What should you do if you have hurt someone?

What do you do when you've hurt someone you care a lot about?

I've hurt someone (accidentally) and I would really like to know what's the best way to handle this.

Apologize. Keep it blunt and too the point. Don't mince words. 31
Apologize and Give a detailed explaination as to why. 39
Avoid them; contact will only drag out their suffering. 3
Do whatever you want - you don't owe anyone an explanation. 8

    Just ignore it for as long as possible and hope they forget about it.
    Or you can do the right thing and apologize. But i was always told I wouldn't have done it in the first place if i were going to be sorry for it. So, no excuses!! Just make it up to em by never doing it again.

    An honest apology and hopefully they will forgive you, but it doesn't always work out that way, unfortunately.

  • I like the second option. If I were hurt unintentionally, I wouldn't expect an apology and an explanation, but I would like one.
