I just hurt someone's feelings really badly.
I didn't even know I did so until she came to tell me.
And I have absolutely no excuse for saying what I did.
For someone who prefesses to work with teens, and actually, for anyone, the comment was totally uncalled for.
And I feel terrible.
Ouch.

I hate that.
Good luck making amends...
Sadly I've done the same and I think many of us have. The horrid thing is they just can't be retracted. They can be apologized but it isn't the same. Like feathers they float out of reach. I wish both you and the one who heard it better.
Glad to hear you're human and fallible.
At least she approached you about it so you had the opportunity to apologize.
nice that u take it personally. good to see that some people still have a heart beating inside
jewmaican - thanks...
smile - i seriously hurt this girl's feelings. and she's such a good kid... :(
basmelech - only sometimes... to ceratin people...
chaya - yeah, that heart was hurting last nite..
Oh dear. That's such a horrid, uchy feeling, to know that you hurt someone so badly even though you didn't mean to. I hope you'll find a way to make things better between you...like bas~melech said, at least she approached you about it. Otherwise you might never have known anything was wrong in the first place.
Good luck patching things up.
I hate that it's so hard, but mistakes happen.
ouch indeed, sometimes these things just slip out and then we regret it.
hatzlacha with patching things up with her.
yikes...
I hope u told her what u told us...and if really mean it..she'll see that..
Everyone makes mistakes..
and when you're done that..come in for another confession..
I just came across your blog and I really liked every post!! There is one midda that I find amazing and that is admitting when you are wrong. That is very hard to do and usually people try to find a million ways to justify things that they said or did. The fact that you realize that you said something hurtful and regret it, is really admirable and a step in the right direction.
Please visit my new blog too sometime..you might enjoy it. http://www.halfshared.blogspot.com/
oy! i know that feeling! you can never take back words. I guess we learn for the future.
scraps - yeah... we'll see what happens...
swfm - yeah, but they shouldn't have.
david - i did. she knows i mean it, but it's still gonna take a while for her to forgive me... guess i'll just have to wait it out.
can you anull this sin, father?
searching - i try. :)
Welcome! I'll check it out...
chaverah - yup, we do. (or not...)
oysh. I've been there before. Being the outspoken type, I tend to put my foot in my mouth often. Live and learn. Honestly, be glad that she told you, so that you know for future reference. Smile. *hugs*
