Ever have one of those moments where you think to yourself, "Oh crap, that was stupid," or "I was an idiot for doing that!"? I'm confident to say that everyone has gone through that moment of realization you had just messed up big time. If you are one of the prideful few who deny this, then just wait. This moment is coming for you.
Here are five signs everyone goes through right before they realize they messed up at life:
1. Your friends don't agree with your "advice"
You are having a late-night talk with your girlfriends about the guy you like. You tell them, "It's okay to start 'talking' to him, right?" When all your friends don't say a word or only mumble a response then you know something is wrong.
2. Nothing goes according to plan
After you start talking to that guy, the conversations don't go according to plan. He starts talking about strange or inappropriate subjects. You thought the guy was a gentleman, but by your conversations he is the exact opposite.
3. You have to help create the reality in your head
Since nothing is going according to your plan, you have to nudge the conversation, situation, or action to go in the route you want it to. You have to direct the conversation to where you want it to go, or you have to instigate hanging out with the guy you like.
4. You get butterflies in your stomach but not the good kind
Ever had a serious case of butterflies? Yeah, well when you think of being with the guy you have them, but for some reason you also have a bad feeling about the upcoming situation. You're excited to see him but also want to stay far away from him.
5. All hell breaks loose
That moment when you finally step back from the situation you find yourself and realize that life did not go the way you wanted it to. All hell broke loose even though you tried your best to control the situation. You wonder, "What the heck was I doing way back when this all started?" Then you get that sinking feeling that even though you thought you were doing a good thing, you actually just made matters worse. Now you have to fix everything you thought would do good, and you're secretly wanting to just go crawl up in a hole and cry. The realization sucks because all the effort you put into making your life great was an epic fail.
