How do you apologize if you don't feel sorry?
It depends on why you need to apologize, and why you don't feel sorry.If you don't feel sorry because you don't think something was your fault, but you are sorry that someone felt bad, then you can apologize for their feeling bad.If you don't feel sorry because you did something, but it wasn't on purpose, then you can feel sorry for doing it, without saying you were "bad" but just that you made a mistake.But if you don't feel sorry because you hurt the person on purpose, then I don't see why you would say you were sorry, unless after the fact you realized it hurt that person more than you anticipated, and you were sorry for that.Say why you need to apologize, and say why you don't feel sorry, and I'll be able to answer your question directly. But without those details, the question is too broad (as I'm sure you can tell from my answers).
What do I do after apologizing?
Ask what you could do to make it up to them for your mistakes.You may ask if you have been forgiven, if they do not say anything, it's best if you know. Them forgetting about your mistake and trusting you or having confidence in you is up to them, do not ask them for it because they need some time, you will need to work hard to earn it and to prove to them you deserve a second chance.If they have forgiven you or tell you it's was not your fault, while you still feel it was your fault, you will need to work on acknowledging your mistake and forgiving yourself for whatever happened because it is in the past now, it happened, there is nothing you can do. Move on giving up blaming yourself and concentrate to do better next time.Even when you have not been forgiven, I think its best if you forgive yourself so that you can move on and focus on making up for your mistakes, you can't forever live in your past.
Should I apologize to my Husband's ex-wife?
I met my now husband, when he was still married to his ex-wife.During the whole relationship they spend more time apart than together,because she was a very jealous person. I met my husband when his daughter was 9 months old, i knew he had a daughter but i didn't know he was still married because he was staying a one of his friends house who was my friend's husband. We connected really quick and started to like each other, since I moved to my friend's house from another State, i saw him everyday.one day I ask my friend if he was still with his wife and she said "sometimes" It looked like they had trouble way before i came into the picture. Long story short; we try to break things up many times for a whole year and a half, I even moved from my friends house so i wouldn't have to see him but i really loved him and i knew he loved me too.It wasn't long before his wife find out but she ask him to stay for his "daughter sake"(his daughter is his weakness) until one day she kick him out of the house.Two month later she was living with one of my husband's friends, we didn't start living together until a year after they separated, for 3 years she make our life living hell,she would call at 4 in the morning in a Monday just to tell him to not forget to pick up their daughter on Friday, then she will ad she was making breakfast for her man.She send letters to my MIL to tell her that i was a bad person and that my husband didn't gave her any money and that she wanted to get back with him, and that was why she didn't had any man yet, she call me B****, and then she will call him and said i call her to insult her, she did too many things to write them all and not even once i call her back to insult her or anything.For more than 3 years she kept this attitude, until about almost 2 years ago, after the birth of my son, she started to give my kid's gifts(i have a 10 y old son from a previous relationship) and to invite my older son to my stepdaughter birthdays, since her attitude change, i try to get along with her and so far that's what we are doing, even thought i have some doubt about her intentions i want to think that she may be over my husband. I wanted to this long ago, but it never seemed to be the right time until now.Do you think I should apologize to her for what happened? I don't know if my husband already did it, but i feel like I should. What do you think?
How do I apologize for ignoring a friend?
You say I'm sorry. But apparently you don't feel it necessary to put forth some effort like you expect your friends to do for you...all relationships are two way streets. This is not conducive to continuing friendships. But you expect them to accept the fact that you neglect them and ignore them and then expect an apology to make everything better. The sooner you find out that this does not work, the better. You are the one who's going to have to decide if keeping up your friendships is worth a little effort from YOU. If your friends decides to forgive you had better suck it up and care enough to contact her...that is...if you want to keep her as a friend. Edit...in regard to your additional details. We females have a tendency to let things go on too long before something finally blows up. I've done it too. Apparently this situation has been brewing for some. So if you want to keep this friend, you both need to retrain, and maybe agree to take turns contacting each other...that way it stays balanced and no hard feelings build on either side. You two need to talk and get things straight.
Should you apologize for something you didn't do?
Yes. I have, a million times (maybe not quite literally, but yeah!)I have a weird habit of apologizing to everyone for everything even if it is not my fault. Because, I think apologizing is a far better option than making a big deal out of the issue.If you are the first one to say the mere word ‘sorry’, it does not make you naive or the ‘small person’. It just means that you are the bigger person there.And this is one of the reasons why I love British people and Britain itself. They are the most well-mannered people in the world (according to me.) They even say sorry when they stumble into a pole!Sorry if my answer was not what you expected. (And that was my futile attempt to make people laugh. I am so bad at humour!)So to end my answer, yes I do apologize a lot and it’s good to do so. And it’s also good to say ‘thank you’ to people whenever needed.Have a great life!
Should I apologize for being sick yesterday?
Yesterday morning I was a little on the sick side when I woke up. My husband wanted SOME (you know what I mean). I told him that I wasn't feeling well. On top of the kids waking up before dawn yelling and screaming, he went OFF on me telling me how i'm not a morning person and that need to see how it feels to wake up early every morning like he do to go to work. I'm so tired of him throwing the fact the he works and I don't in my face. What in the world that has to do with me being sick? He has had an attitude all yesterday and today. As much as that hurt my feelings, should I apologize for feeling ill? Should I be allowed to feel sick. What do you all think. What would y'all do or say?
What do you do when someone doesn't apologize when they do something wrong?
You make a note of it.There are several reasons why people don’t apologize, and lack of empathy is only one of them. Sometimes they feel they are in the right, and even when others get hurt, that’s enough to justify being unapologetic. There are those who feel they shouldn’t feel sorry for certain outcomes, even if they appear to be in a position where an apology would seem appropriate. Sometimes it’s on purpose, maybe because they think you’re strong, that they don’t owe you anything, or they don’t wish to appear weak. In a workplace environment, professionalism doesn’t mandate apology or even empathy. To clients, certainly, but when your boss is being a dick because things need to get done, apologizing for his bluntness is the last thing on his mind, and should be the last thing on yours also. And then there are also those who don’t realize they caused harm, and those who are simply too timid. None of these things necessarily would make them guilty of anything, but an apology will still be missing.So you see, people not apologizing when you expect them to is not as simple as just them being an asshole. On the opposite of the spectrum, there are also those who apologize way too much. In which case you begin to wonder, if and when do they actually mean it. We are all somewhere in between.Then there is the opposite situation. Have you ever not apologized? Has anyone unexpectedly asked you to apologize? To think you know exactly when everyone should apologize is putting yourself on some higher moral pedestal , and, frankly, is quite dangerous. Surely we’ve all encountered such a person and felt threatened. So what then?Make a note of it. If it really bothers you, ask why. If you were hurt or you feel the incident damaged your relationship, it would be your courtesy to let them know. From there, either you’ll have a bonding more meaningful discussion, or you’ll get to understand the person better. Neither are negative outcomes.
What should I do if my friend wants me to apologize when I didn't do anything?
You don’t. You find out what happened first, ask your friend and if he can’t tell you don’t apologize.Many people today think they “Won” just because someone said sorry to them, someone apologized to them. You can say sorry and apologize for hurting someone even if you don’t think you’ve done nothing wrong, just because you want to take the first step and be friends again. But many people will think they WIN because you apologized, they will think you admit that you did something bad and it was YOUR fault.DON’T APOLOGIZE IF YOU THINK YOU’VE DONE NOTHING WRONG.Also if you say sorry, what are you apologizing for? You don’t even remember what happened and what you did wrong. It will seem like a fake apology. That can only make things worse.You can just say something like “Sorry if I hurt you.” but I would ask what happened and if my friend says he doesn’t wanna talk then I can’t apologize.If he doesn’t wanna talk just give him some time.
