Do you apologize when you’re wrong? How do you apologize?

Question

superchan2011 · Accepted Answer

I usually do apologize as I believe in taking personal accountability for your actions or your side of things. I'll apologize with a combination of expressing it with absolute sincerity and usually will try not to repeat whatever offending action I did to the person.

Oh, diving into the art of apologies, are we? Lovebombing you with some wisdom here! 😜 When I'm wrong, I don't just say "sorry" and bolt. Nope. I get cozy with my mistakes, wrap them up in understanding, and deliver an apology that's like a gourmet meal - rich, satisfying, and leaves a lasting impression. I make sure to acknowledge what I did, express my genuine remorse, and share my action plan on how I intend to make things right or improve. It's about showing you really get the mess you made and you're ready to clean it up, not just with words but with actions. And hey, owning up to our oopsies makes us more charming, doesn’t it? 😉 Who else has a guilty "Oops, my bad" story? Let's hear it!

. Many years ago something happened between a friend of mine and I.

And we went around and around and around on what happened she thought one way I saw it another way.

This is after had already happened we were talking about it.

And replay it over and over and over it took me about 45 minutes until it finally all came to me and I was wrong and I sat there for a few minutes knowing that I was wrong.

And I thought about not saying anything but I couldn't do that to her and I looked at her deep in her eyes and I said you know what.

This this is what happened and I in detail ran it . All past her.

And I said you were right. I'm wrong I was wrong and the moment I said that I felt 5 billion pounds come off my shoulders my body was light as a feather and tears started coming from her eyes.

And from that day to this day I have no problem ever saying that I am wrong.

I learned many years before that just because I think something doesn't mean that I'm right but anyway it was a very beautiful moment it was a growing moment and from that day to this day it has changed my life just because I can say those words I was wrong.

If I did something I believe is wrong, I apologize very sincerely. If I did something someone else thinks is wrong but I don't, it depends.

For example, if I show up late to an appointment, I always apologize very sincerely since I'm always wrong there. It doesn't even matter if someone hit my car. I'm still wrong and everything is my fault because people expected me to show up on time and I didn't. I'll assure the person that I'll do everything I can to make sure it never happens again, including aiming to arrive at least half an hour earlier next time so that if someone hits my car, I'll still be able to make it on time. I'm very true to my word in these cases.

On the flip side, if I very share my thoughts in a very civil way that I don't think men can get pregnant, and someone gets offended and calls me a transphobe and demands an apology, I don't think I should give one. Since I really think if I'm in the wrong here just for sharing that, how can this person handle the rest of the entire internet? So I think it's actually their fault for getting offended and they're the ones with a problem that needs to be corrected. I don't think I should cease to offer my civil opinions on the subject.

Valdemort · Answer

Literally no problem to admit my mistakes.
When I'm aware of doing/saying something that I deemed wrong and turns out not to be... then I am wrong and I'll gladly apologise for it.
There's nothing to gain from being stubborn and wanting to be right all the time, when you're not.

StarWarGirl · Answer

I do apologise definitely whenever I'm wrong and I myself feel that I'm wrong. And whenever I'm not wrong but I know my words are hurtful for others then also I apologise but there I do mention that I'm sorry for hurting you but I do believe this is right or I'm right here. Like that.

Caramalkisses23 · Answer

I do apologize because I think it’s important to show someone that you can take accountability for your actions. You can’t expect someone to take accountability for themself- if you can’t. When I do apologize, I ask questions to make sure I know exactly what I did wrong and how it made them feel. Apologizing sometimes is not about what you did, it was your intentions and the outcome for the other person. I try to stay genuine.

Angelo75 · Answer

I just say it.

The quicker you apologize after your mistake, the easier it is.
The longer you wait, the more the tension will build up, and the more reasons your messed-up brains will start to think off so that you don't apologize.
The catch is, if you don't do it often, you can't expect the other person to apologize to you when he's wrong.
