When you make a mistake but refuse to apologize, the other person receives three unspoken messages:
“The problem is yours.”
“I do not respect you.”
“I do not value our relationship.”
But when you say, “I’m sorry,” a completely different message is conveyed:
“It’s my fault.”
“I respect you.”
“I value our relationship.”
