Your Type
Your apologies are specific and sincere; you make sure you understand what went wrong before saying sorry, so they feel your sincerity instead of a brush-off. This habit of "over-pursuing a perfect apology" actually masks your deep fear of "relationship breakdown and losing love"; you fear that if your apology isn't profound enough, the other person will leave you forever, so you use "extreme sincerity and self-analysis" to ensure you won't be abandoned. But over-examining yourself can sometimes strip the lightness from a relationship. Try offering just a simple smile or hug next time there's a minor friction; when you learn to trust that an imperfect apology won't destroy love, you can breathe freely in your relationships.
