Every word you use you choose. Unless you have a medical condition and can't control yourself . Do you ever regret your choices? Why?

Never. I don't regret any words because I'm like a carpenter, I measure twice, cut once.

I believe that your "Every word you use you choose" premise is incorrect; people misspeak all the time. Well, imperfect people misspeak, that is. (Hey, wait a minute . . . )

Yes. I have low self esteem and always question what i say.

Sure. Heaps of times.

I reread what I wrote. Verbose. Clumsy.

Not enough heart.

or,

In the heat of emotion, I forget what I should know better.

Say what I shouldn't and hurt someone I love.

Then I have to find the way to patch up the damage,

find the words that work with truth but not pain.

In other words, 100% human.

Thank you for your reply BSurf.

I don't do that hartfire. The person I am at the time ..the knowledge I have or lack thereof...the subject matter and its importance or lack thereof. All of these are constantly changing. At the time if you are honest and are not attacking/insulting/denigrating  someone then what is there to regret? At some future time when you are not the same person you were you might have expressed yourself in a different way. But regret? I think the authenticity of whom you were at the time should be enough.  You might subsequently have learned more and changed your mind. But you cannot know that at the time.  If you purposely try to harm someone that is always regrettable. Or should be. But otherwise I think regret is useless and wastes emotion. It changes nothing. Just my opinion. Thank you for your repl! :)
