Every rule has to have exceptions, that's where choice comes in. You have to learn the difference between the acceptable situations and the ones that aren't.
Ecks, calm down. Rules are great, they do help, but part of learning and growing is figuring out when those rules need changing or breaking. Thinking for yourself.
And that was good, an excellent building block. But you've grown since then, you have to keep trying to push yourself to learn. You made a mistake this time, the important thing is to own that and learn from it.
Then stop a moment, unless your life is in immediate danger right then and there, and just think if what you're about to do will actually solve the problem before you do it.
