Why do people say Hurtful Words

hurtful words are such that pierce the heart and weigh the soul.” 
― Richelle E. Goodrich,

Have you been hurt countless times when your loved ones lashed harsh and hurtful words at you?

Those hurtful words that people had lashed out at you could not be taken back as the Chinese old saying:

You can eat wrong food but you can’t say wrong words and you have to face the consequences

This means when you consume unhealthy food, you may have experience diarrhea but once you had uttered hurtful words at your loved ones or the people you know, your words cannot be taken back.

Once spoken, you are unlikely to be forgiven if your words hurt deep down inside his heart.

 

My experience

I believe that many of us had encountered countless of arguments where hurtful words are lashed out in business deals, friends and family members misunderstanding.

Words lashing also occurs in negotiating situation when the deal turned awry.

Once, I was deeply hurt when my younger brother had lost his temper and started to lash out at me over my mom’s stroke problem which was overwhelming for him to bear.

My dad was hurt with his hurtful words, so was I.

I was there to help him but ended up hurt when he uttered those hurtful words that made me felt useless and unappropriated.

He wasn’t sorry about it and still insisted that he was right all along.

Superior attitude

The person who had uttered hurtful words had the misconception that he had the “right authority ” and superior attitude to say what he wanted even though he doesn’t mean it at all.

He is often careless with the usage of words that he had hurt his loved ones including his own parents, siblings, spouse and his own children. 

Being an older adult who is often looked up as a role model or the bread winner of the household, he had to consider the feelings of his younger siblings, family members and children.

The misused of “superior attitude” had frequently turned things ugly when one loses his temper without logical reasons.

Those unreasonable words and ugly phrases used, brought the victims shocked and dumbfounded.

Feelings are hurt definitely, quarrels occurred and relationship are shaken with mistrust and misunderstanding.

That is how a tragedy of broken relationship happened in a family.

Reasons for saying hurtful words

#1 – A ticking BOMB

You will never know when a ticking bomb is going to explode because you can’t control over it.

Same goes with the temper of a person who had been :

  1. pressured with work load at the office,
  2. deadlines of projects to accomplish
  3. sales demand by superior or the BOSS
  4. disappointed by his own failures

It is a ticking bomb that may explode anytime when he is at home.

Strangely, the person can put up a smile, shows his courtesy when he meets potential customers, strangers, his superior and his own BOSS.

However when he is back home, he is extremely mean to his loved ones, especially his own parents, spouse and kids.

 

 

#2 – Stress

It is common for each person to experience stress at work when you are given work to do before deadline.

  1. Monthly goal expectation from your BOSS who is demanding without negotiation would drive anyone CRAZY!
  2. Cost of living is high, unable to pay bills.
  3. Petrol price had hiked up, company doesn’t reimburse it
  4. Education fees are rising each year
  5. Household expenses ( grocery, utility bills), isn’t saving money

You will find it difficult to cope with the stress and pressure that you had to let it off your temper from your chest.

These are the reasons why hurtful words are the results of a ticking bomb held in a stressful person would explode anytime.

    • It is not acceptable for me to let other people say hurtful words against me. This can be done with extra care. There should be a perfect venue to give constructive criticism but beyond that, it is not acceptable acts. I had worked with so many people and deal with their different personalities.

      In some instances, if you acted professionalism with the other colleagues. They will not attempt to hurt your feelings because it is done in the proper way. I don't also agree if they claimed that he or she is under the spell of stress. All the people involved under such stress. It is not an excuse because the slip of the tongue.

      Now, I realized that some companies require having their applicants who can work under pressure. They had anticipated that the working environment tends of dealing with stressors and demand of work requirements. I hope that we can still conceal our feelings and acted the way a person should be in professionalism sense.
