What to do when you have been ungrateful

[Bolzano]

Hi all,

i have an issue that is pretty much eating me up these days.
i have someone who i feel has helped me a lot in the corporate world (though this person refuses to admit it). Many things happened, i heard stories about this person, people telling me things and i became influenced by them and developed an unreasonable grudge against this person. I really cannot even explain why i had this grudge. I became paranoid and thought this person wasnt really me which was definitely not the case.
I have came to my sense and realise how foolish i was.
I have this feeling i have been ungrateful and it is hard for me to live with it all the more i have been raised with the sense of always thanking people for what they do.
Now, i want to apologize to this person.
There were no conflit between us just me sometimes behaving foolishly towards this person.
I dont know how i can apologize and what to do with this feeling i have been ungrateful.

Perhaps just a simple, "I've done some foolish things lately, and I want to apologize,"?

I was thinking of doing this. Just send an email and state this.
What stopped me was that, i'm in a working place where such "sentimentalism" could be counted against me...
i'll probably end up doing that
but was wondering if anyone has been in such a situation...

We "All" have this tendency to overreact to our surroundings things aren't as bad as they seem.. sounds like the devil is using the pitchfork again.. if it were me I'd just go and apologize "honesty is the well you know the rest..

Because it is the best way, talk with this person face-to-face.

Thank the person for all he/she has done to assist you, whether he/she is aware of it or no ... and then apologize.

We each can have a case of the 'stupids' from time to time. So please don't guilt-trip out on this. Instead, open your heart in prayer for forgiveness from our Lord. He listens to our prayers!

I haven't been in that situation but if sentimentalism is looked down upon or held against you, perhaps just informing him about your new attitude is all you need to do.

thanks all
i think AirDancer is right, a face-to-face would probably be more meaningful
an advice from this situation to all
forge your own opinion on people and dont listen to bad mouths :verysad
