Would you apologize to someone for behavior you regret, when / if you are uncertain they want anything more to do with you (kinda awkward 👀)?

Like you still think you owe them an examination but you don’t think they really want context so in that case is the apology selfish— which defeats the purpose I think apologies are supposed to benefit the receiver tho I guess, really, it’s for the person apologizing to put it to rest and accept their accountability. Now I’m not sure if apologies are really for who or what lol kind of like how funerals are really for the living to gain closure unless it’s a wake.

Anyhow I think I got a bit off topic. If you wanted to apologize to someone before Covid but couldn’t do it for three years, would you still do it after even if they seem bad. Or would you Just leave them alone? Yeah I know maybe they can be mad bc you never apologized/ or explained BUT they can also just be annoyed and want nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️

What would you do if the only thing you know for sure is you were wrong. Maybe they were too hit you’re owning up to your actions, not theirs.

Thanks!

I KNOW I ask stuff like this a lot 😂 💦 I have a latent respond to stuff. I’m good at looking at other situations, but If I’m personally involved, I don’t really sense things with people till wayyyy later. In the moment I’m just kinda detached — for many many moments really. Just takes a long time for how I feel about the situation to click for me. Sucks… I guess it wouldn’t bother he if I didn’t care but I do care just too late. It’s like I’m completely disaffected in the moment then completely compassionate, months, years, later. 😬
I’d offer to clear things up & they can do what they want with it.
I’d send them an email or text. So they don’t feel put on the spot and they can read or not read. As they wish, in their own time.
I’d send them a recording, so that as with option B, they are not put on the spot, plus there will be less risk for confusion bc your voice intonation inflection etc etc, impacts communication greatly.
I really don’t know what I’d do, if anything 🤷🏻‍♀️
I do not really care enough about any event from more than a month ago to bother.
I’d ask generally to talk, if they don’t express interest, then I just leave it.
