Open mouth, insert foot.

OMG, why is it that the filter between your brain and mouth doesn't always work? I totally embarrassed myself last night and made pretty much everyone in the room feel awkward. I feel so horrible about it now, but I honestly didn't realize how inappropriate what I was saying was until it's too late. Also, raxhel didn't help, she was sitting right there and didn't stop me. She could have kicked me or something! And god, I don't really know how to fix it, because any apology I might try and make would just make things even *more* awkward! :S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S

Oh, I hate it when I get in awkward situations like that. Apologizing seems like the smart thing to do, but in my experience, just pretending it never happened until it finally blows over has always worked out better.

Yeah, I know; I'm such a wimp.

The thing is, I said a certain situation I was once in was creepy but the situation I mentioned was very close to the situation my friend is currently in and she's been getting a lot of problems because everyone finds it creepy (her sister won't even talk to her). If I tried to apologize it would probably just make things worse because... while what I said implicated her situation as creepy, acknowledging that link would be outright implying that her situation is creepy. And even if I said that I don't find her situation creepy, 1. I'd be lying. and 2. I think it would just emphasize the fact that other people do.
Really I should have just kept my mouth shut, but as I said, I didn't really make the connection between what I was saying and her situation until it was out of my mouth. :S
