The one who does nothing is not mistaken. We all periodically commit rash acts that become serious mistakes. To prevent life from becoming one big problem, you just need the ability to admit your mistakes. How to do it competently and without harm to others?
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, be alone with yourself, admit your own guilt, whatever it may be. Do not dismiss your remorse, sort things out calmly, without getting carried away with self-flagellation. After forgiving yourself, tune in to a serious conversation with those who have been unwittingly harmed.
Step 2
If you, as a boss, are guilty of something in front of your subordinates, it is especially difficult to admit your guilt. But this is necessary so that you can work further without catching sidelong glances. Do not be afraid to drop your authority, be direct about what you did wrong. In this case, honesty is the best policy.
Step 3
For many, admitting mistakes in front of children means showing weakness. However, this is not the case. Explain to your child that adults can be wrong, but they are not afraid to discover their imperfections. Remember that when you apologize to your child, you shouldn't relax your normal demands on him.
Step 4
Has there been a family quarrel in which you feel guilty? Admit your mistake not only in words, try to correct what you have done, as much as possible, and think about how to avoid repeating this situation.
Step 5
Do not put any conditions on the one who has been offended. Let reconciliation be a general, voluntary decision without hidden ultimatums. Arrange a small home party in honor of this event to defuse the atmosphere completely.
Step 6
Often we do not want to admit our own mistakes for fear of retribution. It is so easy to remain silent, thereby casting a shadow on the innocent, especially if your mistake cost dearly not only you. Find the strength to confess in order to remove the stone from the soul. Whatever turns out to be, you will feel relief.
Step 7
Remember that admitting mistakes is not self-flagellation or a way to calm down. The main thing is to be honest with yourself, and then admitting your own mistake will become the next step in self-development.
