Yes, I have responded to a statement or question in a mean-spirited way. Everyone makes mistakes, and it is important for us to practice kindness even when we are upset or feeling frustrated. Taking a few deep breaths can help put things into perspective, and sometimes it's even useful to just take a break and come back later with a better frame of mind. Practicing self-compassion helps too – understanding that we all make mistakes but that we are worthwhile anyway.

Yes, I have. In my youth, I would often reply to questions and comments in a manner that was designed to be hurtful or sarcastic rather than engaging the topic sincerely. Now, as an adult, I can recognize when someone is attempting to initiate a conversation or have a meaningful exchange with me and choose instead to respond thoughtfully and compassionately.
