My Rule #1
Don't drink when you feel tired. You think you're a comedian.
Yeah, all the time. I almost never try to be intentionally mean to people, I just say things that would definitely not offend me. Well, turns out, my not-offensive-things are not the same as people's not-offensive-things. I'm still trying to figure out the logic behind it.
Does your non-intentional lack of etiquette makes you upset due to your preoccupation with what others think of you? Or does it bothers you because you want to make sure you aren't hurting anyone? In either case, you only waste precious time and attention when you try to focous on this. Try to detach from your feelings in said situation. You chose wrongly, or you wouldn’t be in the situation; that’s why you have a "price to pay" (in your head).
Observe yourself as you are, not as you say or think you are. If you are not being socially competent in one circumstance, analyze why. Remember: the "price to pay" for doing something wrong in these kinds of situations is only real on your head.
I know I've offended people and made people uncomfortable, but I'm usually just quiet - most things I say are in my head and remain there.
What do you mean? There are millions of people out there in the world; you have a lot more to choose from than just what you see in front of you now.Unless what you say or do alienates friends, lovers, acquaintances, etc then the price is real. Unless I misunderstood what you're saying.

Well, that's relative. I probably just misjudged what kind of "price" you consider relevant, and for that i'm sorry.That's not relevant if I read it correctly that you said the "price" is "imaginary". The fact that you're pointing out replacements admits there was a real loss to be replaced.
