text: My last point is, talking to different people can prevent you from saying something you might regret. For example, in the story above, talking to two people would've stopped Generic_Name from calling Generic_Name those mean names. Secondly, people could take the mean things you say to heart and feel very offended. In fact, they could feel so upset that they start believe the things you said in spur of the moment. Finally, you could be saying all these mean things just because you are angry. In fact, 87% of things said in arguments aren't true, they just come from the anger in the moment. Therefore, you could just be angry at what this person did, so you say everything that is on your mind, instead of stepping away and biting your tongue.
