Though the maid is right, someone can also feel so helpless about you being sad they apologize to you... Without exactly thinking it through and having a bit of panic to answer... Does that mean they are not sincere? I disagree. But indeed, if the one gets angry it is something else. But there IS a difference, in my opinion.

I think it depends on the situation. But regardless it’s a good question. It’s makes the the one who is being apologized to secure and sure that the person apologizing is sincere. As for the one apologizing, it would make them think for heavily on how there actions affected their partner so they can be mindful about not doing it again. The biggest perk to this question is that the two will fully understand each other leaving no doubt or misunderstanding between the two over the situation.

Hmm, agreed and it is psychologically also a good exercise too. Just something to add in my opinion:
But it would mean taking the time to talk things out. Not only time though, also mental energy for both parties. A fight/argunent consumes quite a lot (example: i have emotion troubles and a slight autistic bf: it takes loads of energy). But the most important factor is being brave: if you don't understand it why you /something made someone sad, even though you apologized, be brave to tell them you do not exactly understand their sadness but you hate to see them sad. Sometimes, especially in modern soceity, you give the 'political correct answer' without realizing. And thats fine: aslong as you find the time and energy to fix it though. Step by step.
Thanks for season 1!
