I had a disagreement with a friend this weekend that could have easily been squelched with those two simple words. It started out of the blue and typically I don’t like confrontation, but certain things were said that made my blood boil. When I am in the wrong, I apologize. When I am attacked unfairly I will stand up for myself IF the other person is willing to discuss it like adults. However, when it results to yelling and screaming, I’m out.
After the confrontation, it would have been very easy to reconcile if my friend would have just said “I’m sorry.” Instead, there were non apology apologies like “what do you have going on tomorrow? Is there anything left in the garden? Do you have any more gum?”
Why is it so hard for some people to say “I’m sorry?”
