Hey reader! Since you are here, you must have done something awful or possibly even worse than that which ended up hurting someone with whom you are very close. The person could be your parents, siblings or cousins, teacher, classmate, friend or best friend, boyfriend or girlfriend, colleague, boss, neighbour, or even a person you have recently met but you are not very close. You might have hurt the other person through your terrible words, some sort of action, or even your attitude or behaviour towards the other person. In all of the cases, you end up feeling guilty. I can totally relate to the guilt you are facing since all of us have done something like this at least once, either intentionally or unintentionally. But what matters is that you have realised your mistake and are ready to apologise. So let’s see what you can do to make it work. Let us know What are the ‘Best I’m Sorry Messages Apology Paragraph’.
Best I’m Sorry Messages Apology Paragraph
Things to keep in mind while apologising:
We are a species known as Homo Sapiens but more than that we are social beings and we have the honour to interact with each other in a way no other species can. The interactions differ in many aspects since every individual is not the same, they are different in terms of their personality, cognition, behaviour, their inherited traits, etc. These aspects make every interaction unique and meaningful. To apologise for what you’ve done there are some things you should keep in mind. The points are related to the unique nature of the interaction between you and the other person. Let us see what these are.
- Personality: Every individual has a different personality, they can be introverted, extroverted, neurotic, conscientious, and agreeable. These personality types make people vulnerable or easygoing with certain opinions and attitudes which you need to figure out. For example, if the person you hurt is introverted. You need to understand that introverted people think a lot and notice even minute details. So make sure to understand their point of view before jumping to the conclusion of the situation. If the person is neurotic, you have to prepare yourself since they are hard to get along with due to their self centred personality.
- Right Place and timing: Since you are researching too much about how to apologise the intensity of the mistake must be high. And in these matters, you need to make sure that you find some appropriate place and get enough time to apologise and make the person feel good. For example, if you need to apologise to your partner don’t just send them a text, instead meet them and spend some quality time while you apologise for your mistake. Trust me, apologising to a person face to face, works way better than texting.
- Do not fake it: This is a very obvious point. If you fake it, the other person can immediately sense it. And no matter how hard you try or how much you say, the person will never forgive you since they can feel that you are just doing a formality. So either apologise genuinely or do not.
- Always keep calm: As I mentioned, the interactions between us are very diverse which can also lead to clashes. Even if the situation is not going as you have planned, please do not lose your calm because it can make the situation even worse. Remember one thing: you are here apologising to the person who you have hurt.
- Make amends: Lastly, you need to make sure that after apologising you will not repeat the same mistake. If you do so, you will hurt the person way more than before which might get hard to convince and you will end up losing everything.
What to say while apologising?
As I said we are social beings and we have different types of relationships with different kinds of people so we cannot apologise to everyone in a similar way. The apology has to be specific right? So let’s see how you can apologise to different people and particularly what you can say.
Parents
There is a boundary in the parent child relationship and we need to maintain that boundary. Parents are the base of our lives and without them we would have not been what we are today. They put in a lot of effort to provide us with everything and they should be praised for that from time to time. Keeping this in mind you can say beautiful things to make them feel appreciated
- Mom/Dad have you ever noticed that plants and trees are so green, full of life and seem so successful? It is all about the part of the tree which is above the soil that we are able to see and get amazed by it. But at the same time, the greenery of the tree of plants is nothing without its roots. Roots stay below the soil but it is providing life to the tree and if we separate them, all the greenery will fade away just in a few hours. The tree is me and the roots are you, my mom and my dad. I am nothing without you. I am sorry for what I did, please accept my apology.
- Hey Mom/Dad. I hope everything is fine. I remember what I have done the other day and I know you are upset with me. I am very sorry for my behaviour. I did not mean to shout at you and I promise I will not repeat it. Please just do not be mad at me. I love you so much and I can not see you like this. Forgive me, please.
- Dear parents, I have come to realise that having parents like you are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. I know I have been a bad son/daughter, and I accept that whatever I have done today/ that day, is terrible and the last thing I would ever wish to do, even in my dreams. I am regretting my actions, my attitude, and my behaviour towards you, please forgive me for the pain I have caused.
- Mom/Dad, I do not even what I was doing at that time, I was not in the condition to understand what is right and what is wrong, I was so much in anger. But after getting calm I realised that my actions were ridiculous, my behaviour was absurd, and my tone of voice was terrible. You guys are the most important part of my life, I can never afford to lose you. Please accept my apology. Let us go eat dinner together and spend some quality time.
Friends
Friends are very important, right? Whether you are in school, college, office, or even in the neighbourhood, friends play a crucial role in our lives. Friends make our life fun. They help us in need. They share our sorrows in bad times. They increase our happiness and celebrate with us in our good times. Just like parents, friends also support us and shape our lives. Let us apologise by saying;
- Hey.. Are you still angry? Mate I really didn’t meant it that way, I know I have caused you pain. Forgive me for being such a jerk. You are a good person and I am feeling really guilty after that incident (mention the details). I can assure you it was the first and last time. Please let us be normal again.
- Dude….. I genuinely feel sorry for what I did/ said. I know the way I reacted is not acceptable at all. I just miss you a lot. Let’s just hang out again. I want to apologise to you in person and in a proper way. The guilt is eating me up. I wish I had not done it in the first place, but what has been done is done and I can only change the future, not the past. So I promise not to repeat it because I can not risk losing you. Let us meet today at 6.
Partner
Love makes life beautiful I know, and when your partner is upset life feels incomplete. Your partner is one of those people who love you unconditionally (without any condition/ purpose/ need). They deserve to be treated well. If you have hurted them, it is high time that you apologise.
- Hey babe/ baby/ sweetheart (whatever you call them). I want to share something with you, please listen carefully. Have you seen a money plant? When the plant grows, it grows in weird directions and ultimately breaks up in parts because it was not growing straight. So we have to give support to the plant while growing so that it can grow in the right direction and can stay alive. For me that support system is you. Without you I seem meaningless and incomplete. You are way better than me in every aspect, I know we have clashes many times but we fight because we love each other. I can not loose such an amazing person. Please forgive me for my absurd actions/ behaviour/ attitude. I didn’t mean it that way and you know that I am not like that. I can’t see you like this please forgive me. Just kiss me be good again.
Mentor/ Senior
We are a part of diverse communities as I mentioned earlier. The person you want to whom you want to apologise can also be your teacher, professor, mentor, your senior, or anyone who you respect. Let us apologise to them through some kind, calm and beautiful words.
- Respected sir/ madam, wish you a very good morning/ afternoon/ evening. I hope you are doing great. There’s a thing I wanted to say regarding what happened today/ that day. I want to apologise for my behaviour, I know it was not the right way how it should be and how it went and I will definitely make sure that it is the first and the last time. Please accept my apology.
Colleagues
Whether we are in school, college or in the office, we have colleagues who work with us during the official hours. We spend a significant amount of time with these people and if our interaction with them is disturbed, it would lead to uncomfortable situations and work, school or college. It is highly recommended to sort out the grudges with colleagues. To apologise you say few words like this:
- Hey you know I really missed the way we were before. I know things have changed and it is solely because of me, because of my actions, what happened that day. I truly am sorry for that, for hurting you, for ruining whatever we had. I promise it was the first and the last time. You are a great person, you deserve to be treated well. I promise we will be the same again.
Any person
Apart from all the people mentioned earlier, there can be anyone whom you have met recently, you are not close with. Here you can use some simple words to communicate and share that you are genuinely sorry for what you have done.
- Hii! I am truly sorry for ___ (state your reason). I was in a bad mood and I did not realise that I caused you pain. I know I spoiled your mood. Please forget it, let us be good again. Come let us grab a coffee. I hope we are well, right?
Now when you have read the different messages you can use to apologise, figure out which one is the best suited in your case and will be the most appropriate one. Do it as soon as possible because as the time is passing by you are decreasing your chances to be forgiven. Just be polite and show them that you are genuinely sorry, I can assure that you will win it. There might be some chances that they will not accept your apology, but do not loose hope and keep trying. Just be consistent with you polite atttiute and your opinion they will surely forgive you one day.
