How to give a sincere apology with SORRY
S is for Stand up.
To give a genuine apology, you have to recognize what happened and how another person feels. You need to see that harm was done. It’s not always easy to do this but if you ask yourself open-ended questions, you will often say that, yes, something bad happened.
It sounds like: “I’m sorry I knocked your stuff off your desk.
O is for Own it.
Once you have said what happened, you might be ready for the next step: accepting your role. It’s not just that something bad happened. Rather, something bad happened, and you’re responsible for it.
It sounds like: “I overreacted because I was angry.”
R is for Respond differently.
Next, get ready to think about what you could have done differently. Going through this step helps you learn what to do (and what not to do) the next time your emotions get the better of you.
It sounds like: “I should have thought before I acted.”
R is for Repair the damage.
Sometimes it’s easy to fix things. Other times, what’s done is done. In these cases, you may just need to ask what they can do to make things better.
It sounds like: “I’ll help you pick it up” or “What can I do to make this better?”
Y is for Yield to their feelings.
Part of a genuine apology is not expecting that the other person will forgive right away. It may be hard for you to understand, but other people have the right to be unhappy with you.
It sounds like: “I know you might still be upset.”
Use the cheat sheet to write an apology for these common problems.
Come up with some more situations.
You take the ball off someone on the court because you want to play
You laugh at someone’s spelling result
You get caught with your phone in your bad.

Why are some people unkind?
Individualism and a lack of restraint – I’ll do it my way and I don’t care about what you think!
Inflated self-worth – People who are self-absorbed don’t value others except as a means to fill needs and desires.
Low self-worth – Being hostile and defensive is often a sign of insecurity
Materialism – The quest for money and possessions is more important than showing kindness
Injustice –An injustice may create feelings of envy, demoralization, depression, or outrage.
Stress – People who are overworked or overwhelmed may be indifferent to those around them.
Anonymity – If I don’t know you, it doesn’t matter how I treat you.
Not needing others – We are becoming content with electronic isolation
Mental health problems
Anger
Fear
These are things that can at different times in our lives impact on all of us.
