People tend to be wrong. In the heat of an argument or irritation, they often offend loved ones and friends. After some time, the resentment subsides, but the feeling of regret and remorse does not allow to live in peace. This means it's time to apologize to the person you hurt and make peace with him.
Instructions
Step 1
Psychologically difficult, but the most effective apology is a personal conversation in which you will see the eyes of the interlocutor. Start apologizing by saying "I'm sorry" or "Sorry, I was (was) wrong." Explain what exactly you are asking for forgiveness. The main thing is to do it sincerely and confidently.
Step 2
If you find it difficult to decide on a personal meeting, ask for forgiveness by calling. Avoid loud phrases, speak simply and from the heart. And even if each of you remains unconvinced about the issue, the armistice proposal will do its job.
Step 3
Another way to apologize is to write a letter or send an SMS message. In this case, you will not have to look the interlocutor in the eye, you will not be interrupted by reproaches and objections. And most importantly, the text can be well thought over and edited several times. However, this method is not suitable for a serious showdown. In addition, an email or paper message will not be able to fully convey your true feelings.
Step 4
A man can ask a woman for forgiveness by sending her a bouquet of flowers and attaching an apology card to it. A small conciliatory gift or candy can help relieve the awkwardness and “appease” the person you are asking for forgiveness.
Step 5
Apologies are needed not only by the victim, but also by the offender himself. Apologizing can help you feel relieved, relieve guilt and shame, build relationships, and no longer dwell on the past. Take responsibility for what you did wrong and admit that you were wrong. Don't argue or make excuses. First, ask for forgiveness, and then explain why you did that. Don't take an apology as humiliating. If you acted badly and wrongly offended the person, it is better to repent and sincerely ask for forgiveness.
