Hey ya'll, so I went to a family reunion over this last Christmas break - was manic the entire time, and I proceeded to do some really dumb things, and say some downright hurtful things to a lot of my relatives. Have any of ya'll had similar experiences, and if so, how did you deal with it/mend those relationships?

Everyone just ignore what happend and moves on. I say sorry but that's it.

Well, what happened in the past you cannot change. The best thing you can do is apologize for what you did and work with the people you hurt to prevent this sort of situation from happening again. I think if they see you apologizing and making an effort to change yourself, they may be willing to forgive you. If they do not want to forgive you, don't fret; you may have to "prove" yourself. However, if this is a repeated behavior, I'm not sure how they'll react to you apologizing, but I still think it's worth apologizing anyway.

It never does any harm to apologize.

I second this. Best wishes.

It wouldn't hurt to apologize. I have, quite a few times.
