I think we all want to self-justify as much as is consistent with the truth. If we don't explain our reasons for doing things, then it looks to the other person as though we just don't care.

I do both at the same time. If I didn't mean to do whatever it is that I did, then I feel I have a right to put myself in the best possible light. If not, I am usually quite blunt and upfront about what I tell people.

I got a Mother's Day card for my wife that, at the time I saw it in the store was hilarious...but when she opened it and read it, the joke fell flat and sounded more mean than funny. I told her exactly that, and made dinner, and bathed both kids, and took out the trash, and gave her my body to use as she pleased for the evening. It was all good after that.

words for me are a double edged sword and nothing ends right, I just stand up and try to make it right with actions instead, that way if those effected desire to remain so effected its on them. but Im surrounded by emotional and childish people most of the time.
