Thread: How Can I Apologize Without Saying Anything?

How can you apologize without actually saying the words "I'm sorry" or being apologetic?


I like this question because saying "I'm sorry" is one of the worst possible ways to apologize. Saying "I'm sorry" is lame. Of course you're sorry.

Proper apologies should have as many of the following elements as possible:
Admit responsibility.
Explain why what you did was wrong.
Demonstrate that you understand the impact on the person you harmed.
Detail how you are going (try) to fix what you did wrong.
Ask if there's anything else you can do. (Never ask for forgiveness. That's their business.)

For example, if you let your dog poop in your neighbor's yard . . .

Allowing my dog to poop in your yard was wrong. It was careless of me. I don't like it that you had to choose between leaving Agamemnon's poop in your yard or cleaning it up yourself. In the future, I'm going to keep track of what Agamemnon is doing and carry poopy bags so I can clean up after him. Is there anything else I can do to make this right?


Proper apologies do not include counter accusations. Get your side of things cleaned up first before you worry about their side.

It just occured to me--the question might mean "how can I apologize without admitting responsibility." If that's the case, you can't. That wouldn't be an apology. That's called trying to make yourself feel better without accepting responsibility.

One should always take responsibility for their actions.
