That sorry seems to be the hardest word! If you make a mistake and are trying to apologize to someone you hurt, are you sure you are doing it the right way? What should we say with this?
If you're doing one of these 4 actions, then you're still wrong:
1. Blame the other: One of the most horrible things you can do is blame the other for your mistake.
2. Justify yourself: When you justify behavior, you are simply aggravating the situation and looking ridiculous. Behave well!
3. "Well, it's not a big deal": Who are you to decide this ?! You can not say, especially if the other person is really affected by the mistake. Moreover it is disrespectful.
4. You are acquitted: We know you can do it without harm, but when you are acquitted you are obliged to explain your actions. You can do this, but a little later. Give the other person time to "get over it".
You are probably wondering how to act. Here's the right way to apologize:
1. Understand the mistake: When apologizing, admit the mistake because it is an action that helps you rebuild trust and fix the relationship.
2. Admit the mistake: When fully acknowledging your responsibilities, show dignity in front of the injured person. This is where the healing process begins.
3. Express feelings: A sincere apology indicates that you are taking full responsibility for your actions. This can strengthen self-confidence, self-esteem and reputation. You will probably feel relieved yourself.
4. Really change: It is important to apologize, but be aware that the other person may be hurt. Give yourself time. Also think about how to improve. Empty promises are worthless to anyone.
