It should be translated "I was not cool"/"I was not looking good". That is why saying this will sound you are more concern about your "image" than anything else. As you said, 悪かった is good. You could as well say 言い過ぎた. By the way, if the guy is not close to you, it would be also good to apologize using keigo. | |
| Feb 5, 2012 at 3:27 | comment | added | Questioner | Interesting point about how it could be taken as being about my appearance. I intended it more as self-deprecating. However, now that you bring it up, I suppose it is a focus on my appearance, and I think that would be the same in English as well. Interesting. I suppose it's not a bad thing to want to clarify "I'm not usually like that", but you raise a strong point that to be acceptable it has to be couched in a clear context of "and I'm also very sorry for the effect it had on you." | |
