Being The Friend Who Is Always Sorry

Throughout my life I have always found myself saying sorry. It’s not really a bad thing either. Yes, whatever I did to cause an apology wasn’t right but accepting my faults and saying sorry is never bad. Although, it’s a great thing to recognize your faults, it gets very exhausting when you’re the only one. I’ve been in friendships and relationships with many people who will never be wrong. They never say sorry, they’re always the victim. Have you felt this, or is it just me? Or maybe, you’re the one who never apologizes for their wrongs.

Whatever category you may fall into, you need to read this.

Being the friend who is always wrong can really bring you down. BUT DON’T CHANGE! Keep your head up and be proud of who you are. You’re mature enough to accept what you’ve done wrong in the situation, that is something to smile about. You’re the flower that is blooming into a beautiful, mature person rather than the dreary flowers who can never get enough water.

Begin to accept people for their faults, even if they don’t recognize them. Love your friends, family, significant other, or whoever for who they are. Never expect anyone to change. There are tons of things about my friends that makes me grind my teeth, but I love them so I just keep on grinding my teeth.

Forgive them, even if they do not apologize. Understand that they’re still growing. They don’t have the world figured out, but neither do you. One day they’ll look back on all the forgiveness they received from you and wish they would have appreciated it.

For those of you who think this is about you, or that the “shoe fits”… Maybe it’s time you look into the mirror and think about who you are. What makes you a victim? Have you never once been wrong?

We’ve all been wrong. Even if what the other person did was worse, you can and should  apologize for your part in the situation. Get over your victim mindset, it’s hurting the people who love you. Trust me, you’ll sleep better at night.

Best wishes.
