Apology Statement Generator

This tool is designed to help you get all the facts and fears out of your system before you have this crucial conversation, leaving you with a list of statements you can use when having the conversation.
This way, even though your palms may be sweating and your stomach tied up in knots, you won't forget anything you have to say, or get thrown off course by overwhelming fear and emotion in the moment.

The apology statement generator works kind of like a backwards form... but instead of picking which statements or concepts you agree with, you're going to dismiss the statements and concepts you disagree with.
Why do we do this process backwards like this?
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success.
We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do.
And probably... he who never made a mistake, never made a discovery.
Samuel Smiles (1812 - 1904)
The truth is that most people don't know how they feel, what they want, or where they stand on most issues.
BUT (big but!)... people DO know what they disagree with; in other words they know "what will not do".
For the most part, people are usually sure about what they don't like, what they don't want, and what they disagree with.
So, we've used this natural mental default to make this entire process easier for you.
Simply read through the statements listed below, one by one, and dismiss the statement if you disagree with it.
Let me say this carefully again... your task is to REMOVE the statements you disagree with - and ignore the statements that you don't disagree with. It's a process of elimination in other words.
Don't worry about how much you agree with the statement, or not; focus ONLY on removing the statements that you immediately disagree with.
At the end, what you're left with will be the balance of the statements, and this will be used to generate a crafted statement for you.
