As I gained confidence as a man, I was able to skillfully take the lead in my relationship, in a way that felt good to my partner. I became attractively assertive.
But I’ll tell you something. Do you know what else takes confidence? Apologizing cleanly.
With no defensiveness. And not to placate or manage her feelings. Just a clear, honest expression of regret.
I didn’t get good at apologizing — or rather, I didn’t really understand what an apology was — until I was further along in the development of my own self-esteem.
