The Ultimate Test of Self Esteem #LOH245
Hearing certain words after making a mistake and feeling judged and attacked in the deepest part of our being, what do you think of this phrase: " I told you so" would you also say it to someone else?
This topic hits deep and am pretty sure most of us, if not all can relate to this topic one way or the other.
The word "I told you so" has always been a very depressing word after making certain mistakes or decision,expecially when you have been warned or told no to, by someone. I believe alot of us wants to be consoled or given a little bit of hope about a certain situation rather than being judged.
I get it, most times you get frustrated and angry towards someone else's decisions, especially when you have told them severally, about the danger or outcome of the decision being taken.
Most times the word "I told you so" is even said by me subconsciously, I judge myself even when I defaults and it cuts so deep and leaves a lasting impact of guilt and shame, i even try to test the waters again in my mind, trying to be all defensive but still end up being shamed by "yours truly."
The truth is most times l feel resentment towards that person most times, expecially if the person makes it as a mockery towards me, for correcting or warning me but I refuse to listen.
That being said, I wouldn't want to say such a word "I told you so" to someone but I don't think it's inevitable in this life for some reasons. There is always that someone that will make you alter that word, either as correction or mockery for being in the right.
Today I can't proudly say, I haven't said such a word to anyone before, just as I felt resentment towards others, I hope those I have offended will forgive me too.

Yeah I do that too. I tell myself those words when I know I did wrong when I thought of what I should have done. Lol I forgot to put that in my post but anyway it's fine.
