Yes*

If it’s a big and “real” mistake, I learn on the first try. But I also make the same smaller stupid mistakes a lot, causing me to wonder what the hell is wrong with me.

I also try to learn new things, however, and that requires making all kinds of mistakes, because that seems to be the only way I learn.

Passing on advice is like talking to a woodchuck. He can hear that you’re making noise, but to no avail. I still try.

A big mistake I made once was trying to play psychiatrist with a friend. She was telling me some stuff and I probed deeper (not like that, pervs) and suddenly she exploded in tears and starting telling me every horrible thing that ever happened to her. We got through it, but I learned to tread very lightly with someone’s past trauma.

*sometimes

You probably helped your friend by probing deeper ( not in a perv way ), sometimes we need to confront difficult issues in our past, in order to begin healing.

Descriptions, adjectives, aspirations. Words. They are even more important around here now than when I first wrote the idea for this question down!

Tell me three words that -

1. Other people would use to describe you

Kind, handy, funny

2. You wish more people would use to describe you

Smart, debonair, clever

3. You secretly use to describe yourself

Lazy, pervy, confused

4. You are not but you wish you were

Driven, organized, assertive

5. You are but you wish you weren't

Anxious, pudgy, self-conscious

Were we all supposed to use that last part to just gently stretch each other's



lexicons? Was this supposed to become a thesaugy?

Actually, this exercise made me realize I’ve been using the word “aloof” completely wrong… like, embarrassingly wrong

Nah, I'm just showing off

Wait..... I need to know how!

 

[EvaLane]

Wait..... I need to know how!

I was using it more like an action I think? Like something someone does, a flirty little mix of endearing and ditzy energy.

And it doesn’t mean that at all.

Fun thing about language is that if enough of us use it like that then it eventually will

A good example is “goat.” It used to mean someone who screwed everything up; a shortened version of scapegoat. Now it’s an acronym for greatest of all time.

I’ve been using that all wrong!
So when I call someone a Goatfucker, I’m actually complimenting them?

Also… I can’t respond to this one
Oddly enough, of all the very personal questions I’ve responded to on here, this one feels too personal.

Learning From Mistakes (nope this definitely isn't about me regretting the whole M word thing)

Do you tend to actually learn lessons from your mistakes? If so, does it happen on the first go or does it take a few mistakes? Do you try to pass on lessons and save others from a mistake or do you just let people make their choices for themselves? Can you tell us a lesson you learned after making the mistake?

This is such an interesting question. I feel like the idea of learning from your mistakes implies that you do not make the same mistake again. For me, I think that learning from a mistake is more about understanding how the choice may impact me or others and then making a decision based in experience versus never repeating the same action.

I think we all learn by doing aka making mistakes but what we do with that information varies.
I feel like passing lessons on rarely works how it is intended. In my professional life I mentor large groups and some of that work includes sharing past experiences to help them make different decisions in their own lives. I've found that anticipating and expecting folks to need to learn by doing, even when it includes making mistakes, is the most impactful and lasting approach.

I've made so many mistakes, I'm a lifelong learner , but my biggest one is trying to predict how someone will respond. I’ve repeated this mistake over and over and am often surprised. My past mistakes in this area mean I am more prepared to navigate the responses I predict incorrectly. I don't know if I'll ever stop making this mistake.
