Ooh, who is Louis CK? That’s a brilliant statement.

Try “I’m sorry *that* I…” instead of “I’m sorry *if* I…” If, in this case, downplays your behavior, and makes it seem debatable how they feel. Like Louis CK said, “When a person tells you that you hurt them, you don’t get to decide that you didn’t.” Own your mistake and validate their feelings.

When I attempt to “keep it real” l have little to be remorseful over as that tells the one I presummed have affected that I was indeed wrong and I am just not admitting it. How do you get past the lack of acceptance on the other person’s part when attempting all those letter “R’s” in this apology note?

But I am not necessarily sorry for my words or actions- which were carefully considered beforehand. How do I handle these kind of apologies?
