Do you feel guilty(内疚的) for something you did? Maybe you made a mistake that hurt someone. Either way, the simple words "I'm sorry" can help you and others feel better. It's not always easy to admit(承认) what you did is wrong. But you can't learn from your mistakes without admitting them.
Apologizing(道歉) is an important part of personal growth. When you apologize, the other person knows that you understand his feelings. But in fact, it shows that you are strong enough to put others before yourself. After apologizing, you may become closer to your friend than before.
But even after you decided to apologize, you may not be sure how to do it.
①Show that you feel guilty and understand how the other person feels. For example, you could say, " I feel terrible for talking to you like that."
②Don't keep doing what you apologized for.
③Don't put off(推迟) making an apology.
Apologies can be hard, but they are necessary for healthy relationships.
| A. I'm sorry that I shouted at you. B. Here are some suggestions for you. C. Say you're sorry as soon as you realize(发觉) you should. D. You may fear that apologizing makes you look weak. E. Or maybe you chose to do a wrong thing out of anger. |
