How do you verbalize to someone that you're terrified to make a mistake? The misunderstanding was cleared up. The conversation allowed that person to understand that what they thought was someone being deliberately inconsiderate was very unintentional. The person was allowed to say sorry for their thoughtlessness and was forgiven. But prior to the chance for a defense, a punishment by retaliation in the form of hurtful words was delivered harsh and left a lingering sting still felt now. When the air was cleared for the one party's side, the other party was still hurt not only by not having been given the benefit of the doubt that they feel has been earned; but by the very painful blow delivered.
So, while this person treated guilty until proven innocent is no longer viewed as the criminal, the punisher still doesn't understand that they caused pain too.
If you punch someone because you thought they deserved it, then found out they didn't, would you not say sorry for the hit?There may still be a black eye and possible scars.
The hurt party remains hurt while the other party now feels better.
Tears are still flowing from this entire scenario.
But how do you verbalize that now the other party has said they feel better and moved on?
