Create Your Apology Message
How to Apologize Effectively
✅ Do acknowledge your mistake clearly
Be specific about what you're sorry for. Vague apologies feel insincere.
✅ Do take responsibility
Use "I" statements. Avoid deflecting or making excuses.
✅ Do show empathy
Acknowledge the impact of your actions on the other person.
✅ Do offer a solution
Explain what you'll do differently in the future.
❌ Don't over-apologize
Multiple "sorry"s can diminish the sincerity of your apology.
❌ Don't make it about you
Avoid phrases like "I'm sorry but I was..." that justify your actions.
