I’ve blogged about apologies before. They carry a lot of weight with me. We’re human, we make mistakes, we learn.

Just as I don’t trust people who can’t apologize, I’m also wary of people who can’t accept a heartfelt apology. It says more about you if nothing short of perfection is enough.

@manton I’m not sure I’m 100% accurate on recognizing heartfelt apologies but otherwise yes. 😀

@manton Admitting a mistake is important. Taking responsibility even if it’s not your mistake is better.

@manton big thing for me is demonstrating change, or at least effort to change. Repeated apologies - however meaningful - get harder and harder to accept.

@brandonscript Fair point. Apologies shouldn't be hollow.
