What have you said/done in the heat of the moment and what kind of lasting impact did it have?

Yeah, on the rare occasions the red mist descends, I bite my tongue & get the hell out of there as fast as possible. Defuse the situation, words can cause significant & lasting damage. That’s a policy that has thus far served me well. So i’m sticking to it :¬) GQ by the way!

It happens rarely, but two examples come to mind. The last one was jumping down my 85 year-old mother’s throat for a topic that she tends to bring up in a negative manner. I sincerely apologized, but I still regret it.

The other was standing up for a co-worker that was essentially taunting another for her belief in religion. It made me so angry that one would do this to another that I couldn’t help but tell the girl to back off. No regrets, even though we shared the same viewpoint.

Sure. I scolded my mother earlier in the year for having sneaked money to my sister while neglecting our household bills. It happened we were losing our house, tensions were high and I basically blamed it all on my mother while snarling about my sister being a lazy spoiled loser.

I have found if you matter-of-factly say “Argle-bargle” to someone in any argumentative situation you can stop it them it’s tracks/ Try it sometime!! A friend of mine across the pond taught me this one and it really works! ;)

“I AIN’t gonna settle for no East Side Chicken Sandwich!!!”

upon which the earth stopped dead in its tracks, and from then on has spun in the opposite direction. how could you not have noticed?

I never tell anyone off in the heat of the moment, but..I am assertively honest.

Most recently I told a person that I could not abide by their double standards, which was a diplomatic way of saying ’ you’re a hypocrite!’ lol

Personally that happens to many times, I think its because in this relationship at times I keep my thoughts to myself but tend to blow up when too much is added, its calling being with your opposite… One thing that I have been dealing with is thinking too much about my actions and not being able to sleep because I tend to over think about ways to change my actions and my so called ways.. But one thing is saying things to hurt someone and then another is having said something that needed to be said, like in my situations… but of course everyone goes through them due to the fact that we all have emotions..

welll, here goes…
i called the police on my pops cos he was being too violent
didnt make a difference though.

I wasn’t angry or panicky but last night some kids poured hot chocolate on me twice. I happily yelled at them and instantly knew who it was and said things like ” you guys are lucky I’m not half the psycho bitch I was about six months ago!” When my brother saw what was happening he stepped in and helped me out.
Lasting impact is that I now realize my brother does care for me.
