Should I apologise to someone who lashed out?
I messed up in a university group project and pissed someone off. The whole time we’d not taken that project seriously and I thought no one cared about it but it turned out she did. She lashed out as a result. I apologised to the other 3 people involved in the project but this girl’s reaction took me so aback that I couldn’t bring myself to sending an apology message.
Weeks have passed and she’s still angry at me. Other people in the group have apologised to her and she’s cool with them, I think she expected me to do the same, but I’m torn between knowing she’s right and I messed up, and thinking lashing out is never justified (I’ve apologised to people in the past for exploding like that even if I was right).
Advice: apologise or not?
