AFF is in the honeymoon phase, so I thought I would start this thread to teach folks how to apologize when they've obviously offended someone. Folks can refer to this thread when they need to apologize!
1. Admit you were wrong.
2. Acknowledge the hurt you have caused.
3. Ask for forgiveness.
4. Promise to never do it again
e.g. I was wrong for attacking you personally like I did. I know my actions have caused you much hurt, pain and anger. Could you please find it in your heart to forgive me? From here on out, I will treat you with respect!
Good luck!
note: I'm tired of hearing apologies that say, "If I hurt you"! Of course you hurt them!!!
