Instant regret:- Words we wish we could take back.

Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today's topic on Hivenaija is "Have you said something that you instantly wished you could take back the moment, whether you apologised or not?" So let's dive into it.

Yes, I have been in that situation, even countless times that I can even mention it. Because sometimes we can be angry or If we are in a situation where someone did something to us that unknowingly we will say something that when we later think back of the thing we said to that person we will feel bad within ourselves thinking why did we say such thing to that person. If we later realised our mistakes and apologised to that person, and the person realised that you didn't mean it, then the person can forgive us and forget about it.

There was a time when I was having my 11:00 class after I was done with the 9:00 class, and the lecture room we were supposed to use for our lecture our 400 level are already using the room, and inside our faculty we only have 12 lecture rooms, and out of the 12 only two are the largest, while the remaining 10 are small, and it can't contain we 200 level students. The first lecture room is for our 300 level cause they are much and over 300 students and we the 200 level are the second largest so we thought to use the second lecture room but since our 400 level are already their, so our lecturer said we should manage one of the smallest lecture room in our faculty and since we are much and we are 150, so everybody started running so that they can find space for themselves.

Even I was among those who are running to find space, then a guy from my department pushed me cause him to was trying to look for seat, when he pushed me I fell and I wounded my left arm, it was gushing out blood though the wound was not that deep but I was angry that when our Lecturer found out he sent the boy out cause what he did was not proper so after treating my left arm I went to sit back on my seat, as our Lecturer was teaching us another guy from my department mistakenly hit my wounded arm, that immediately I said an insultive words to him without thinking, after we were done with our lectures and I rethink the word I said to the guy I felt bad and guilty cause I didn't mean to say such insultive words to him and also I don't even know when the word slip from my mouth.

I have to look for the guy and apologise to him and asked for his forgiveness, letting him know I didn't mean all what I said to him and that he should find a space in his heart and forgive me. Then he said no problem, and even the following day I have to apologise again because the guilt was eating me.

As a human being, regretting something said impulsively is a common experience for us because we can say something or say hurtful words to someone that we will later regret.

I will love to highlights what can lead us to say something that will make us instantly wish we could take it back.

---

Emotional reaction: Sometimes if we are emotional, we might react or say something hurtful without considering the impact of our word.

Immediate regret: After the word has already been spoken and we realise what we say to the person, we will be feeling guilty about what we said.

How others will feel: If we say such a word and we see the reaction of that person, e.g., hurt, anger, or confusion, it can make us feel guilty or remorseful.

Reflection: After apologising, there will be a time that we will sit and think about what we said and try to think within ourselves why such a word slip out of our mouth.

Apology: To make it better, we can apologise to that person because apologising matters and can repair any damage so that even the person will know that truly you are sorry about what you said.
