Have you ever felt too ashamed to reconnect with someone because you behaved very badly towards them out of anger?

The egocentrism. Just wow!

[Jbear27]

Nope. I’m a very rational person and it take a lot for me to lose my temper. Even when I do I think 50 steps ahead of what’s going on in the argument to recognize the repercussions of what may happen if certain things are done or said. So if I say something mean, I thought about it for a while in my head and I meant it.

[Asimiv]

No. I've never behaved that badly out of anger I have enough self-awareness and self-control not to do drastic things. But when I did make a mistake, if the other person didn't tell me, but I had to figure it out on my own, I still apologized. Unfortunately, the last person I made a mistake with/towards because I was confused won't talk to me 😔

[catarecute]

if you hurt someone that badly i think you shouldn't try to reconnect with them. depends how bad it was. thats my opnion it my not be true i dont know. there are people that have hurt me so much i would hate them to try to reconnect with me.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I have certainly experienced this. I've been ann asshole plenty of times in my life, teen years, post college years. Eventually, it's important to swallow your pride and reconnect with those who will make you a healthier person mentally.

[Billlewis]

No, but I'm sure plenty of people have experienced this.

[Radiate143]

Have you been fine to reconnect with someone after behaving badly or do you not fly off the handle like that?

[Billlewis]

No, because I always treat women with the utmost respect. But if she's treated me badly in the past, I almost always come crawling back to her if she lets me... lol;)

[Zenpanda]

Nope, if I'm angry at someone (I'm very hard to anger) they deserved it. I wouldn't even want to reconnect.

[Bricealan]

Yes, yes, yes... and I still regret it to this day... A good female friend I worked with and lost my temper with her at work, and never apologized or reconciled.

[MemeSupreme]

yeah like it's embarrassing bc it's childish to act out of anger and lash out

[ProbablyClueless]

Nope. I give my actions a lot of forethought that way.

[TonyMetal___86]

Yes it happened a couple of times in my life but after some time, i fixed things and went back normal again...

[love_conquers_lust]

Nope. I generally like to atone or express contrition for closure. Clears conscious.

[love_conquers_lust]

I actually made peace with a man who nearly plowed into me in his truck while I was 4-wheeling because I was stupid. He screamed at me for flying out in front of him narrowly avoiding a collision by 30ft. Years later, I apologized and we made amends. He told me “You’re a leader”. He died of cancer a few years later. I was fortunate to have sought forgiveness prior to that.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I'm too proud to feel ashamed of the things (good or bad) I did.

[Radiate143]

So sorry to hear that.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

There is no need to feel or be sorry.

It's better to live a life without regrets.

[Jupiter1]

‘It’s better to live a life without regrets.’ That’s awesome! 👏 For the most part, I live my life that way.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

@Jupiter1
Good for you, too!
"Live whatever (and/or whoever) in the past and don't look back."

[Jupiter1]

That’s another good principle! People will eventually learn that it’s true and helpful.

[Radiate143]

So if you wrong someone you're too proud to feel sorry or ashamed about that. That's literally a disorder.

[eagle1951]

nope

[crazyymann]

yep.

[PreciousJewel]

No, I behaved that way 'cause they deserved it

[Radiate143]

So people deserve your bad behaviour? Because you get angry, it doesn't mean you behave badly. The question is about inappropriate treatment of others.

[PreciousJewel]

They did something that made me angry

[Radiate143]

So it's okay to wrong people out of anger? Two wings make a right?

[Radiate143]

Wrongs

[PreciousJewel]

Well making someone angry is also wrong

[Radiate143]

So two wrongs make a right in your opinion. Tit for tat.

[PreciousJewel]

Not what I mean but if it makes you happy, sure.

[Radiate143]

Wow!
