Has there been a time when you've said yes to doing/promising something you later wish you hadn't?

Yes, and because I always try to stick to what I say, I went ahead and forced myself to do what I had promised. Once I was there, and in the middle of my kept promise-I realized it wasn't so bad, and I was helping someone out that needed my help.

At the end of the day, I felt happy and as though I did good for someone else, and the feeling of 'I wish I hadn't of said yes to this' was gone. I also think if I would have backed out and not kept the promise, I would still feel guilty today for breaking my word.

I have to be careful of that. Because sometimes things sound good and then the day comes and I don't feel good, or wish I could stay home. I try to honor my commitments but I have cancelled on occasion.

Yes. I did that about ten minutes ago and now I wish I hadn't lol. Unfortunately it is something I MUST do, so I'll do it and make that person happy.

I have done something where I attempted to help someone, but found out it was not to my advantage and I was being used. Even though I feel bad for never showing back up or calling, I know it was the right thing to do for me personally.

On many occasions, people are evil and manipulate you :( lol.

I do it all the time. Sometimes I mean to say a No and a Yes comes out of my mouth and it's too late to take it back. I feel like killing myself.

I usualy keep my word, but once a relative asked for money, I said yes and while I was pronouncing the word, I was already regretful. I told him my husband wasn't ok with it and that I couldn't lend him money.

Lately I'm training myself not to make that same mistake.

Really nice answers, y'all. Thank you so much for commenting - was really interesting to read your replies.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
