One day,some of the girls in our neighborhood started acting a bit strangely towards me.They
talking to me.After a day or so of this,I finally
what was going on.I'd said something to a(n)
girl the night before that she didn't like.I'd had a few
that night, and like everyone I sometimes say things that
severer than I mean them to.
Anyway,it seemed that the girl had told many of her friends,and now they were all
at me.They found a great
to think of all the other supposed“crimes”I'd committed over the past year.
they'd all really liked me before, suddenly they
I was a really bad guy.
This was a difficult problem.I
to get along well with these people and I liked them all.I didn't want them to
me because of something stupid I'd said when I was drunk.It didn't
much whether they or I was wrong.All I wanted was things to be
to normal again.
So I wrote the popular girl a note
saying:“I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.I didn't mean to”.And that was it.The problem was solved.
.the girls who were angry with me now liked me
than ever.They felt I'd done something
in admitting I was wrong and apologizing.
Learn how and when to
.Often,the pride and stubbornness you hold onto by refusing to back down isn't worth the
of a lasting argument.An apology can
for healing a difficult situation.And often, people will think better of you for it.
