Ah gosh.I do

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Ah gosh.I do

Ah gosh.

I don't feel too great right now.

Earlier today I was kind of mad, and ticked off about something unimportant. I said some stuff that was rude and stupid to my friends. I was feeling like that, I guess, but looking back on it, I was incredibly dumb and horrid. 

Now they're mad at me.

I feel so sick. What was I thinking? It was the stupidest thing I've ever done and I'm incredibly sorry. What I was upset about doesn't even matter. It was the most petty thing, and I just totally ruined everything. I'm gonna cry.

I want to tell them that I'm sorry, but I don't know if they'll listen, because if someone siad that kind of thing to me I probably wouldn't forgive them. Whenever I see one of their names or a photo, I feel like I'm going to barf. I feel just terrible.

I want to say sorry. I'm really, really, sorry. I almost want them to never speak to me again because I deserve it. I really deserve it.

I'm so stupid.

I'm so sorry. I think the best thing for you to do is to apologize. Even if they don't listen, you'll have tried, and they won't think you didn't care. Everybody has bad days, and I'm sure they'll understand.

Abi…We are here for you. Esthelle says that that's not a lot, but it is. *Virtual hug*

Abigail S, you are not stupid. Everyone gets ticked off at times, and you just made a mistake. You are human. Humans make mistakes.

And besides, you realized what you did wrong, meaning that you are a good person, and you're NOT STUPID!

*Gives Abi another hug*

Will my bunny cheer you up?

Awww, I know how you feel, Abi. that's happened to me before. once it happened with something especially important, but for weeks, I didn't tell the person I'd upset how I felt. That was a long time ago, but I still regret it.

So I've learned from that mistake that you should apologize,m even if you think they won't accept it. That would be worse if you didn't apologize...You should definitely apologize. Start out with something like, "Look, I know I was really awful, and maybe you don't want to hear about it from me. But please, hear me out..." Just...say you're sorry, tell them how you feel, basically what you're telling us, because you're being very honest with us. Just be honest with them.

And I think a really good point to bring across is understanding: (like you told us) if it were you you probably wouldnt forgive them. Actually, I think that point there is really important to bring across.

Think about that, if it would work for you, because maybe it might not...but for sure what I said in the second paragraph.

But don't be too hard on yourself, Abi, because you don't deserve that. You're a good person, and you are NOT stupid.

Kind of losing control like that...everyone has done it. Don't be super angry with yourself for that. The important thing is not the fact that you did something wrong (because you're human, and you can't avoid mistakes), but what you do after that mistake.  

And remember...we're always here for you, on the CB.

Oh, Abi...that's quite a predicament. What's important is that you KNOW you were wrong, and you're honestly sorry, so you're NOT stupid. Try your best to apologize, and if they don't listen, write a letter explaining exactly how you felt. Good luck!! *hugs*

~You're Invited To..... Abigail's Pity Party!!~

~When: Any time~

~Where: Chirp At Cricket, Chatterbox~

~What: A party to let others pity Abi!~

~~~

Sorry, I just had to do that. So anyways, don't have so much self-pity. You still need to be strong, even if you were a jerk to your friends. If you really want to keep them as your friends, then you should talk to them, no matter how hard it seems, and try to work things out.

Honestly, it all depends on what you said. Some things, no matter how slight the chance, cannot be forgiven.

It also depends on your friends-- whether they value you, if they're kind, if they're forgiving-- to solve or wrap up the situation. If they have those qualities, they should be pretty accepting and then you'll be content again like nothing ever happened. But of course if they're cruel, then you'll be alone and friendless.

Just saying.

And you should dispose of all pictures and memories of them if they don't forgive you to avoid getting sick.

Also just saying.

So if this doesn't help, then I give you my permission to kill me.

Just kidding. ;)

Now let the pity party carry on!

Excuse me, Scylla, but everything can be forgiven.

Thanks. As you may be able to see, I am not a sympathy author.

I think Elmodaisy is trying to dampen everyone's spirits by criticizing their writing. Elmodaisy, that's not nice. And some things are left unforgiving; believe me, I've met people who can hold a serious grudge. For years.

Awww, it's okay Abi! You're not stupid.

Eeeeee I do that all the time. There is actually not much I can say without regrettting it later. 

*hugs*

Thank you all very much for the advice and hugs. *hugs back* I'm feeling a lot better now. 

Mei, that bunny was wonderful. OuO

Scylla, that was very, very, funny. I think the Pity Party will be ending soon, though.
