This is my way of apology

What's the most important thing when you make a mistake with someone else? Of course, we have to apologize and say sorry for what you have done. In a sense, many of us encountered being used, abused and treated poorly just because we are what we are. Apologizing helps to ease the grudge, the heaviness of the situation and our madness towards someone.

I admit that I offended a lot of people back then. If you don't know, I'm a straightforward person. I don't want flowery words when it comes to advising or counseling someone. A person who asked what to do in his situation and will not recognize my help. Then, I really said to him that next time. Don't bother to ask for advice if you will not listen to it because you just wasted someone's time. Isn't it rude to ask advice then he will not listen or see your messages? It's a big no, no for me!

When was the last time you gave or received an apology?

The last time I said sorry for what I did was when I threw my sister's pouch and it contained one of her wristwatches. I have no idea if that particular pouch has a wristwatch and I threw it because of my excitement. She won an award in journalism and I just exerted my happiness and joy in throwing away the thing I saw. Thankfully, she wasn't mad at me because she has a lot of wristwatches.

I didn't remember anything that someone apologized to me recently. But, I think the best apology I ever received was when my classmate accidentally moved my attache case in a 2nd floor building and it broke into pieces. And my pens, colors and papers scattered like a real mess. She apologized and even gave me a bottle of stick-o. Yeah, I loved stick-o when I was in high school. But my mother was so mad at me because the attache case was a bit pricey. I told her everything so that it would ease her madness to me, yet she didn't believe in me. Poor soul!

What's the best way to deliver our apology? Should it be in person? Handwritten? Digital?

If you made a mistake in person, then you have to apologize in person as well. You don't need to do that in chat or send a personal message written by you. I think if you managed to make a mistake in person, then you should have the guts to apologize in person too. Isn't it rude or unpleasant to know that you apologize in a message or paper? It will look like you are not sincere at all.

Handwritten apology is best to use when you made a mistake in a private scenario like you two are the only people involved. Write an apology with sincere words, not just a meaningful one. Digital apology is best to use when it is only a friend of yours online. Like, how could you even send a handwritten or apology in person if you two haven't met in the first place?

Have I ever given or received a digital apology? Is a digital one just as good as any other form of apology? Why or why not?

I don't think I have given an apology online because I haven't offended anyone yet. Yeah, from the moment I use social media, I never dare to trash talk, harass, or cyber bully others online. It was so far from what I am. I have already told you guys that I am in person in all the places I have been to. Like, even here in read cash, I am still transparent, real and just being me.

But, a digital apology is okay and will be accepted if you really meant it. We know how social media works right now. Just a bit of offending words or others don't like it, you will be branded by something and you have to apologize or else. You will not like what your online life will be like in the future. It's a good thing if you apologize online and the offender will accept it wholeheartedly.

What makes a good apology?

There are many reasons why we apologize, it may be personal, social, spiritual and economical. Whatever it may be, the most important thing in an apology is you are sincere and will never do it again. What is the whole point of your apology if you don't mean it? Like, you will still do it over and over again. I think what you are doing is a fake apology. Perhaps, it's not even considered as an apology.

I just wanted to remind everyone that if you are feeling guilty about what you have done, then you have to apologize and say sorry. Don't make it more complicated because at the end, the only person who'll bear the heaviness is you. And we all deserved to have a peaceful and stress-free life, right? As much as possible, stay away from bugging other's business. You have yours and focus on it. Apology will not cost you anything, but courage.
