Feelings/Emotions, these nouns refer to complex and usually strong subjective human response. Although feeling and emotion are sometimes interchangeable, the one thing that is for certain, Everyone has them. The true challenge is how we understand and deal with our own feelings. At best an ongoing learning process for the majority of us. Yet these feelings are what also direct us in our actions toward others.
Every day we make decisions based on past experiences that effect others in the work place as well as in our personal lives. It is these experiences that our emotions(feelings) draw upon. We, as individuals, interpret our feelings and make our decisions. The universal question should be each time, is it the correct action?
I just learned that how I felt best to deal with an issue involving a friend was exactly the opposite that I should have done. It was my delayed action, due to my past experiences, that actually upset and hurt the feelings of this friend. Would I have done it differently, most likely not. But only because of my own experiences and feelings that govern my actions. Never to intentionally hurt someone. So how do you avoid hurting someone’s feelings?
If I had the answer to that question, I would not be sitting here typing this article.
I can only attempt to express my deepest regret and hope my friend understands that my actions were in no way ever to hurt their feelings or upset them. Learning this only reinforced the issue that I still need to work on my own feelings and try to understand them to make sure I don’t incidentally hurt someone else’s feelings.
Yes, I can sit here and type that I will do better, but we all know, eventually, I will inadvertently hurt someone’s feelings. When dealing with human beings, you never know what may truly hurt someone’s feelings. What seems right to you, may have a negative effect. It just proves we all need to attempt to treat each other as fairly and openly as possible.
Hope my friend will eventually understand and accept my deepest apology.
