Saying "I'm sorry" w/o actually saying "I'm sorry"... cuz saying "I'm sorry" (a lot) is REALLY unappealing!!!
Tenderness of heart, overly rueful, *pitifully bad* (my favorite), zealously penitent, eyes downcast, woefully regretful, "I messed up", remorseful...
It's funny, as I practice each one, I can't help but say "I'm sorry" before or after the phraze.
This could be daunting.
Stressful...
*sigh*
Should have listened to Grandma Shirley...
