Apologies Should Be Sincere to Be Effective.

Sincerity is heartfelt.

Sincere apologies have feelings.

They are usually genuinely communicated.

The regrets, remorse, and sorry are heartfelt sincere.

You likely experienced some of them.

No doubt, there are those insincere ones that get thrown at you from time to time.

You know and feel them.

You probably offload some of them yourself —

"Sorry, but it's not my fault."

"I'm sorry, but you cause it on yourself."

"Sorry you feel that way, but …."

"Sorry. Sorry. Sorry."

Are words said with little meaning or thought — They lack the sincerity an apology deserves — used only to dismiss a conflict, situation, or shut you up.

But when an apology is used only as a tactic to move on from a hurtful argument or something you've done or said that offends someone; It most likely could escalate into an even worst situation.

The slightest thing then triggers a reminder. Time passed, but the healing has yet to begin.

So it wasn't unusual, as was the case with my future mother-in-law.

Each plan her son and I make, her past words keep getting in the way.

You see, she never truly apologized for the unkind and hurtful things she once said to me. Her judgment of me without knowing anything calls for an apology.

We had a personal conversation recently. I refreshed her memory with the hurt she caused and how it still affects me. But instead of offering a sincere apology, she casually brushed my words off as though they have no meaning. "Let's move on from the past," she said, with little regard for my feelings.

She even tried to make me feel bad for having the conversation.

She cast the blame on me instead.

But It's my belief; apologies must be authentic to be effective. Barring no one — age, rank, or position.

Selfishly trivializing, the hurt you've caused someone is not only unfair but unkind.

The receiver should feel your remorse, empathy, and regret when you apologize. Otherwise, your apology is useless and defeats its true purpose.

Sincere apologies promote forgiveness and healing, so you can confidently say, let bygone, be bygone.

Admitting you're wrong is hard and takes a lot of courage. An apology may require double the effort but shows you're man enough to own up to your wrong.

A caring person knows the value of a sincere apology. These persons are not arrogant or egotistic. They know the value of respecting other's feelings. The kind of respect they themselves expect from others.

Sincere apologies determine the effective outcome of conflict resolution.

It dictates how relationships get restored, how pain subsides. It's the balm we all need to heal from an unpleasant situation.

Only then can everyone involved genuinely move on from a hurtful past.

So here is my advice —

The next time an apology is warranted from you — Apologized sincerely, or don't do it at all.

And if, like me, the apology you seek never comes along, remember Robert Brault's words."Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got."
