Prepare an apology for a specific action

Name what you did and its impact without making the apology conditional on the other person’s reaction.

Try this

  1. Write the action, the impact you understand and the change you intend to make.
  2. Remove conditional phrases that make the apology depend on whether the other person was hurt. Keep any request for further conversation separate.

A worked example

“I interrupted you twice. I’m sorry. I want to hear the part I cut off.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Offer a concrete change and avoid asking for immediate reassurance that everything is fine.
