I'm sure most of us have experienced the situation where we're talking to someone, and we realize that, as the words are coming out of our mouths, we wish we could take them back. Whether it be an insult to a rival, or unsolicited advice to a friend, we come away from it thinking that we should have just kept our mouth shut.
Maybe I'm just being selfish, using the word "we", grouping us together when really this has nothing to do with you guys. I messed up. It was my fault, and I wish I could take it back. It's a pretty shitty feeling, knowing I've overstepped my bounds. I had no right to say what I said, and whether it be out of drunken stupidity, or merely ill-timed arrogance, I apologize.
People say that it's a good thing, being aware of how we're being perceived by others. I agree with those people with the qualification that it's going to lead to over-analysis. Hence, the blogpost. However, learning from our missteps and turning out better because of it- well, that's something positive that we can all agree on.
My intentions were just, but my actions were not, and I'm sorry.
