Foot in Mouth Syndrome? 4 Ways to Gracefully Recover and Feel Better
When we are angry, we tend to blow things out of proportion. We get upset about things that wouldn't bother us in a normal situation.
At that moment, the things that irritate us seem more important than everything else.
You temporarily lose your sense of judgment.
Words come out of your mouth before your mind can process their potential consequences.
You end up saying things you wish you had not said.
What follows is the guilt of knowing you have deeply hurt another person. So how do you resolve things and make the situation right?
Why You’re Not ‘Too Much’: Tackling the Fear of Being Unlovable
Insecurity in relationships can feel like a constant battle against an invisible enemy.
Maybe you’ve sent a text, only to reread it a dozen times, dissecting every word and emoji.
Or perhaps you’ve opened up about your feelings, only to spend the next three hours second-guessing yourself.
You might even tell yourself, “I’m too much. I’ll scare them away.”
But here’s the truth: You are not too much. You’re human. And being human means you have feelings, needs, and—yes—a desire to connect…
One Positive Action
“Pay it Forward” Book:
A “pay it forward” book is more than just a story; it’s an invitation to connect with someone you’ll likely never meet. When you take the time to write your name and a kind note inside the cover, it becomes a gift that feels personal, even in its anonymity. It’s like saying, “Hey, this book meant something to me, and I hope it means something to you too.”
The act itself is simple. Pick a book that resonated with you: a novel that stayed with you long after you finished it, or a self-help book that gave you a little clarity when you needed it most. Write a short, thoughtful note. It doesn’t have to be deep or poetic. Maybe it’s about why you loved the book or how it helped you see the world differently. Then leave it in a public spot: a park bench, a bus stop, or a café. The idea is to let someone stumble upon it and feel like they’ve discovered a small treasure.
The beauty of this gesture is that it’s completely open-ended. You don’t know who will find it or how they’ll respond, but that’s part of the charm. Maybe it will brighten their day, or maybe it will sit on their shelf for a year before they finally open it. Either way, you’ve planted a seed of kindness, and that’s never wasted. It’s a quiet reminder that generosity doesn’t always need an audience.
Maybe the person who finds your book will be inspired to pass it on, or they’ll leave their own book behind someday. A small action like this has the potential to ripple outward, connecting people in unexpected and meaningful ways. All from something as simple as a shared story.
