I offended someone again...

[Olivia Bauer]

Nobody on this forum, but I messed up big time. I've p**sed off Trevor and Circus, I guess I just offend everyone. Sometimes I think I don't deserve a keyboard. Just felt like sharing since two of my failings was to people on this forum. I don't know how I manage to do it.

Just apologize to the person you offended, learn from your mistake and move on. It doesn't have to be a big deal.

I already apologized. I just feel like crap. This happens too often.

Damn. You made me google a name!

Anyway the person who I made angry apologized to me after I sent an email. They weren't having a good day either.

Since Circus hasn't been on Badmovies for nearly a year, I guess any offense occurred some time ago.   Trevor is a forgiving soul, of course.  I p**s people off too.  Own it and be who you are, apologize if you later realize you were wrong.

We mall have bad days, A.J.
Shake it off and move on.  Pain proves you are still alive.

That being said, I like ya fine.

AJ, at least you realized it.  Normally I end up offending someone and not even realizing it.  They don't talk to me for days it and isn't until someone else says something to me.  I can be very thick headed at times.

Glad I'm not the only one!  I should read Greek Myths more.

Look, just apologize and try thinking before you hit "send" next time.  Don't use it as an excuse to fish for attention here, especially if the incident didn't even happen on this forum.

     Hey! You haven't offended me lately; is it because I'm Texan?

I remember how angry you made me way back (I almost quit the forum: I was that angry) but it was also partly my fault as I thought you were calling me something you weren't. My advice: forget it, move on and stay here.

Speaking as somebody who offends people quite regularly, it's really not the end of the world.

I'm constantly pushing the envelope with people because I figure it will be fun for both me and the offendee. It usually is, but sometimes you go too far. When I insult my friends, its a joke I figure we'll both laugh at. The last thing I would ever want to do is hurt somebody's feelings. But it happens, and when it does I also feel like a sack of s**t.

Here's a weird kink of humanity, though. When you get into an argument with somebody, no matter what it is, after you get through that argument that person will feel closer to you than they were before. Of course, this only works if you make up after the argument.

Intent is really important. Did you mean to make this person angry? If you did, sure, you're an a***ole and they have every right to not like you at all. But if it was unintentional, then the burned bridges can be rebuilt stronger than they previously were.

Now, don't go all Dark Side and exploit this facet of humanity. Just realize that we are by nature argumentative a***oles and go about your day.
