A good apology doesn't include phrases like "I'm sorry BUT", or "I'm sorry you feel that way..." but instead takes ownership of what happened, validates your feelings, doesn't blame or manipulate, and includes action and follow through for an extended period of time (not just good behavior for a few weeks before falling back into the same pattern). Apologizing well can be scary and vulnerable, but ultimately keeps a relationship stable and healthy.

Having your feelings diminished, ignored, or rejected is a painful experience for all of us – but even more so if you’re a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or survivor of abuse or other trauma.

Edit: Yup, statement 2 often doesn’t feel like it applies to people in situations of abuse.
