Dealing With A Situation

[KevinMao133]

Last couple of days I been complaining too much, due to a camping trip

I wasn’t looking forward to going but something changed today, as I decided maybe I needed a break after all

I had a change of mind and I feel terrible about it due to the fact that I have been complaining a lot, this completes goes against everything I believe

As a non complainer/ doer, I feel like I haven’t been myself the last couple of days

Anyways, how do I recover from this? I feel like damage has been done and I created false expectations for both myself and others

Still have a hard time handling negative emotions, though I have gotten a lot better

Cramping and backtracking is how I used to describe camping and backpacking, and I did a lot of it in my youth. Don't worry about complaining on the trip. People have short memories and probably have already forgotten about it already.

In my experience, an apology is a low-risk way to bring up past mistakes.

"Hey, I'm sorry that I was so negative before the camping trip. Sometimes I just automatically go to a negative place when I don't mean to. I'm trying to get better about that, but I goofed this time."

As long as people can see that you are genuinely trying to do better, they will often be very forgiving.

This is so on point. I’m laughing

Thanks

It takes practice not to be too negative. It might never totally go away, but just keep trying. Looking for hobbies you love and focusing on things that can be helpful to you such as therapy and exercise can help minimize undue negativity.
