You know, humans are so tactless. Sometimes, they hurt someone without even realising they’re doing it. All it takes really is just their words, specifically the kinds that degrade or insult a person without being an outright attack. The thing about words is that the way you say them really gives the impact. The tone and implications behind those words matter.
Okay, so you may not mean it that way. At times, it just came out wrong. You shouldn’t shrug it off though, instead you should apologize and say what you really mean. Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant but not said we start to misunderstand one another and each other’s intentions. We start to question each other and breed insecurities.
I’m going to be honest and say straight up that I am insecure. It may not look like many things bother me but truth be told, I’m just good at hiding my reactions and supressing my emotions. What you say will either affect me immediately and will last a short while or affect me later when I’m falling apart and your words come knocking, a reminder that I was not good enough for you. When I fall apart, all the mean words (whether intentional or not) layer with each other and slowly bury me alive. You may not realise then or even now but what you say, though it can be forgiven, it can never be forgotten because it is burned into my memory. No matter what you do, it will always be there.
Which is why you should always be careful with your words. You could trigger someone without realising it, most times due to ignorance. So be very careful because I can forgive your slip of tongue or the way you may have said it incorrectly but I could never forgive you for your careless ignorance.
