How to Apologize to Someone You've Hurt

Here are 5 steps on how to apologize to someone you've hurt.

1. Acknowledge that you were wrong and own up to your mistakes. For example, you could say: "I am sorry I upset you."
2. Don't blame others for your actions and behaviours. Keep it about you. For example: "I am sorry that I acted this way earlier."
3. Don't make excuses for your actions. You could say: "I know what I did was wrong and there's no excuse for my behaviours."
4. Express regret and let them know you feel bad about hurting them. For instance, you could say: "I've hurt your feelings and I wish I could take it back."
5. Ask for forgiveness. You could say: "Can you please forgive me? Is there anything I could do to help build your trust?"

Remember that a sincere apology is the one that communicates genuine empathy, remorse, and regret.

"I'm sorry I upset you" isn't my favorite piece of advice. It'd be better if it was just "im sorry I behaved poorly." "I'm sorry I upset you" sounds like "im sorry your feelings are hurt"

You omitted the biggest step in apologising which is vowing to stop the behaviours that led to you doing wrong and stick to it… talk is dirt cheap 😢
