I’m Sorry, Please Don’t Be Mad
What it does
Visible remorse offered before disappointment can harden into anger.
Use it when
- You owe a sincere apology.
- A mistake has inconvenienced someone you care about.
- Contrition matters more than explanation.
For example
- You shrink a borrowed sweater despite following the label.
- The surprise cake leans noticeably to the east.
- You forgot the reusable bags after reminding everyone else.
