I made a 4 min. youtube video on this subject and the checklist basically was
1. What did you do wrong exactly? No weasel words.
2. How do you think that made them feel?
3. Why are their feelings important to you?
4. What are you committed to doing better in the future?
5. What steps are you taking to make that come true?
6. Why is it important to you to make take those steps?
Taking real responsibility is so rare these days, that a well formed apology on it's own, stands out and is rewarded immediately. Not only will you feel great speaking about your true feelings, you'll also have a plan to a brighter future and relationship with that person mapped out, so it's easier to follow.
When you know why your friends, family and lovers are important to you, and how you should treat them, and why it's important to you to behave a certain way towards them, great behavior flows more effortlessly.
- rectang 8y agoVery nice! Coming back to this discussion after a few hours, I see that many of the comments are more concerned with not apologizing than on apologizing. It's your loss, folks! Having the confidence to know when an apology is appropriate and to apologize properly and sincerely, is not a humiliation but a reflection of your own strength of character.
