him: What did you apologize for? You didn’t do anything wrong.
me: Because I hurt her feelings, and for that, I am truly sorry.
If you can’t apologize for what happened, can you find it in your heart to acknowledge the pain, frustration, fear, anxiety that was created with a simple apology?
So true. My boyfriend from time to time will ask me why I am sorry about the pain he feels from a medical condition he has. "It's not your fault," he'll say. And I will respond that saying I'm sorry is not necessarily an admission of guilt or blame. I have used this example before: if your best friend's mother dies and you say that you are so sorry, does that imply that you killed her mother? Of course not!
I am bipolar. I control what I do by going to the gym. It may be extreme sometimes, but it's better than putting myself in a situation where I have to say 'sorry.'
Thanks for the great post..Hoping to see more of your great works..Thanks.
I think the sentence "I am sorry" is not for guilt or blame anyone i think its just a formality to control the depression of the patients!
