How to Apologize To A Friend
Note:
  • If you can, pull the person aside so that you can apologize while you're alone. Not only will this reduce the likelihood of other people influencing the person's decision, but it will also make you a little less nervous. However, if you insulted the person publicly and made him/her lose face, your apology is much more effective if done publicly.
  • Use relaxed and humble body language. Keeping your arms crossed or pointing fingers will put the other person on the defensive.
  • One apology will often cause another, either from you for something else you realized you are sorry for, or from the other person because they realize the conflict was mutual. Be prepared to forgive.
  • A proper apology is always about the injured party. Keep your apology focused on the actual wrong done, and the recipient.
  • Dont keep asking if he or she is mad at you. Constant reminding of this will only make the person be more angered and ill tempered towards you.
