Q. Is apologising considered a sign of weakness?

A. Apologising is appropriate when an individual acknowledges that they have made a mistake. One cannot apologise for something they are unaware of. Open communication about the matter is therefore beneficial.

You may sometimes accept differing opinions if the matter is minor or if the individual is at fault; in such cases, an appropriate apology should be offered.

If you don’t talk, then nobody ever knows that they have done something wrong.
