Worst Mistake You Ever Made

I want to hear how stupid you are

How about you? Are you going to offer up your own worst mistakes?

Welcome to Lit, however, part of being in community here is sharing of YOURSELF.

Stag just laid his heart out... therapeutic or no.

I challenge you to tell us something about yourself. Your profile gives me not a clue... I do not even know whether you are male or female. (Not that it matters, particularly, just a curiosity)

I would also posit, that a person can have made terrible mistakes and not be stupid.

Stupidity is something else entirely, and I find it demeaning to both you and to the posting board at large that you framed your question in this way... that you wish for us/ me/ posters at large, to expose our "stupidity" for, presumably, your entertainment. I am not playing until you show some cards.

even if he meant it in the most insulting way possible, there's no reason I can't just take it as an excuse vent some things

I might have shared these somewhere or another anyway. I probably already have. He could theoretically have already read all of what I just posted.

As long as that's my meter, i've got no problem taking a noob's thread and making adding to it, base premise and all, making it my thread too.

So... welcome to lit mLa-*numbersoup*?

you *can* PM laurel to get your name changed, if she's feeling generous.

Was that string of numbers a set of symbols in a different alphanumeric set, perchance?

Looks like a NY phone number. I'm gonna call it right now.

EDIT: "You have reached a non working number..."

The concept of the question bases on the idea that when you would have acted differently in the situation where you made the worst mistake, it wouldn't have become a worst mistake. This is of course nonsense. You cannot predict the results of a different action and the worst mistake handled differently might result in an even worse mistake.
 
Our worst mistake

Our worst mistake was responding to this dickhead's thread, setting this up as mistakes are a demonstration of stupidity, when, in fact, mistakes happen because people try. Purely and simply. Sometimes things work as planned,sometimes they don't, but that has more to do with courage than stupidity. Science and the world of innovation are crowded with examples of great things that have come to pass because people have made mistakes, had accidents, whatever. look other postings by the waz who started this thread. Anger, meanness. a dickhead.

Thanks to Stag for sharing a brave and compelling narrative. But even there, I don't see mistakes. I see a willingness to try and to persevere. All of you, all of us, are human. CB, cookie, rock on! Life happens. Who's to judge? This stupid twat has set a trap, but let's not buy into it.

Stay strong!

I'm sure that he/she made this thread to do some sort of hostile vicarious projection of their own insecurities like a gay Texan pastor would do in the 80's. Why do you think "being gay is a choice!" is such a big talking point for them? 'Cause for the people propagating that claim, it is a choice. :rolleyes:

Either way, I guess we can ignore the implied hostility in the post itself and focus on the title for venting like Stag has done.
Side note:
What eventually happened to your spine Stag? Were you OK in the end?
 
The modest mistake... Laid off after 20 years, I received two job offers the same day (this was after my six month vacation, near the end of unemployment benefits). I chose wrong. The road not taken would have resulted in stability and more money. The path taken eventually took me to this soul-destroying university job with co-workers from hell.

More seriously.... My brother was considerably younger than me when he was growing up. I wasn't around for him enough. He died six years ago... my mistake was not being enough of a role model... maybe he wouldn't have ended up being such an idiot (said with affection.)

I like dickheads.

I'm not mistaken.
 
Since I believe in giving people a chance.....

I bought my spouse exercise stuff for Christmas the only year she let me buy her gifts......
 
For you guys, Staggy, Dave, all of you, that revealed stuff. You revealed to us, too. That's okay. We will be gentle with your mistakes.
Fuck, more gentle with yours than with my own.

I did sorta see the trap. It spoke deeply to... my ... dark feelings.

I have to struggle still not to acknowledge them as though they were personified in anyway. I don't "have a demon" I am the demon.

In any case; I also saw an invitation to show off some battle scars, and engage in a smidgen of nostalgia, which I have been told over and over is my strength; the talent where my magic is strongest... I could use a little magic right now.

This. Ooof.

I find blurting (sharing, vomiting words, whatever) is helpful. The chaos in my brain somehow gets straight. Or more straight so I can wrap my arms around issues and try to resolve them. Or at least identify them.

Overexposure is a worry. Opening up a vein creates the need for other people to try to fix me. I write a blog about the ALS stuff and, at times, it becomes somewhat false and cheery because I know family, friends are reading it and I don't want to alarm them with darkness. Oddly, that's why I blurt to strangers. There's no fixing involved, other than messaging - which feels comfortably safe.

I hope you find your magic.

Those are tough mistakes. Hopefully not regrets. Maybe that's a fine line. You just can't play these what if situations -- easy for me to say, harder to do. I have a couple of those "mistakes" too. If I let them creep in, they eat at me. So I keep them just far enough away so I won't repeat the same mistake but I don't let it chafe at my soul.

Speaking of mistakes...

some councilors advise that you personify your depression. It's important, so they say, to acknowledge that the symptoms of the depression are not your fault. some sort of monster or something... something theoretically tamable.

for a lot of people, this exercise leads naturally to the idea of a beast... often a black dog (there's that black dog again) that holds them down during times of depression. From there, they can learn that the black dog doesn't really mean them ill will, tame it, and most importantly, dissociate from the symptoms of depression.

None of that shit worked for me. And man... that was a really, REALLY dark road.

The one exercise you should NOT try, is talk to it. Do not write down whatever you imagine that "black dog" might say to you.

I've gone back and forth on whether I should share the name (i did briefly, and deleted it), or never 'speak' it again, but my "depression demon" was a mistress who would not have me, who resented the creative exercise that implied her existence. It wasn't just depression, I mistakenly personified my self loathing.

And so I have found it's very important to me to own it. I can stretch my creativity and whimsy all I want, but when it comes to my own actions and emotions... there is nothing in there but me. Those are my emotions. I own them or they own me.

This.

All of this. Own your shit. It's a tough thing to learn.
