Saying sorry or apologizing for the wrong things we may have made is not that all difficult if we are truly sincere in doing so. In order to get things right, we should start by accepting the fact that we have done someone or something wrong, then apologize to the person involved and be ready to face the consequence.

well its hard to say for sure with out knowing what the circumstances are. Generally when I need to apologize, I just say it flat out. Dont try to displace blame or make excuses, just admit to what you did. Be specific in your apology (say what you're apologizing for), and mean whatever you say. An apology is useless unless you mean it.

Sometimes apologies are TOO easy... and it's because they aren't really sincere. People will say they are sorry for something when they aren't... or they will apologize just to make someone else feel better. Sometimes they don't even know what they did wrong or why the other person is upset. They just say "sorry" and that's supposed to make everything better. I think, when apologizing, it's important to say what you are sorry for - something like "I'm truly sorry I broke the vase your grandmother gave you" or "I'm really sorry that I forgot to call you when I said I would". Acknowledge what you did to upset another person and then make a sincere apology. Saying "sorry" or "I won't do it again" without a statement of whatever the problem was, is just a way of trying to make someone else stop being angry or hurt.
