You can apologize over and over

When you care for someone and something happens in the relationship is it not normal for one to apologize?  If an apology is given, by someone that cares surely that’s the end of the behavior that caused the apology…right?

But if it keeps happening again and again does that mean the person does not care enough to correct their actions?  What about people like me…I seem to apologize all the time for things.

One day it dawned on me, subconsciously I always think I am wrong…oh-oh.  Words like low self esteem, come to mind.  Or could it be that I do not like confrontations of any type, and will quickly apologize to settle things?

Apologies are something I am really really working on.  I believe actions do speak louder than words, so watching someone’s eyes when they apologize helps to see if sincerity is present.  What I really like about an apology is it means someone cared enough to make sure there was no hurt feelings.  But the best thing about an apology is it normally opens a dialogue between two people where some clarification is needed. I try my very best to always show kindness and compassion when an “amends” is made.  I want to forgive others as much as I want them to for give me…right?

Communication with a sincere explanation, and it doesn’t have to contain an apology.  I love it when people can sit down and talk be honest to each other and grow from it.  That’s my goal in life for all the “Amends” I still need to make.
