No one is perfect.We all mess up(搞砸)now and then.It can 36 a little bit to rememberthat most people have been in the 37 you’re in—hurting several people’s feelings.What makes the difference is what you do next. 38 can go along way toward h
ealing(治愈) hurt or angry feelings.It takes 39 to step up and admit what you did was 40 .Try saying,
“What I said the other day was 4l insensitive of me.I shouldn’t have said that.I just want to say I’m sorry.”
When we say sorry, we 42 to be sincere to show we feel sorry about how hurt another person may be.If an apology is more about 43 and how we can benefit,it might not seem true.
Another element of saying sorry is to let the person know you’re not going to let it 44 again.You could tell your friends,“I’m going to be more aware of what I 45 and say about people in the future.I’ll make an effort(努力) to be 46 and more positive about people,and not to 47 behind their backs—especially when it’s my friends.”
If you can’t bring yourself to have a 48 in person,write a note.Whichever way you 49 to communicate, be sure that you’d feel comfortable if anything you say is 50 with other friends,too.
Hopefully,your friends can stop being angry with you.But don’t be 51 if it doesn’t happen instantly.Some people are quick to 52 .Others may have to think about what you said and need 53 to get over hurt feelings or anger , or to regain trust.Do your best with the part that’s up to you.The rest is up to them.
Stop being angry with yourself,too.You can learn from your 54 .Being too self-critical can’t help you.Move forward.Focus your energies on trying to make things right 55 working on your good intentions!
