Hi... I’m Oopsie Squashy.
Sometimes when I make a mistake or blurt something out in the heat of the moment,
I end up feeling really regretful, scared that I’ve upset you — or that you won’t want to talk to me anymore.
I keep thinking over and over: “If only I hadn’t said that…”
It’s not that I don’t care — it’s that I care too much.
Because I truly value your feelings, I feel this intense guilt.
🔶 1. You don’t have to forgive me right away, but please hear me out.
I understand that some mistakes take time to heal.
But if you're willing to listen to my explanation, it already means so much to me.
✅ Your willingness to listen shows me you still trust me.
🔶 2. When I say “I’m sorry,” I’m not trying to avoid things — I’m trying to face them.
I don’t say sorry just to move on quickly or pretend nothing happened.
I say it because I genuinely want to understand your hurt and fix things together.
✅ You can ask me, “What made you react that way?” — and I’ll answer honestly.
🔶 3. Sometimes I’m already being really hard on myself — please don’t add more pressure.
Guilt already makes me feel awful inside.
If you say, “I know you’re reflecting on this — you don’t need to keep punishing yourself,”
✅ I’ll feel like I’m not just wrong, but still worthy of another chance.
🔶 4. Help me shift from self-blame to growth.
You can ask me:
“What did this experience help you realize?”
“How would you handle it differently next time?”
✅ These questions aren’t about blaming — they’re gentle steps to help me move forward.
“You’ve already taken the first step — you realized your mistake.”
“You don’t have to be perfect. As long as you’re willing to make things right, I’m willing to listen.”
