How would I apologize to someone I wronged because they prevented me from getting revenge?

Question

I was going to hurt somebody because his buddy talks too much S**t, but somebody stopped me. I hurt that person and think, maybe, I should apologize. What do you think?

Answer 1

It would be kind of you to apologize to them. Even if you did not hurt them. It would be a stand up thing to do. I'd really respect that if some one did that for me. And this person would too.

Answer 2

That's the problem with acting vengeful with anger.  Next time calm down a bit, and try to keep on target.

Answer 3

I think, by the sounds of it you are an a**ehole or a fantasist.

Answer 4

Apologise and go to anger management classes

Answer 5

There is no special way.  You say to them "I am sorry" and you explain what you are sorry about.  They either accept your apology or they do not.  If your looking for a formula that ensures their forgiveness there is none but most people are satisfied with a sincere apology when it is offered.  Many may want to lecture a bit when you apologize and you probably deserve that so accept it with an open mind and a patient ear.
