What do you do when you have done something that offended someone and after all the apologies you make, you can never appease the person? What if your sorry is not enough to suffice all the wrong things you've done? What do you do?
The disadvantage in being a Phlegmatic Melancholic (it's from the book "personality plus"...try taking the test...it's a cool one!) is the fact that i care what people say. Especially those people who are close to me. I was once accused of being a doormat to people who would take advantage of my "always say yes" attitude. After years of development, i think i've mastered saying "no"...sometimes...hehe! But if i see that doing someone a favor would boost my image with that person, i'll grab the opportunity...at first, i thought that it was a normal thing. But as i started being consistent with Bible Doctrine, i finally understood what it was. It's APPROBATION LUST...in short, i'm a people pleaser! And it's slowly killing me from the inside. Always compromising, even at the expense of my integrity. That's how low i am willing to go just for people to favor me.
That is why if i knew i did something that displeased someone, i make sure to make amends...but let's go back to my question. What if they don't accept your sincerest apologies? what now? what now?
