I have this friend Justin, who’s very emotional. Like, one minute he’s laughing, and the next minute he’s like totally depressed. Some little thing happens, and he was like “I am so upset”. I guess he’s like too sensitive. Actually, he’s like me. Maybe that’s why we get along. We’ve been friends for like 10 years.

1. Because that solves the small problem and keeps it from getting bigger.
2. Because many of us are ashamed or have too much pride.
3. For a small thing, say you’re sorry right away. For a bigger thing, take the time to sit down, look the person in the eye, and apologize honestly.
