We are trapped in what we think of ourselves by holding onto our pride. We can be selfish and not willing to admit our most obvious mistakes. Pride eats away at us as we argue or ignore the mistake. It's happened to me. Ihave had too much pride and selfishness to apologize to a loved one Ihurt. When Idid want to apologize, Icouldn't bring myself to face the other person. This is the pride I'm talking about. Maybe apologies come difficult for men because they're expected to be dominant (占优势的). It's like the joke that aman never asks for directions when lost. Ladies are more emotionally open than guys and are willing to express it. Still, both genders wonder how to correctly apologize. In shifting the focus on apologizing away from you, what does not apologizing do to other people? They feel hurt that you are not willing to communicate your mistake. They lose trust in you as you hide behind your mistake avoiding reality. They become angry with you, wondering why you do not tell them the truth. They may begin to counter your lack of apologies by not apologizing themselves and from this the relationship goes downhill as the two of you get caught in apower struggle. You need to communicate your mistakes. Amistake you made is like ascratch and by not apologizing you are making the scratch adeeper wound and rubbing salt into it. You need to stop hurting the other person and yourself by learning to apologize.
