Are Your Apologies Real Apologies, Vol. 471, October 11, 2018
So often when we upset others, an apology is in order. The only problem is that more often then not, these apologies are given as a means to appease the person hurt, instead of being a real apology.
In order to truly apologize you need to take a few steps.
- Tell the person from your heart, that you are sorry.
- Ask them what you need to do differently in the future to never repeat the same situation.
- Actively put that suggestion into action, to heal the hurt.
- Allow the hurt person the time it will take to forgive you. This is something that only the person who was hurt has any control over.
I bring this up because it is actually very damaging to the relationship to sarcastically say you are sorry. This really causes deeper hurt then if you said nothing.
Think to the last time someone hurt you by doing something that you didn’t want them to do. Think back to if you ever received an apology. If so, was it the type of apology that healed the hurt, or was it just an appeasement to get you off their back? If you feel better after the apology was given, you are on the right track. However, it really should be done with the steps above in place to allow the most healing of the relationship.
