Apologies

[sandragonfly]

oh, general apologies.. mostly when one hurt others unintentionally, etc.

some people think they should apologize "physically", giving hugs, browines, flowers, use "I" statements only or pointing the other out while saying sorry.

just wondering, a few people have been telling me I overapologize. I guess I just want to!

lol, overapologizing is not bad, it should just really show people you truely want them to know you are sorry. After they know how sorry you are, then you could probably stop with the apologizing and just start to make up for it by making them happy or making them laugh. Just by being a great friend is the best apology ever!

Sometimes making an amend can take place of "sorry".

For example, I interrupt a lot (though I am better than I used to be). In addition to apologizing, I can start working on NOT interrupting, and changing my behaviour. That is "making a mend".

On the other hand - just tell everyone you're sorry for apologizing so much, and laugh! They will too!
