Have you ever said something candidly + realized that it could be taken wrong?

Yes. I've said some bad stuff that i didn't mean to. These things happen. When i'm angry, i'm angry. It's when we're in our right state of minds that we them realize our mistakes and in some situations, It's already too late to apologize.

I understand this completely-I've done that also..my father was very verbally abusive in his last years on the deathbed-and I reached my breaking point a few times-and my tongue really got the best of me. I did get the chance to apologize but it's bothered me for years to come.

Hi Rachelle,
Yes, it happened to me several times I feel so sorry to that person and I regretted a lot but seems saying sorry was not enough to amend,but I still tried to explained my part and my meaning so finally she accepted my apology, so now I'm very careful handling my words before uttering it to somebody.Its not easy to offend someone without any intention doing so.
Good day

It's hard once the damage has been done! I have always had a big mouth and been wayyyy too honest. I was talk to speak the truth..but sometimes those words can be misinterpreted..and I speak without thinking. 
Once it's said-It's hard to undo the damage and tell someone "hey I didn't mean to offend you I didn't realize"...

Dearest Rachelle...
I have said a lot of things to people without realy thinking much. And a lot of people got offended, though i never meant it that way. I am a little bad when it comes to expressing but yet people misunderstands me and i feel hurt.
I have lost so many fruiends just because of this and because people misunderstand my somewhat good behaviour.
Girls tend to feel i am running behind them or have feelings for them.
Its just friendship and i behave the same with all, irrespective of gender and age.
Well yes sometimes i may have been wrong to have not spoken rightly but then whats over is over.
The only place where i talk now is mylot. Thank god my friends on mylot never misunderstood me or felt i was trying to fall in love with them or take advantage.

Thanks Rachelle that u understood me. U r also a very caring person and i so happy i got a lovely friend like u.
At the same time i am so sorry that u lost ur good friend who was like a brother to u and u r lonely. But friend it so happens that sometimes people cant share a few things of their life with anyone and suffers from a depression out of it.
I hope he would have told u, then things would have been better. But then,...all i can say now is dont think of what happened and about people getting offended. Live life once again in a new way and u can always get me as a friend and a brother too...though i am a little younger to u...so i will be ur little brother.. :)
Be strong and fight for survival.
My best wishes r with u.

Oh yes! I've done this plenty of times! I think we all have. Some people are worse than others about being a little too outspoken, though. If I feel like I might have said something to offend somebody, I'm always quick to apologize. I then might try to reword what I said exactly. Some people don't care what they say, though, and they get themselves in a lot of trouble for their mouth. Kathy.

I am quite outspoken-but I'm not to the extreme to where I let every thought slip my tongue...but I usually have the habit of not thinking how my words can be interepreted-I learned that here once! Sometimes you don't know what people have been through and they can take offense at something you'd never even see coming.

yes a few times, but then again, its because people always think one should settle for how they think and self proclaimed status. I no longer care what people react like to my thoughts and words. I chose to say whats in my mind and if people don't like it then tough. I will stand for my word, good or bad.
