I read your question and all the answers already sent in.
By the sincerety of your desire to fix the problem as is transparent in your question, you have won so many people who wish you well.Their advice has been that a sincere and simple apology (without getting into explanations and arguments) and giving the other party sometime to reflect over the matter and your apology should help them cool down while you get time to behave according to your sincere apology .If unfortunately the other party is still unable to accept your apology , it is their problem and you have done your self-purification.To err is human but to have the courage to own up the responsibility and face it, is divine. Good luck

Just apologize. Just say what you have to say and don't try to force a conversation because it might make the person more upset. If they don't believe it fine, (and even though this is easier said than done) then don't worry about it. Say sorry, let them cool off, then go for it again when that person is less angry.

If you find your self saying sorry a lot then don't! My teacher used to tell us "don't say your sorry, show me your sorry"! Who ever you did it to or what ever you did if you can show that person your sorry then it will mean more then saying it. I also like to throw in something like this " The best I can do is show you how sorry I am, but I cant show you in less you give me the chance to! Give me one more chance to show you what I have learned from what has happened. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt you, and I would like to make it up to you. Give me a shot!" That usually gets me in the door but from there you have to fix things by showing them what you learned from what you did wrong. Good Luck, I hope I helped.

Instead of just saying sorry ask "how can I fix this?" Listen to the person, then do exactly as you are asked no matter how hard it is. Then check in with them a day or so later and say I'm sorry again.

If your truely sorry for what you do, you don't repeat the mistake again. You need to grow up and take responsibiliy for your actions. Unfotunately the price for your lesson may be losing someone or something you care about. Words are very easy little girl......actions speak much louder.

Just be sincere and honest and apologize. Whether or not they accept it or believe you is on them - at least you did what you know is right by apologizing. Sometimes people need time to cool down and realize that they need to forgive.

My opinion is that you should wait a while until things have eased up. If this is a reoccuring screwup, maybe you should start by changing a few things before you even attempt an apology
Good luck

Apologies are not for the person wronged. They are for the person making the apology. It is a way of taking responsibility for your actions, for taking control of your situation and accepting that it's up to you to change your behavior. If you are genuine in desiring this, it does not matter how the other person takes it.

Explain in detail how sorry you are and assure them you will never do or say whatever you did or said ever again. But remember, always keep your promises. Trust is a big thing with me. I trust no one. My trust is earned, not handed out.
