“I’m sorry.” Say those words. Don’t modify them. I’m sorry. Not “I’m sorry if” not “we’re both at fault”, not “are we good?” Say You Are Sorry. If the occasion calls for it, also say “I was wrong.”

Restate what you did. “I’m sorry, I spilled paint on your book.” Just sum up what you’re apologizing for - it seems dumb but it tells the other person that you know and care why they’re upset, and if you’re wrong about why they’re upset, they can correct you.

Fix what you can about the situation right now. “I’m sorry, I spilled paint on your book. I tried to clean it up, but I can buy you a new one.”

Tell them what you’ll do going forward, what are your next steps to fix it. “I’m sorry I spilled paint on your book. I tried to clean it off, but if you want me to, I can buy you another copy. I promise I won’t paint near your reading chair anymore.”

Listen to their response. If they agree to your proposed actions, implement them. If they correct the reason, take the time to understand it. Above all, they are not required to forgive you immediately.
