3 Birth Months Who Are Bad At Giving Apologies

Some birth months are skilled in the art of apologies. Theyโ€™ll know exactly what to say in order to make you feel better again, so it wonโ€™t be long until your trust in them is restored. However, other signs arenโ€™t the best when it comes to owning up to their mistakes and fixing problems. Here are some zodiac who arenโ€™t exactly great at giving apologies, even though theyโ€™re trying their hardest:

April

On the bright side, April are always going to own up to their mistakes. They arenโ€™t embarrassed to admit when they messed up and when they should have made different choices. However, this sign is incredibly blunt. They might not apologize in the sweet, sensitive way that you were expecting. They wonโ€™t sugarcoat anything. Even worse, they will probably want to move on from the problem quickly. They wonโ€™t want to dwell on the fact that they hurt you. After they say what needs to be said, they will feel like itโ€™s time to move on and forget that the fight ever happened. They have a quick temper and get over things quickly, so they assume others will do the same. It can be hard for them to accept when their apology is not automatically accepted, when people need time to cool down from what happened.ย 

July

When those born in July make a mistake, they spend a lot of time feeling sorry for themselves because they are always so tough on themselves. They hold themselves to a high standard and feel miserable when they realize theyโ€™ve fallen short. Unfortunately, that means their apologies can come out in a way that forces you to comfort them โ€” and you might resent them for that. July natives arenโ€™t trying to make you feel guilty about getting angry at them, but that might be exactly how you feel when they start tearing up and talking about how disappointed they are with themselves. July-born individuals genuinely mean it when they say that they hate themselves for hurting you, but that approach isnโ€™t always what you want to hear. You want to be the one crying, not them. You want to be the one being comforted, not them.

December

December commonly use jokes to lighten up tense situations โ€” but thatโ€™s not always what you want to hear when youโ€™re fuming. You might feel like they arenโ€™t taking a problem seriously enough because theyโ€™re cracking jokes, even though they really do understand the weight of the conversation and are simply trying to help you feel better. This sign is also pretty impulsive, so they wonโ€™t always think through their apology beforehand. They will blurt out whatever theyโ€™re feeling and could accidentally phrase things in a way that makes everything worse. Although this sign is willing to work hard to make up for what theyโ€™ve done to you, their apologies wonโ€™t always sound great on paper. The delivery could use some work so that it doesnโ€™t seem like theyโ€™re taking a serious situation and making a joke out of it.
