Just A Joke It Was!
Here’s another diary entry of the ordinary girl. Lets read it together..
| Dear Diary, I never knew a little joke can hurt anyone so much! Its better I stay quiet from now on, because whenever I open my mouth, the words seem to hurt someone or the other! (ok, may be I am exaggerating, or may I am that bad?) I miss the polite and the sweeter version of me. I wonder what happened to her! But this is what happening these days. This what happened today also. A little joke went bad. ‘Just Kidding’ didn’t work out either! But seriously I had not meant it seriously. I was just a joke! May be they say it right- There is a little truth behind every just kidding’. So does that mean I should also start taking each joke seriously and start analyzing it? This is just not done. May be I’m only overreacting and making it worse by overthinking. Someone has said it right when you cant find a solution to anything don’t think about it just sleep over it and next day things will smooth out themselves. Well that’s the advice I am thinking to follow now. I think a tub of chocolate ice-cream with my favorite movie before the sleep will help me keep my mind calm and prevent me from mulling over the things that can’t be undone.

Has it happened with you too, that a joke have gone wrong and you landed up in the situation you never wanted to be in?

Checking in on fellow writers on the 10th day of the #atoz challenge. Love the diary template you are using. First I’ve seen. Appreciate the time and talent it takes to give your readers something worthwhile. If you have time or interest, I’m writing about gardens and related topics this month. Stop by.
Thanks for the appreciation, it always encourages one to do more. .. Will surely drop by yours ASAP!
I know, words can be too dangerous at times! Lovely post again.
Thanks Shalini 🙂
this is true nibha! evn i hav experienced this.. i jst mean it as a joke bt i had been labelled as rude!
I know, it hurts bad then!
I think that is the best decision- sleep over it. Nothing will come from sorting it out in the heat of the moment. Come from a space of peace and not anger, when dealing with issues. Helps me tremendously!
~Shailaja’s latest A~Z post
Yup, Thanks for the suggestion Shailaja 🙂
I think words are the most potent weapons. They can really make or mar the situation. Don’t worry, everyone goes through it once in a while.
Ya, I think so.. Thanks for the visit 🙂
Love the entry…chill, one needs to take a joke in the right spirit and not think too much bout it..like Alok Nath Baba ki Jai Ho:)
Hehe!! Thanks 🙂
O yes, that happens to all of us at one time or another. A joke gone wrong. I missed one or two entries from this ordinary girl’s diary, but I am glad I read this page today because it deals with a sensitive issue. Nice post!

Thanks beloo 😛
I have hurt those close to me unintentionally at times. I think if we apologize sincerely people forgive us even though we ourselves aren’t so forgiving of our mistakes.
yes, self-forgiveness is also so important!
yes, this does happen with all…recovering them back is tough in those situations.
I know, sometimes it do take time :/
Hope you will get a chance to see my blogs :-)…
I surely will, just a matter of few more days!
Ah yes, you never know when a little joke goes too bad and then things just get overblown. Some people never know how to take jokes in the right spirit no?
exactly! and these are the same people who will keep throwing jokes on you. . 🙁
Like they say once the words are out they can’t be taken back even if we are sorry for it…The hurt sometimes lingers on…

yup and it hurts a lot!
Oh I definitely have had jokes backfire on me. There is nothing more awkward than that “ground swallow me up!” moment.
And the worst thing is that once words are out, there is no taking them away again….Great post!

Just kidding is the post irritating phrase ever!! Indeed jokes are something that shouldn’t hurt others in any way!

Smile, it makes (y)our day!
but it does!! 🙁
Oh yes, it happens to most of us, some jokes really go bad!! Dont be so harsh on yourself, forgive yourself. And a sincere apology always works! 🙂
I hope it does!! 🙂
Sometimes jokes hurt specially if you touch a sensitive point. Very honest post today 🙂
Thanks Rajlakshmi 🙂
true true it does take a while to get the humour of another, may be that happened here too!

Yah may be… may be not!!
It does happen and this happened quite recently to me actually. I thought I cracked a harmless joke n the other person felt bad n told me so n I said sorry. All okay. 🙂
That’s good.. but sometimes people don’t even consider an apology!
may be they will just sleep and wake up to realize how they reacted with just a joke… you don’t worry, chill… 🙂
I hope so!! Thanks for the visit Amrit! 🙂
Happens here too sometimes. But I have learned not to react on their jokes who act overly-sensitive!!!
Nice idea, should take it up! Thanks 🙂
Oh, this keeps happening to all of us. Don’t worry !! 80 % of the time, they are just jokes !
Yah.. but there is truth at times! 😛
