Often times I just say what I'm thinking and don't really think about how others will interpret it until after and then I just replay it over and over again. And sometimes I really do hurt people and I say something I haven't thought through yet or didn't really mean. And then I spend forever thinking about it and interpreting anything somebody else says through it, and even after I talked to the person about it I still feel bad about it. It's Exhausting.
Misinterpretation:
This week my husband thought I was trying to say I wanted to split and I felt terrible about the whole thing and he's over it and I torment myself. All I was trying to do was explore myself and why I act the way I do sometimes. Anyway, we're all good and I just feel like I want to keep my mouth shut.
Lessons in Progress:
#1 If I could reverse this a little and think before I speak instead of torture myself after I would be a lot less anxious.
#2 Realize that everyone says things that they don't want to sometimes so they are understanding and willing to forgive.
