A suggestion of a three-step process for resolution.
Immediately after you understand that someone is upset with something you have done or said, then perhaps there's a way to systematically go about this.
Number one.
Say you're sorry and mean you're sorry. Not sorry, but say sorry, how can I fix this?
Number two,
Try your best to fix it, do whatever you can.
Once you've completed this, you can move to number three, which is compartmentalisation. Everyone makes mistakes; some people are less sorry, and fewer people try to fix it and redress the balance.
But in the end, not everyone will accept that, and that becomes their problem.
There is a time when we all have to move on but not all of us can, give someone the opportunity to move on and if they can't, put it in a box and you move on.
