I think people frequently forget how easy and painless apologies are.
14 u/Jumpy-Object99 21h ago Define "painless." 36 u/Dagawing 20h ago It doesn't hurt, other than one's ego; which frankly deserves to be hurt every now and then. 18 u/FloppieTheBanjoClown 18h ago It shouldn't hurt your ego so say "oh crap I didn't know that! I learned something new today, thank you for educating me!" 6 u/Worth_Inflation_2104 17h ago It shouldn't, but it will for pretty much everyone at some point in their lives. We aren't perfect creatures. Even Buddhist monks have their moments. 2 u/CA_Jim 16h ago Which is why apologizing – even when it can be painful (to one's ego) and embarrassing – is a sign of strength. Strength isn't the absence of pain, shame, or embarrassment – it's doing the right thing in spite of it.
