When I Make A Mistake.....

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Sat Feb 07, 2009 8:28 pm

Im really hard on myself. I beat myself up pretty bad. I will say on the whole I do learn from them but God knows I keep finding new ones to make and they always seem to be big production mistakes.

Rarely are they little boo boos.

When I make a mistake I cringe at my stupidity, and hope I can fix it.

When I Make A Mistake___________I also beat myself up and it burrows away in the head, I can hold my hands up and apologise no problem but I cant let go of feeling worthless so easily. I am my own worst enemy. I do learn from it in the hope it wont ever be repeated but it's another huge dent in my insecure mind.

Know the feeling all too well. Mistakes with things I don't mind too much. Mistakes with people are the killers.

When I make a mistake, if it's a big one, I don't forget it easily. However, I try not to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Sometimes, that's hard, too !

I bet nobody's ever thought that before! Or was this meant for the "We Are Not Alone" thread?

You need to get out of the paradigm where everything needs fixing.. every smile and wave you make is a mistake corrected.

I am human !

I am human and I will eat oatmeal !

I will eat oatmeal as if God gave me breathe for that purpose alone angels will rise and sing oceans will swell and rivers will run.

Eagles will soar and the heavens will shine down upon me .

I am human.

I AM OATMEAL MAN !:-6

Mistakes are learning experiences for me. I strive to not repeat the same mistake twice. I am human, like Nomad, and fail sometimes.

Life is a learning experience. When does one ever "get it all right"?

Odie · Post by **Odie** » Sun Feb 08, 2009 8:38 am

when I make a mistake, I don't take it out on myself......usually, but sometime yes, because I feel I should have known better.

but also, mistakes are a way of learning.

When I make a mistake, I pretend that I didn't and convince everyone else that I'm still right! :yh_rotfl

Not really Nomie, I feel a lot like you and feel really bad. I try to recognize my mistakes, and if it's against another person, I apologize and try not to do it again.

That sucks that they'd call the police just because you went to the wrong address.

I don't make mistakes.........others make them for me.

They say we learn by our mistakes .... Who are THEY anyway?

I'm sorry to say that I don't appear to learn from my mistakes.

As Clodhopper said - Mistakes with things aren't the problem. It's mistakes with people that really are the killer.

Those are the hardest ones to get over.

:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl Damn I just spit my OATMEAL all over my monitor.

Nomie that poor women will be trembling for days. I'm sure she will never open her door for anyone again, which is a good thing.

I thought it was a nice comment, nothing to do with another thread??

Nomad.

What's the gravity of your Mistakes?

I'll use a scale between 1 and 10, 1 representing: burning your toast and 10 representing: getting caught hanging upside down with handcuffs wearing a pair of leather bottomless pants with a cucumber stuck up your ass...

just how bad is it?

live long and prosper.. nanu nanu

Actual damage...depends on how it all went down while she discussed the incident with her husband at the dinner table.

If it was a simple head shaking and tongue clicking followed by what a jackass the numbers right there on the house then a 1.

If it was more along the lines of Im pissed and someone is going down still probably only a 2. No laws were broken.

If my boss thinks Im an idiot technically still probably a 2.

But what Ill do to myself will be off the charts.

I will volunteer to sit in the electric chair. That brings it right up to a 10.

Then when I go back to the right house and if the lady happens to see me it will shoot right up to about 60.

If I pass the cop on the road and I get a nod then its back down to about 20 but if he shakes his head or rolls his eyes its right at 90.

Its complicated.
