AITA for accidentally breaking a stranger’s glass cup and running off?

I’m in senior highschool and currently, there’s a sports intramurals for the junior highschool students. I was passing through a long entrance where cars usually go and a group of junior highschool students were playing volleyball. And then, the volleyball tumbled out by me.

At first, I kicked it lightly and tumbled forward, not where I wanted it to go. Then I tried lightly kicking it again, only for me to miscalculate and accidentally hit someone’s GLASS tumbler on the other side of the little road (I didn’t see it at first because of my poor eyesight. My glasses are yet to be fixed).

I know I shouldn’t have kicked the ball. I know my mistake there.

Then, like an idiot, I awkwardly went back to our room out of embarrassment and guilt. I wanted to go back and apologize against the floor and beg their forgiveness, but what was worse was that they were complete strangers.

I just broke someone’s tumbler with a volleyball.

I feel horrible.

I don’t know who they are and what they looked like so not a lot of chances for me to recognize them in a big school.

So my dreaded question, is this my jerkwad moment?

  1. This cannot be real. And if it is, you should perhaps consider getting treated for anxiety. Or something.

    1. It is for real, just to be clear. Uh, maybe I should consider a diagnosis? Thanks for reminding me that actually. I’m waiting till I’m legally an adult so I don’t have to ask my parents (tried to ask back in the day. They laughed) (;´∀`)

  2. OP, I think you need to seek a therapist and I don’t say that as an insult. You’re wildly overthinking this. If it was an accident as you say it was, I have no doubts the person would’ve said “it’s ok” and moved on
