I screwed up

[Lennonism]

Well, I sent my friend a message on MySpace that was nothing but a bunch of As (aaaaaaaaaaaa) as sort of a joke, and my friend apparently didn't take it too well, and called me an asshole. So I got pissed off, and sent them back a message that said "Lower class" to remind them that they were trailer trash.

Now I'm really regretting. Everytime someone insults me, I get enraged and just fly off the handle. I say stuff that's mean. I'm not really concerned about our friendship since she's just a bitch anyway, I'm mostly afraid that her BF might beat me up or something. Sounds really selfish, I know, but what can I say? I don't want to get beat up.

Advice, please?

Try apologizing to her-
Say your sorry, and you didn't mean it. You were just playing around.

[Nihilus]

Go apologize. Tell her it was meant as a joke. Tell her you are extremely sorry and that you don't want it to interfer with your friendship. I hope all goes well.

There are a couple of issues going on here, and you need to think about them when you try to apologize to this girl:

Friendship

If you did not particularly value this girl's friendship in the first place and thought of her as a "bitch," then you really should not have tried to joke around with her in the first place with her being so sensitive. Also, I question why you would even communicate with such a person if you do not particularly like her as a person.

Anger

What you need to do in the future is when you get angry you need to stop yourself from immediately responding and to take a few minutes to think about your actions. Especially since you were online you could have taken a few minutes to walk away and to think about an appropriate rebuttal to your friend's words. You need to think from the other person's perspective and see if their reaction was justified in anyway. Basically, think before you act, and when you do act make sure it is not excessive. Making fun of your friend's financial situation is hitting below the belt and really is not appropriate no matter how mad she made you. All because someone insults you does not mean that you have to immediately react with harsh words. Sometimes silence can be golden.

Apology

Your apology has to be genuine and not made just because you are afraid her boyfriend will beat you up. Simply tell your friend what you told us that when folks insult you that you sometimes overeact and say things that should not be said. Tell her that you made a terrible error and that while you cannot turn back time that you want to make up for what you had said. You basically have to make it clear that you are not a better person than her and that one's financial status does not make one better or worse than another person. In light of your calling the girl trailer trash it will be hardly surprising if she shares some choice words with you. If this girl tears you apart, then you will simply have to take it as you did insult her quite badly.

Just say sorry, thats all you can do. Buy the person a gift and apologize.

Wow, dude.
So you don't really want to apologize, you just want to cover your ass.

First Off, grow up.
Second, if you can dish it out you need to be able to take the consequences.

Personally, I hope the BF comes after you.

Be a nicer person and walk away from confrontations if you know you are going to be a complete arsehole.

Karma babe. What goes around Comes around. I have no advice for you other than stop being so mean and think about stuff before you do it.
