True Confessions

Time to get down.

These questions are tough, but answer honestly, otherwise--what's the point?

What's the worst thing you have ever done to someone?  What do you consider it the worst thing?  What were the consequences/rewards to doing this thing?  Was the sacrifice (doing something awful) worth the reward (whatever you got out of it)?

What's the meanest thing you have ever said to someone?  Why did you say it? What was the outcome?

If you could go back in time and have a "do over" for either of the above worst things, which one would it be?  Why?

  1. Made fun of them. That's bullying and even though I didn't know it I just became what I hated. A bully. The consequence was feeling like a absolute asshole. The reward is having a laugh with my friends.

    Actually meaning the word asshole. I called my buddy Dylan an asshole for not sharing food even though I always would give him some.(I was like 13 btw). He would never share anything and I was always be pissed about it. Then I learned his family was broke and going through rough shit. He literally couldn't share. The damage was done though. I would take back the bullying I did. Im a firm believer in eye for an eye and what goes around comes around. I became what I hated and make sure I don't bully no matter what.

  2. Knowing who I am as a person it is not supprise that I have said some hurtful and malicious insults and actions towards another person. The worst of them all is "go kill yourself" at this time is the worst thing and saying i ever done ,especially if they actually lost someone because of suicide. It was the worst thing i have ever done because i also pointed at them and pointing and saying it makes it worst, I think it is the worst thing I could've said because if someone does kill themselves they are lost forever and they will never exist in this world subconsciously. The reward, if you want to consider this a reward, or doing this is to make someone feel like they don't matter, making them depressed thus in turn making the person who said that accomplished and happy of what they have done. The cost isn't worth the outcome, because I'll say this to a person and I'll feel good at that time, but I could've potentionally put that ideal in their head making them depressed or I could've brought a bad memory back.
    I think out off all the thing I could've taken back was me pointing at the person and telling her to kill herself when she had someone close who alredy did commit suicide. It is because she doesn't need to reminded and also be told to end herself.

  5. The worst thing ive ever done to someone is i guess mock them constatly, but i cant really say that is the worst because the majority of things i do are not to hurt people unless i really dont like you. the consequence was their feelings were hurt. the sacrifice was their feelings. The meanest thing ive ever said.... i cant remember half the things i say but off the top of my head i would say " You're good for nothing". i said it because alot of people, well the majority atleast say and do dumb things, therefore i feel i have to let them know how i feel. the outcome was they looked at me suprised and didnt say anything, and some people just laugh it off. in my opinion it was worth it kind of, i have to get my point across.

  6. The worst thing I've ever done to someone was lie to them. It's the worst thing to me because lying to someone is unexceptional to me. The consequence was that I lost their trust. It wasn't worth it in the long run. The meanest thing I've ever said to someone was when I called this girl fat. We were arguing so I said what was on my mind. The outcome was nothing really. We went our separate ways. If I could take anything back it would be when I lied. I don't ever want to be a liar.

  8. The worst thing I've said to someone is calling a person stupid. It's not a term to use to make someone feel good about themselves. It literally makes you feel worthless amd shitty to be called stupid. I think it's severely worse to lie to someone. Not lie to them about random things around them but, about things that directly relate to them. If you tell them they look pretty and you know for sure that they have never looked worse, that's fucked up. There aren't any rewards that come out of doing thinges to make people feel bad but, if someone tries to come crazy at me, they're getting thrown back in their face twice as hard.
    I wouldnt go back in time to change the things I've said because i've up for them in other ways. There's no reason to mourn over it.

  9. The worse thing I did to someone was make fun of someone that caused them to go into a depression. The consequences i got from was that it made me feel her hurt and pain that i was causing. At first it wasn't my inattention to make her depressed or any of that pain. I wasn't thinking before i did anything. When i think about it now, it wasn't worth it, only because I became depressed cause the simply fact that karma came from me and people started to bully me. I told myself i would never bully another human being again. The simple fact that I was the bully , felt the persons pain, then got bullied and actually became depressed. Til this day i will never bully a soul again.

    The meanest thing i ever said was that i told my sister to go to hell. Why i said that? Cause i was angry and upset with her. I didnt mean it, but that was the first thing that came out my mouth. I don't think it was any outcome , but I knew I was wrong that day and I had to apologize to her. If I could go back in time I would do over every wrong thing I said and done. But at the same time I wouldn't because I lived , and I absolutely learned from it.

  10. The worst thing I’ve ever done to someone was judge them before I even had the opportunity to talk to them myself. I’ve never felt more terrible in my life because who was I to judge them. Judging them before I had the chance to talk to them did not make me any better of a person, judging them before I had the chance to talk to them did not make me any happier, judging them before I had the chance to talk to them only solidified the type of person I was not the type of person they were. The consequences of doing this was missing out on the chance of meeting someone I could’ve had an awesome connection with. Thankfully, I’ve learned from this and rarely judge anyone now before I meet them.
    The meanest thing I’ve ever said to someone would have to be when I told someone to get over themselves. I said it because at the time I felt like their problems were much more insignificant than mine. However I instantly realized that their problems weren’t any less important than mine were. In the heat of the moment we both said some pretty stupid things, but luckily we were able to see past it and move on from it and still have a solid friendship till this day.
    If I could go back in time and have a “do over” I wouldn’t. Both of these things have shaped me into the person I am today. They made me a better person because I was able to learn from these mistakes.

  11. The worst thing I have ever done to someone is probably verbally attack them when they've done something to make me upset. If you actually know me, you know I'm always laid back. So if I say something that's out of my character, it's mainly because I was provoked. Certain things are bad to say to any human being and probably no one deserves it and I think I hit that mark. There weren't any consequences of it that were serious to me. The only thing was that we stopped speaking for a few months. I felt better afterwards because it was a bunch of built up frustrations that I had inside of me. I needed to let everything out, but the way I did it wasn't the best way. That's the only reason why I say certain things to people because I keep a lot of things bottled up inside me for a long period of time. This was probably the worst thing I ever said and it's too personal to actually put that information out there. I wouldn't care for a "Do over" because after I apologize, it doesn't matter to me afterwards. I find new people to talk to me and new things to do, so i completely forget about that situation. I do feel wrong for saying terrible things, but she came back to be my friend anyways.

  12. the worst thing i ever did to someone would be disappointing my dad tot he point were he cant even look at. This was the worst because i had the power to not do it and i blatantly disrespected him and did i wanted knowing that he was only looking out for me. the consequence was punishments but, nobody can really punish a 17 year old kid with a schedule. although i was punished a little the feeling that i did wrong would have been the worst punishment. i felt like i didnt even belong in the house hold. the only thing i got out my decision was the pleasure at that moment. after the fact, it was nothing and i realized there was no point. the meanest thing i ever said was i hate you and i said it because i didn't know what else to say or feel. i would do over the thing with my father because i know he felt a type of way about it that will be in his mind forever.

  14. The worst thing I ever did to someone was screenshot the conversation I had with them, send them to my best friend and then have him find out about it. I tell my best friends everything, so the screenshot was sent without even having to think about it. The consequence was me feeling like an asshole because he knew I sent the screenshot, but I didn't get anything out of it and I wasn't expecting to so I guess you could say it wasn't worth it. The meanest thing I ever said to someone was that they acted like a child, and this was to a 20 year old. I said it because he was pissing me off and acting immature, however I knew that he was uneasy about his personality boundary between being funny and child-like. He didn't respond when I said this which was a response within itself because he's very talkative and not responding was a response. I can tell I hurt his feelings. If I could have a "do-over", It would have to be when I told my friend that he acted like a child because that had more of an affect than when I sent a screenshot to my one friend. The person that I screen shotted didn't care that much even though I still felt bad and the conversations stayed the same which showed that he wasn't really affected by it. I would definitely do-over telling my friend that he acted like a child because I didn't really mean it, I just said it out of anger.

  15. The worst thing that I have ever done was tell my brother that I hate him. If you know me then you know I don't hate my brother, he's my best friend. I told him I hated him when I was like 11 when we got into a really heated argument and it just came out, I know I didn't mean it and I'm pretty sure he knew I didn't mean it but the fact that the was my comeback really bothers me looking back on it. Once I said it my brother cried and I realized instantly that I made a huge mistake, I felt so horrible about myself and I just didn't know what to do but go to my room and cry too. My brother and I are so close so to say that right to his face was just a horrible thing to do. If I could go back in time and not tell my brother that than I would, he honestly probably doesn't even remember this but I do so for my own sake I would go back and change that whole situation.

  16. The meanest thing I've done or said to someone was " that's why I have my mom and you don't. " After I said that we fought and I immediately apologized. To this I remember it so vividly but I try my hardest to forget it. But when I said it I was young and angry and had no type of self control. I would never say something like that to anyone now. If I could go back in time I would never say that because he felt so he broken inside after I said that and I don't like making people feel like.

  17. I believe the worst thing I have ever down to someone is give up on them. I am a very emotional person who tends to catch feelings and get attached very quickly whether it be a romantic relationship or a friendship, when I love I love hard. I'm one of those people that invest their all into the things that they love, so if I care about you I will fight for you until the end even when you've done me wrong. My heart just won't allow me to stop loving you despite how hard I might try and convince my self that I have. I was in a relationship for almost four years and it was great, but it was also horrible. I loved this person with all my heart and thought that we'd be together forever but forever was a lot shorter than I thought. We laughed , we cried, and we fought. Constantly. But some how some way we always seemed to bounce back, somehow. But the last fight we had was different, because there was no bounce back , no reconciliation, no laughing it off and going back to usual only empty space filled with awkward silence that was soon replaced with temporary relationships. I gave up on us. The one thing I promised them I'd never do , I did it. I threw in the towel and walked away , I watched the bridges burn and I didn't even attempt to put them out. I gave up and I think that's one of the worst things i have ever done to someone and for that I am sorry. I know I hurt you and I'm sorry. That relationship will never be the same, it's only a distant memory these days. I feel conflicted inside most days , because deep down in my heart I know I still love his person but my mind tells me to stay away. Some days I love them some days I hate them some days and I don't seem to care either way. I guess this is my consequence for walking away and giving up , being left to deal with all these feelings of uncertainty not knowing which way is up and which way is down. However I was able to redefine myself and learn a lot about who I am and who I want to be. That was the reward I got from walking away but someday, most days I wish we could have found ourselves together. You know , how we planned it. If I could go back and change something , I wouldn't . I am also one of those people that believe everything happens for a reason , our relationship evened ugly but it had to have been what was best for the both of us even if it hurt. They have their life now and I have mine , but I want them to know that if they ever need me I'll be there. I'll be there because my heart won't let me not care and I'll be there because I love them. It may not look that way or feel that way but I do. I know I said I didn't care about you , which was the meanest thing I could ever sag considering all that we have been through but I didn't mean it. I didn't care for you at the time but I always cared about you. Even now I don't always agree with your decisions or how you act but I still know you better than anyone and I know you don't do it on purpose. Even when you're acting like an ass and showing off like you don't care that's really just your way I saying your scared and need someone to talk to. I love you

  18. the worst thing I have ever did was be disrespectful to someone so kind. I was really bad at making friends when I was little. I'd always push the people nicest to me away. We were at Sunday Kids church and this one girl was always so nice to me. For no reason I was rude to her. I ignored her and made smart ass comments. Yet every time I would do theses things to her she would won't care. She would just smile and be nice. For three years I was this way towards her. Then I took a step back and realized the asshole I was to her. So about 5 years ago I apologized to her. I told her how sorry and stupid I was for treating her so wrong. She said it was okay and took my apology. I don't know why I was the way I was to her. I know how it feels to be treated like that and I hated it. There was no reward or punishment so got away with being an asshole. If I could go back in time I wish I wasn't that way to her.

  19. Trying to think of the worst thing I’ve ever done to someone is pretty hard to be honest. I like to think of myself as a genuinely nice person but the thing that comes to mind would probably be playing with someones emotions. I feel like playing with someones emotions and giving them false hope is one of the worst things you could do to someone. It messes with a persons outlook on future relationships and it’s just unfair. I’m a very indecisive person and I think just me telling the person that I want to be with them one day and not at all the next, was pretty cruel. The consequences were that I made someone feel like they weren’t good enough and I was classified as a crazy when it came to relationships. A reward that came from this is that when I did this to the person they fought for me the whole time no matter how much shit I put them through. It showed me that they were really ready for the challenge that was being my boyfriend. Even though I played with their emotions and confused them everyday, they still wanted to work things out and love me. The worst thing that I’ve ever said to someone would probably be telling my parents that I hate them. I can’t even imagine my life without my parents because they are my rock. They support me in everything I do and to disrespect them with those words makes me feel like shit. I used to say this during every fight when I was in middle school and a freshman. But, as I have grown up and realized just how much my parents do for me I wish I could take those words back everyday. I don’t think I would take back playing with someones emotions because it ultimately made our relationship stronger in a way. But, my parents don’t deserve the horrible things I’ve said to them when I was younger.

  20. It honestly hurts me to say mean stuff to people. I don't like the way I feel after because I don't like it when people say mean stuff to me. Since I stray away from hurting people this way, the only event that comes to mind is the time I told my brother that I couldn't trust him anymore. There was another family argument. Usually when my parents pin me, my little brother comes to my rescue by defending me and showing my parents that they are wrong. He is the level-headed one and has an easier time controlling his tongue, I however cannot say the same. Because of his calmness, he gets in less trouble than I do. This one incident however, when I came to my brother for help, he turned me away. I was desperate that day and this was probably one of the worst arguments I had with my parents and when he started to side with them and yell at me, it hurt like a knife. After we had all simmered, I told him that I used to trust him but that I no longer do. I used to trust him with all my heart but now I don't. I used to say I would do anything for you even if I knew you were wrong, but now I won't. He was hurt by what I said and we got into an argument where we started spitting cuss words at one another trying to bring each other down. Eventually we reconciled and our relationship carried on unscathed. I don't regret a word that I said because even though at the time it was harsh, my brother truly understood how much he meant to me and I understood how much I meant to him. We both learned from that day and even though it costed us much pain and strife, the outcome was more love and understanding. I know my brother more than I know anyone else and no matter what I say to him, he will always come back to me because that is who he is. When we were kids, he used to always try to hug me and whenever he did I always pushed him away annoyed, regardless, he still sought after my affection. Today, if he ever wishes to hug me, I never refuse because I've learned since then.

  21. I try to think of myself as a good person, so trying to think of the worst thing I’ve ever done to someone f a little difficult for me. However, I would have to say that the worst thing I’ve ever done to someone was talk about them behind their back when they didn’t deserve it. I feel as though this could be the worst thing since I know I would feel disrespected and downright awful if someone did that to me. There was no reward in doing this other than getting the anger I had towards that person off my chest. All that it resulted in was a huge fight filled with drama which then caused more people than necessary to get involved. I sacrificed a friendship which resulted in no friendship at all. The meanest thing I have ever said to someone consisted of four word, “right back at ‘cha”. This doesn’t sound so awful unless you know what was said immediately before. I was arguing with a girl that I wasn’t too close of friend with, but we were nice to each other in passing. During said argument we were basically just going back and forth being disrespectful to each other when she told me that nobody even likes me. (Silly, I know, it was 5th grade) Being so young and not really knowing how to defend myself, I threw the same insult back at her. The fight just kept going on for a little while until we were both too hurt to continue any longer, and we really haven’t spoken much since. If I could have a “do-over”, I would go back and not talk behind the person’s back. They didn’t deserve to be so disrespected and I would tell myself to just vent to a best friend instead of humiliating said person.

  22. The worst think I have ever done to someone is to use a flaw against them. To use the worst part I know about them and what they know about themselves to my advantage. Knowing that someone has self esteem issues and putting them down more. I try and justify my "attacks" because they need a reality check with their own ego, but still, never use someone else's personal problems to your advantage. The consequences where that their ego went down but so did they. They're sense of self dropped and our friendship crumbled. With Person A (we can call him Chad) we are now just acquaintances because of this. It's both of our faults but more so mine because I used Chad's issues against himself. And now Chad has trust issues. I thought I was being socially clever because the ego of this kid was so enormous it annoyed everyone in the workplace. But it wasn't the right route to take. The consequences were not worth it because of the pain I caused to him. I can't go back and change it, what's done is done. I'v gotten over it.

    The I can't remember the meanest thing I've ever said. I'm going to safely assume it was to Chad, because the things I said to him to use against him were personal and I would like to keep it private. I said those things to bring him back to earth but there is a difference between that and shooting them down all together. I don't know my own strength when it comes to words sometimes. I'm trying to be more self aware of what comes out of my mouth.

    If I could go back and have a do over. I wouldn't. Because today Chad is still the same egoistic person. He hasn't changed even after what I said to him. A sign of lo self esteem is ego in most cases. So I just put gas on the fire and made it worse. I barely talk to Chad now, only when I need to. I try not to associate myself with him and just keep my mouth shut. That's my honest story.

  23. The worst thing that I have ever done to someone is grow tired of them. There was this lovely boy who treated me wonderfully but we never too forever serious. Someone new and exciting came along and I started the drift. The most cowardly way to possibly leave someone. I don’t know how to not do it because it is wrong and the person being drifted out of my life doesn’t deserve to have their time wasted. If I could end it with someone when I knew there was no fixing the problem, I would have saved so much time in so many different relationships in my lifetime and it’s hard to admit but it is all my fault. I answered this blog late because I had been trying to think of the right way to word this since it was first posted. This is actually the third draft of it and hopefully I don’t sound like a complete asshole by the end of it. I don’t like to hurt peoples feelings but in doing so I disconnect myself from them emotionally and after I convince myself that I’m over them, being around whoever it may be becomes painful. Every relationship I have been has ended because of my inability to be happy without the chase. The chase is when you’re working to get to be with someone and that is the most fun part right after the all wonderful honeymoon phase. I’m just going to blame this one on my frontal lobe not being totally developed yet and that I’ll grow out of it by the time I decide to be a big girl. The reward to this is technically not ever being called a heart breaker because I always let the relationship crumble until it seems like a good idea for us both to go our separate ways. Last year in the beginning of my fighting days with my lil blondie, we were sitting at my kitchen table with my whole family and he said something I didn’t like and I accused him of always being in my house and just eating all my food and the way I said it and worded it in front of my parents and Connor was just way too hurtful than necessary. I will forever feel bad for making a fool of him and our relationship in the usually safe walls of my kitchen. If I were to go back and do over anything in my time I may take back that heartbreaking fight but if I were to change how I was in the past I may not have met some of the lovely that I have come in contact with. I wouldn’t trade my relationship for the world with some people who are still there to talk to me every night despite my actions back when I made silly(stupid) decisions. Who knows, maybe I’m way too obvious with describing the people in this or maybe no one cares at all. I just know I am where I am because of my mistakes and as long as I acknowledge them as mistakes it’s not wrong to not regret doing them all together. Sorry I’m late and I suck!!!

  24. The worst thing I've ever done to someone is not been there for them when they needed me. The consequences for this were losing self-respect and a friend. This definitely wasn't worth it to me, because I hurt someone, and I was hurt in the process as well. The meanest thing I've ever said to someone was when I called a girl I am friendly with a "slut" because she had sex with a guy I didn't think would be a good person to do that with. She got pissed but eventually got over it, we are friends now so it wasn't too bad. I would have been there for my friend if given the chance however, I feel like this is more important, because he is going down a bad path and sometimes I blame myself.

  26. The worst thing I did was lie to my parents. I felt terrible because I'm suppose to always be honest and tell the truth. It's just some stuff u can't discuss with your parents. Consequences was not being able to do what I want to do without being questioned who's going to be there ? What time I'm coming back home and who's driving? Also gain trust back was another consequences once your parents aren't by your side u don't have no one to go to when your down or just need to get something off your chest. The worst thing I said to my parents was I hate this house I can't wait to leave . My mom was so hurt by those words ,she's out here working hard to make sure I have food and clothes and all the stuff I want. She was so heart broken and didn't get me anything for a few weeks. The consequences was my mother and I losing our bond . The outcome was I need to be grateful and be thankful for the things I have because theirs someone out there pray for the life I have . If God gave me the chance to do everything over I wouldn't because it made me realize I'm lucky and bless that I have both parents and they're always there and never let me down no matter what we going through the will always be there to pick me up.

  27. The meanest thing I have ever done to someone is also the same thing I've ever said to someone. When I was 12 years old probably up to maybe 15 years old I disrespected my mom badly. The things I said to her might not be bad to some people but it hurts me a lot when I think about it. I remember one morning before school she was annoying me so I yelled at her to stfu and I cringe at the thought of me saying that to my mom. I also remember I was getting picked on for wearing the same shoes and wearing Walmart clothes so I yelled at my mom and blamed her for having a job at Walmart. She ended up buying me some nice new Jordan's from footlocker but I didn't want them since they weren't Air Force ones. I was so ungrateful and I wish I could go back and not say the things i did. I wouldn't want my child to disrespect me how I disrespected her. My biggest fear is losing my mom and her not forgiving me. I love her a lot and hope she'll forgive me one day.

  28. The worst thing I have ever done to someone is stole $50. I consider this the worst because I hate stealing and they had to work for that money, and all I did was just take it. The only reason I did this was because my mom kicked me out and I've been sleeping in a hotel parking lot for a couple days and I was hungry. I know it was really bad but it was worth it because I got to eat after not eating for 2 days. I called a girl a cunt which is the worst thing I ever called someone. She said something about my mom not loving me after I haven't seen my mom in 6 years and the word just slipped out. She didn't talk to me for a couple weeks. If I could go back, I would have found my own way to eat and not steal from someone

  29. The worst thing I've ever done to someone is call them a slut for cheating on me. I really don't know what else to say here

  30. The worst thing I've have ever done to someone is grow tired of them and want less from them. It hurt me so much because I knew how this person thought of me and how much I meant to them. From the beginning this person and I both had the same feelings for each other but later on I grew into wanting to just be friends. I had the feelings for a while but kept them locked inside of me. I did that because I was afraid of a breaking a heart that I could no longer love. I wouldn't say I regret being with her for the time that I was but I regret making her cry or anything that I did that had a negative effect on her.
