2. Focus on the impact: Describe the consequences of your actions without blaming yourself or the other person. For example, "I realize my words hurt you" or "I'm sorry for the inconvenience my behavior caused."

3. Offer amends: Suggest ways to make up for the situation without directly apologizing. This could include offering a genuine gift, performing a kind gesture, or simply giving the other person time and space.
