Being Blamed for something you didn't do!

Have you ever felt that you were blamed for something that you said to an elder about having your feelings hurt, and the other adults blaming it on you for telling and making a big deal and having to apologize to them because you said that your feelings were hurt. What would you do?

I wouldn't apologize for sharing my feelings.

I'm great at apologizing and not meaning it. Go with that: it leads to an easier life and you might just find that throughout life there are times when you'll end up reflecting that sometimes keeping your opinions and feelings to yourself is a better idea that sharing them with people you should probably not share them with at that time.

Tip: people are assholes.

the above two posts have valid points, but i have to disagree. it really depends on the nature of the situation. if it's something dumb that doesn't really matter, sure, just make nice and move on. but don't lose your integrity. small things build up to larger ones.

salman rushdie gave a great speech for the commencement address at bard college. he talked about a couple of incidents that happened on his graduation day. they all involved injustice of some sort. in the end, he said that the most important thing he learned at college he learned on his graduation day. he says: do not stand for injustice, no matter how small. do not beg for what is rightfully yours. do not bow down.

it's up to you to judge the gravity of your own situation - i just hope you keep this in mind. don't play by the rules simply to make things easier.

No, I do mean the BIG things too. I'm a great believer in that wonderful cold dish we call vengeance.
