Words You Should Have Said…

[swhisted]

Whenever I write something, no matter the significance, from as small as a twitter post to as big as my novel, I chose my words very carefully. And I re-read them several times over before completely committing to them, trying to imagine all the ways those words could possibly be taken. I even re-read them several more times after they’re official

I can relate to this so well. I always seem to be saying the wrong thing. :(

Not necessarily the wrong thing, but the thing someone else didn't want to hear. It sucks to question the words we thought out so carefully before we spoke them just because someone else didn't react the way we thought they would. :/

I definitely try to be aware of what I'm saying or writing at all times, but like you said there is no way to predict how someone is going to react to your words.

Sometimes I wonder why I put so much thought into it - knowing what I know about how people will react regardless, but I could never just not care - it's just not in my nature. :/
