when you say sorry... just mean it. i think that would be the best approach. it may not be in a word spoken... because it can be a word written. it can also be expressed thru little actions... like a hug, a squeeze on the hand, a handshake... no matter how you communicate to your family and friends just how sorry you are for whatever reason... just mean it. the things you failed to do are not failures, look at them as opportunity to learn and be better. saying sorry can be hard if you are not used to doing it. just talk to them first. one way or another... you can let them know how sorry you are in a way you are most comfortable doing... by being yourself... and by meaning it.

Just get them all together and say sorry. But don't drag it out as it will only make you feel worse. Try to do better next time, but don't change on other's behalf. You are what you are and that is that. TATA.

actually saying sorry is my first move for change although i don't know how to do it properly ... my head is full of guilt and it gets heavier every day .... i want to say it to them one by one because i'm not really used to having a lot of people near me or rather i'm not too comfortable with crowds ... i know that in every person there should be an approach because i know that all of us have different personalities ...

Then start at the most important person in your life. But don't stress about it, it will only make things worse. You are human and we tend to make mistakes and having trouble apologizing. Just relax and take your time doing it. TATA.

I think the best sorry to be given is when you say it out loud and by looking straight into the eyes showing that you really mean what you are saying. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

dear kiel_d_01, to err is human and to forgive is divine. well in life we get hurt many many times along the way and at the same time we hurt and wounded others too. there are scars, injuries, blemishes, rejections, quarrels,cries, shouting matches and insults. we must recognised that these things happen as this is a world of humans vanity, emotions, feelings and fraility. we must indeed be sorry for what we have said and done in our anger, anxiety and envy. we must earnestly be sorry. either you approach them individually or or not, you know best. pray and ask GOD to minister to you first and guide you through. think over it and dont rush through. God will help you to ask for forgiveness from them ( if you can talk to them alone or bring someone along), you ask God to forgive you and you have to forgive yourself too. trust in GOD to lessen your burden. God understands you and He is loving, patient and compassionate. its painful and you are filled with regrets. dont be fearful or anxious, please bring them to the lord , talk and ask Him to help you.be calm and patient. He will hold your hands and comfort you, kiel. cheer up for He is with you as He never leaves you alone or forsake you. He will give you peace ang joy. Trust in HIM . God bless.

If it is hard for you do it face to face you can write them a letter. You can just explain how you are feeling and apologize to them. You just ask for forgiveness and also forgive yourself. No one is perfect in this world except for Jesus Christ. We all make mistakes as I am sure your family and friends have as well. We all have faults and as we continue to grow and learn we become a better person. Don't change to please other people. You are the person God created to be. I am sure there are a lot of wonderful traits that you have. Your family and friends will forgive you and things will work out. You talk about doing things that you failed at. Question for you what are the things you have done that were successful? I am sure there are a lot of nice things you have done for your family and friends that they appriciated. Peace Be With You

Hello, You are not the first one or the only one in the history of mankind who has made mistakes. We all make mistakes. Everyone of us has failed some or all of those who are around us. Saying sorry isn't that necessary. Your words here sounds like you've been through repentance enough. That repentance has already cleansed your soul. Repentance alone can make one a completely new man. Just imagine you are born again. There are so many ways to say sorry to human beings. But the only way to say sorry to God is through sincere repentance. You don't have to directly ask for forgiveness. Just get rid of your ego first. If you approach people with inflated ego, you will only hurt yourself and others. The best way to imply that you are sorry is to approach those people and to ask for their advice. You should first admit that you've failed to fulfill their expectations and messed up everything for which you are feeling sorry. Then tell them that you want to live a new life. You want to change yourself, you want to change everything around you in a positive direction. But please don't get disheartened if they say something negative, or scolds you. There are few positive things in scolding itself. Be optimist, be courageous. I've participated in your other discussion, but my post was deleted. I know I am a flame. People get burnt. But once you burn yourself in a flame like this, you become immortal. God bless you

saying sorry is not easy but i am happy that your a very courageous person to admit your mistakes. there are different ways to say sorry. you can either send them a little notes on how you feel or call the but in anyway the best approach is on how sincere your sorry is.
