What do you do when you feel like the biggest jerk in the world?

[bluntforcemama]

I made a bunch of mistakes today, a lot of them made some people's lives more hectic, and others... well, I don't know yet. I've tried to help my wrongs, but apparently I'm just not helpfull. The more I do stupid things, the more I feel that I'm hating myself. Do you ever hate who you are? I feel like the biggest loser. Why do I do such stupid things? Why am I an excuse for a human? What is wrong with me? I'm so useless. What do you do to feel better?

I go visit my dad then I don't feel so bad

1) You are not useless or stupid; you make mistakes like 100% of the rest of us.

2) Today was your day to maybe make more than your share. Most other days you will probably make less than your share if any - most days you will probably be on the plus side of the equation helping a lot more than hindering.

3) Don't get flustered and down on yourself; if you screwed up then you screwed up. We all do that from time to time. It doesn't help anybody to get down on yourself - especially it doesn't help you. It is a learning experience, one of many to come in the hopefully long life you have in front of you. The next time this comes up you will know what to do, and what not to do.

4) Someday, you will have the opportunity to do something really good and nice for someone, and you will be glad you stuck with it, and you will be on the top of the world - the competent heroine we all know you are.

Believe me - in my 47 years I have made some doozy mistakes. Some have affected other's lives to this day. I cannot keep going on beating myself up about it, especially when they weren't totally my fault. I have to go on, do the best I can, and try to make up for it by helping others when I can.

Spilt milk, water under the bridge and all that - let it go.

Apologize profusely and often. Then just wait out the bad feelings. We all get them, and I'm pretty sure we've all been there.

Saying your sorry

I had to stop today on the way to work to buy something to help say I am sorry. I found out right when I was leaving work yesterday that our secretary thought I had yelled at her. I had no idea what she was talking about but it didn't matter.

I felt bad all night. I hate it when I piss people off and I am not even aware of it.

So I stopped off at a 24 hour store, got a smilie face mylar ballon, and a friendship card, like five bucks total. Wrote I am sorry in the card...

Now I am the greatest guy in the world again.

Rule number one, never piss off the secretary. She runs the place.

making mistakes

I've made a few big mistakes, and lots of small ones. I soon learned who I could trust / rely on. There's no point in kicking yourself over it. Talk it over and try to move on - life is too short as it is.

Echoing the sentiment that expressed that you are not "useless", or a stupid jerk.

Forgive yourself, and then appologize to the offended parties.

Then lastly, I recommend masturbation, ... and lot's of it.
Yep, anything less than, like, 3 self-enduced orgasms simply won't do.

Or, e-mail me all kinds of nude pictures... yeah, that's it... that'll make you feel better.
(No offense, just kidding)

I drop out of warp near a populated Class M planet and start raining photon torpedos down onto the cities. And when I'm done I lay back, kick the viewscreen up to Magnification 4, survey the wreckage and say "Young. I feel young."

 

[Good Kirk]

You know what a nice thing to do is? Give everyone shore leave. Then, when the ship is empty, I run around naked while the computer sings "What a Happy Minstrel I!"

leave it behind you

Tomorrow is another day, try and make it better

 

[Chuckus]

When I have a tough day and make more than my share of oops's or mistakes.........I go right for the Ice Cream. I realize I am not perfect and mistakes happen and sometimes I make more than my "quota" of mistakes per day.

I would refer you to STG's post as he is right on. We all make mistakes. That is life. If you are not making mistakes then you are not living.

 

[loki]

apologize and move, you need to realize everyone is human and makes just as many mistakes as you do. Do you hold it against them?

forget the past, you can't change it don't worry about the future, you just can't predict it.

 

[MissTaken]

when I have made mistakes.....

Step 1: Enter an empty room with a cozy bed and several large pillows.

Step 2: Lay your head on pillows #1 and 2. Embrace pillow #3.

Step 3: Cry hard and loud.

Step 4: Long, hot shower.

Step 5: Long, hot sex.

Step 6: In the event that Step 5 isn't an option, eat chocolate and post at lit!



Hugs Myst! Life will feel much better soon.

I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don't feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelll

So baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.





God, I hated that movie.

 

[Basia]

I enclose myself in my room and feel sorry for myself for about an hour, then I emerge, devower a pinte of Ben and Jerrys "Phish Food" while watching "Gone With the Wind". All the while I have my "whacking pillow" close by just in case. After the movie, I take a walk, usually just up stairs to my boyfriens house who scolds me for not comming to him sooner. He always makes me feel better though.
