sending an email confronting someone, bad decision?

<p>kind of emotional, somewhat angry about this person. Known her for a long time. She always says what she wants to say. Never listens. Always feeling like she is perfect. A conversation with her is like a mind game. Want to give her a piece of my mind.</p>

<p>Should I press the send button?</p>

<p>Save it as a draft. Sleep on it. If you still want to send it in the morning then hit send. You might find that just putting you feelings in writing was all you needed.</p>

<p>You’ll regret it… I’ve gone through this many times in my life. So many times that I’ve come to the point where I tell myself this:</p>

<p>If I have to consider whether it is wrong or right to send a message, don’t send it.</p>

<p>Either way, sleep on it. But e-mail confrontation is never the way to go, in my opinion.</p>

<p>You only live once, right? </p>

<p>On a serious note, it doesn’t seem worth it (from my POV). Just forget about him/her and move on with your life.</p>

<p>Write it all out, wait until you are calmer before actually sending it. Or you will likely regret it. Always do this with angry emails, letters, exchanges, etc.</p>

<p>I once read that you should never send an email when your eyeballs are hot. doesn’t make sense and makes me laugh. DON:T send it - wait at least 24 hours. Don’t show it to anyone else during that 24 hours. Then show it to someone else. If you still want to send it, then get rid of “always” “never” and as many “You” sentences as possible. Stick to “I” statements. Basic rules of disagreement.</p>

<p>Never put anything on writing that might come back to bite you in the butt. In other words, if you would not want to see it posted on a bulletin board (published in the paper, appearing on some TV talk show), don’t put it in writing. Once it is in writing, you can’t take it back (or deny it).</p>

<p>When i was in England this summer, there was a case of a mother in law to be who sent her daughter in law to be a nastygram about her manners. DIL forwarded it to friends, next thing it went viral. MIL looked like an ass.</p>

<p>No. Do NOT send it. You’ll regret it for the rest of your life.</p>

<p>Confront her in person and tell her exactly what you want to write in that e-mail and then get ready for a brawl.</p>

<p>I’m going to be in the minority when I say this, but I feel that you should send it (depending on what’s mentioned obviously) but it’s good to vent your emotions. As long as you’re not cursing her out in the email and the email brings up issues you have with her, I think it’s all good. Friends fight and break up. And if you guys are meant to be friends, after this altercation, you will still be friends.</p>

<p>Me and my best friend had a fight in HS. I wrote her an email venting how I felt at the time and the issues I had with her and to this day we’re still friends. I’m glad I did it because we both didn’t know the issues we brought up to each other was bothering us so much. It can be a healthy thing.</p>

<p>You can accomplish everything more efficiently and effectively in person, than through e-mail. Don’t do it.</p>

<p>Email is for business, not for emotions.</p>

<p>If you’re going to send an email, it’s best advised that you limit it to setting a time to meet up and discuss. Otherwise, the words will almost always be interpreted in the worst way possible.</p>

<p>Don’t send it. Read it over and remember the main points, then confront the person. Honestly you never want anything like this in writing cause it could easily come back to bite you.</p>

<p>no don’t do it. FTW</p>

<p>I did it.</p>

<p>There was no cursing. There was a rumor about me, and I confronted her about that. In the end, I said that I don’t want to be associated with her anymore. I’m done.</p>

<p>I don’t think I’ll ever regret losing her “friendship”.</p>

<p>It feels good. Even a day after, I still feel that it was a good idea sending that to her because if I talk to her in person, I know she won’t hear it, or lie about it or try to avoid the issue!</p>
