#85 - I'm Sorry You Feel That Way - How To Apologize For Real with Kevyn Fong


Listen Later

So you messed up. You made a big mistake, maybe even hurt someone, & now you just need to apologize. Simple right? Not usually. If you're a normal human being, communicating a sincere apology can be anxiety-inducing, annoying, embarrassing, or just downright terrifying. And even on the receiving end, there's laundry list of non-apologies that people love to throw around, like the super common "I'm sorry you feel that way" or "that wasn't my intention." How does one actually give an apology, and also, why is it so hard? To dive into this layered topic, Minji sits down with her friend Kevyn Fong to share their perspectives, experiences, & advice on becoming a better human who can own up to their mistakes. They talk everything from public professional flubs (HI, SHANE GILLIS), minor friendship/dating infractions, & healing fights with loved ones.
