Killer Barriers to Apologizing in Communication

Let's say that you can not bring yourself to apologize. The benefits of apologizing are not built enough reason for you to continue the pleasure and avoid pain in apologizing. Perhaps you have experienced excessive workload and stress. Maybe you do not have the courage to the person face-to-face confrontation. If this is the case, I advise you to build your confidence and throw away your pride. You will be glad you did.
We often do not apologize for fear. The primary fear I think people have the idea that when apologizing apologizing put down your protective shield making you vulnerable to attack by the other person. You fear the consequences of your actions. People with this fear think the problem is best in the dark and apologizing will bring it to light and worsen the problem.
Part of this fear can really work because the subject you are discussing could be bottled up inside of you and the other person. By apologizing you could open a bottle of soda. Depending on the severity you two are shaken, much fizz could splash. Anger, confrontation and frustration will shoot-out when one of you awakened and are not open to the other person.
Humble, calm, and losing an egocentric approach will ensure that this controlling fear not prevent you to apologize. If the anxiety is low, you just need to tell the person you fear and why you already apologize. That itself is really powerful and opens up communication law because it is part of effective communication skills in relationships
When apologize or try to apologize, it helps to keep in mind that afraid of the person comes from the desire to protect yourself. You have a fear of responsibility for your own actions. Do not expect the person to treat you like an angel. After all, you have ruined you would otherwise not be excused in the first place. If you do not own now, it will probably come back at you in a harder way, at a worse time.
Another likely obstacle to apologize was afraid to apologize signals weakness. With this idea you think the other person receives a superior power over you. "Bahaha. I'm better than you. You apologize!" Yeah right. By not excuse you are weak, because you have an imbalance between the courage to apologize and your ego.
There is much more to apologize, forgiveness and emotional freedom I encourage you to learn more about. As you discover more about these topics, you will learn how to free yourself from the past, let us keep mistakes of history, and happy at the moment barrier bottles.
