What is the meanest thing you've ever done to someone that you regret?

What is the meanest thing you've ever done to someone you know (friend, family, stranger) that you deeply regret now? Why did you do it?

Okay so this is going to sound pretty bad...

I (F17) have a cousin (F12) who I beat up a couple of months ago at my sister's house and since then I have sincerly apologized to her and made clear to her that I was very wrong for doing so.

The reason I did it was because, at the time I had been kinda going through the motions - I was 16, had just moved in with my aunts family because parents didn't care about her own. I had to move into my little cousins room, and to this day I still feel like i am intruding on her space. But, with that being said my cousin had also started to show how displeased she was with me in little ways. She would shove me whenever she walked past me, (keep in mind my little cousin is taller than me, and weighs more - so legit it hurt ), turn off the lights when I used them, hit me, throw popcorn in my hair, and basically talked down to me like I was her hand maid.

When we went to my sisters house, I was already on edge because I knew that my sister would be smoking weed and out of her mind while I had to be wacthing my cousin and nieces (two preteens and a 9m baby). On top of that, I would have to see and deal with sister and my mom's drama which mentally wasn't good on my front. During that time, my sister slammed open the door yelling somthing about how my mom was a b*cth and should go die or something and after that, my niece and cousin just kept pushing my buttons when I was trying to make them breakfast, and I can't even remember what my cousin said that day before I went off, but I just remebered thinking "Just go home, if your going to give me trouble", and her shoving me again before I finally just hit her back.

Same person, If I could go back that day I would have just not gone over my sisters house at all, whilest telling my cousin to shove it, instead of hitting her. Since, she is 12 after all.

I said some pretty terrible things to someone I knew years ago and know that I can never apologize to them or take those words back.

I made a high schooler cry on accident.
I don't really feel that bad about it but I can't think of much else. So we were working together and while working, she was a host and I am a waiter, she had to tell me something. I guess I asked what too aggressive and she was really upset about it.
I honestly feel bad for coming across that way, to anyone really, but I'm kind of an impatient person who hates "filler words" (uhm... uh... *stuttering* *unnecessary amounts of "And" when you could just list things*). Writing this out makes me feel a bit worse because I sound like a total dick.

I remember it well. The worst thing I did or said to someone was in high school and 2 girls I was friends with were giving me shit about who knows what. I turned it back in their face and said they were losers and this and that….. they were kinda dorky And I was popular. It really hurt them…. More that I thought it would have. If I could take one thing back in life that would be it. Hurting friends is just so awful. Yeah cringe thinking about it. Still Freinds with one though. So glad we moved past it.

Ghosted my childhood sweetheart for about 5 years after having moved to different town.
As I got older, I eventually realized what an idiot move that was. So I contacted her and apologized deeply. She forgave me and we're good friends today
I did it because I was young, stupid and busy with my new life. Also, I've learned that I cannot maintain too many friendships at once without getting stressed, which I didn't know back then. Still not an excuse to ever ghost somebody. I still regret it so much

My dad died suddenly when I was 19. We (my family) were in a bit of a bad mood after that. I wasn't real sympathetic towards my mom for the next year after that, as I was thinking about how it effected me. I kind of regret not being more understanding of HER. However I made my mom proud of my life accomplishments since then. She once told me that my dad would be proud of me. I think I've made it up to her.

I can honestly say that I am not a mean spirited person. I am generally a nice person. you may not think so but some of the responses that I give but most are deserving.

I can be and used to be not so nice but as I got older and wiser I found other means of conflict resolution.

Theyd been hot and cold disappearing for 2 weeks at a point. Decided to dump them citing their weakness, then deliberately did what they hated most. Which got them annoyed, it was like music to my ears.

I do not have anything that I have done to somebody that was mean unless they deserved it and I do not regret any of them.
