> I did a lot of sincere public apologizing If you generally live by your own values, and act according to them, then (in my opinion) you should rarely need to apologise for that. Why did you need to do a lot of apologizing, I'm curious? If I think of particular people I personally know who frequently apologise, it often seems to me that they are doing that to centre and prioritise their own experience ahead of other people's - which perhaps was exactly the problem in the first place. That type of apology can taste slightly sour. I find that listening is a more important aspect of apologising than talking.
