In this life, we definitely have made some mistakes, no matter how small it is.
For example, you are talking with friends, and without you realize you said something rude and hurt her or his feelings.
Sure, you mean no harm.
Even your friends do not feel offended by your words.
However, there is still an uncomfortable and awkward feeling.
''We sometimes make mistakes unintentionally.
A sincere apology accompanied by a handshake will remove the sense of awkwardness,'' said Jennifer Thomas, author of The Five Languages of Apology.
However, it is undeniable that apology is one of the most difficult things we do.
* Why is it difficult to apologize? Apology may not be in your nature.
Some consider ''apologized associated with self-esteem and show weakness,'' says Beverly Engel, author of The Power of Apology.
Remember, asking for forgiveness is a form of self-healing and give other people a chance to forgive you.
In addition, an apology heals existing relationships.
* What to say? The most important thing is the etiquette and your attitude.
''If you ask for forgiveness without based on sincerity and just by saying it, there would be no meaning,'' Engel said.
Engel then gave three important points in asking for forgiveness: 1.
Consider the relationship with the other person.
Be aware that the friendship or romance that you've both been through is worth the effort.
If you already determine this, then you will realize how important it is to apologize.
Making mistakes to friends should not be practiced as a habit.
You acted without any sense of guilt and hope everything will be fine over time? Seriously ''apology will make you appreciate,'' says Lauren Bloom, author of The Art of Apology.
2.
Express your feelings of regret.
When you say sorry, you should show empathy and feelings.
You realize that you've done something wrong and hurt others.
''Do not smile or look cocky when you apologize,'' Engel said.
Show that you are responsible and have a willingness to correct mistakes.
No point in finding fault with others.
Do not indicate the nature of defensive or make excuses justification.
Let's just say short, you are guilty! 3.
Find a cure.
You feel guilty and want to pay for this mistake? Just spill your feelings to someone you trust.
Another way is to look for entertainment such as reading a book that can make you forget the events.
* What happens next? After asking for forgiveness, be patience and wait for your partner's reaction.
Not everyone can forgive quickly.
''Do not press the other person to ask for an immediate answer,'' Engel said.
If this does not work, try another way, for example via email or SMS to express your regret.
