincible with my cop friend and swung at the guy hitting him square in the face.  I dont know who was more shocked, me, him or our friends.  Anyways, his friend was dragging him away as my friends were holding me back.  I can't imagine what on earth possessed me to hit the guy (rum maybe???) but I am glad everyone else had enough sense to let it stop there.

Hard to say. You need to find out more about this person. Faulting someone for being ill is a bit on the cold side, but hear him out and then decide for yourself. If he did it to someone once, what might happen if lets say, you become ill?

Lack of patience.\nI let out my temper without it staying in me more than 1 second.\n\nI missed out a lot of opportunities, I hurt a lot of people, I said a lot of things that I regretted, I loose a lot of stuffs, I wished I could change the past.

A girl I woked with had really bad B.O. and everyone else in the office refused to sit or work with her and she was really down.  I decided to take her for lunch and explain why people were not being so nice to her.  It was really hard but I was as sensitive as I could be but had to tell her basically that she didn't wear enough deodorant.  I said that maybe she should change brands because the one that she was using wasn't working.  I know it isn't a nice thing to do but it turned out that she had something wrong with her nose and couldn't smell properly.  She was embarrassed but grateful.  She told me that she couldn't taste certain things when she ate because of the problem.  I felt like a b***h but it had to be done.  In the end she had an operation and now can smell and taste.  I felt really sorry for her.
