Sometimes I tend to forget this – An apology is enough!
In Romania, when you make a mistake, and you say „Sorry”/”Scuze”, sometimes the person doesn’t even look at you. You have to figure it out whether you’re pardoned or not.
The thing is, it doesn’t help the situation when you keep insisting on by saying „Sorry!”. OK, we got the message. If it was pardonable, it was forgiven the first time.
If the person doesn’t want to forgive you, insisting on the topic would likely only make things worse.
Note to self – Say „Sorry” once, try to compensate in some way for making a mistake, but don’t overreact. You are not actually Superman, no matter what you might think.
