Is it a sign of weakness to apologize?
Hi !!!
Answering your question .. of course not !!!!!!!!
Wrong is human, is a common defect completely normal, but apologizing is a virtue, is something that not many people can do.
It is not easy to apologize, much less it is accepted by the person offended since most of the time can more personal ego and pride, than admit that we have done something wrong that may have affected another.
When we can differentiate that and accept that we have really done wrong or is our fault, it is something totally mature.
And it is something incredible as it is hard to tell someone that we have made mistakes or apologize when that word is used daily ... if we stumble on someone in the street we say "excuse", if we interrupt someone when he speaks we also say the same, or if we want to ask for the word ... really that word can be said that we use it every day but at the moment of being personal and of telling someone that we made a mistake we are totally inhibited thanks to our pride.
Many times we have to apologize to our partner because we did something wrong, because you are afraid of losing her and do not want to hurt her, or to our parents for having given a bad response, there are even those who apologize to their children, their brothers, their friends .. and we do it because we feel appreciation for those people and we do not want to hurt them or lose them.
There are those who apologize for whatsapp, or for an instagram story, there are those who call by phone or who prefer to do face to face, all those are valid to apologize, the important thing is that you express yourself. The people who write do it because they are better than when they see you, because when they see that person they usually attack their nerves and lose their words and that is totally valid.
The important thing when apologizing is not how you do it, but the words you use, never apologize talking about you alone, or blaming the other person, or putting a but in prayer. If you are going to make an apology, make sure that it is really honest and not because of obligation because if it does not help, since you will probably make the same mistake, always be honest and speak with the truth of how you feel and how you do not You want to hurt that person.
So definitely apologize is not a sign of weakness, on the contrary, it is a sign of courage and maturity, apologizing is something magical that will make you feel better, it will make you relax and improve relationships.
If you have a partner and you know you were wrong ask for an apology, the same with your parents, or your friends; never lose someone you appreciate for pride not knowing how to recognize a mistake made.
I'm a person who is not proud, so to apologize is much easier, I appreciate too much the people around me to lose them for something silly.
So if you were wrong and apologized for CONGRATULATIONS, you are a great person, with a big heart and a great maturity ..
regards!!
