If you believe you made a grievous error, then try to fix it. Call the woman you pissed off and try to make amends. She may well come away having more respect for you, once you demonstrate that you can change your mind, care for others' feelings, swallow your pride, learn from your errors, be vulnerable, and admit your mistakes. If you can pull that off, you are anything but an evolutionary dead-end.
There's plenty of folks who can't accomplish any one of those things, after a lifetime of practicing endless bitterness and resentment. So don't let your remorse slowly twist itself into shame and recrimination. Go public with your remorse, and watch as the world around you and the people in it transform beyond your wildest of dreams.
