How often do you say things you don't mean?

Sometimes we say things we don't really mean, and often times we hurt the person. Especially when we're stressed out, tired or busy and they just came in and bother us. Did it happened to you, saying things you don't really mean? Do you regret it? Do you asked forgiveness?

Often things that i say come across in a different way and the person i say it to takes it as something else. Its a bad habit of mine. Its mostly because im not quite sure how to express what iim saying very well

Sometimes we get misunderstood and it's inevitable. We often loss for words or we just don't have that gift of communicating well to others. But we ca work it out. We just need to learn more and get our self more acquainted with people whom we can deal so we could able to practice that kind of skills and talents. And being observant is of good help. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

it is not often that i say things that i don't mean because i am not always stressed out, tired or busy.. i cannot deny i do this at times, when i just feel i need to snap at them because of their being too troublesome. no matter how much patience i practice to keep, i have to admit that i say things that i later regret having said earlier. i guess all of us does ... it is human nature to do that. it is the level of patience that differs in people.

And it's hard to take back the hurting words that have already been said, sure we can say we are sorry and may be forgiven, but it has been said and it's hard to really say if the person has really forgiven you, there's a feeling that things are different before we said the hurting words. That is why it is wise to hold on and keep our mouths shut when we are stressed and really angry. Sure it is hard to keep our emotions and mouth on hold and we learn that through time as we mature, we grow wiser. I am not saying that I have learned, and have matured. But I am getting there, it is a long process.
