" \nIf you&amp;#039;ve been watching this season of The Bachelor, you probably know all about Courtney Robertson. This 28-year-old model has made it to bachelor Ben Flajnik&amp;#039;s top two\u2014and she&amp;#039;s made puh-lenty of enemies along the way. Some highlights: Courtney announced on the show that she&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;not impressed by these women\u2014or girls. I don&amp;#039;t even think they&amp;#039;re women&amp;quot; and told some departing contestants, &amp;quot;Bye! Can&amp;#039;t stand you all!&amp;quot; She also made a habit of smirking and sniffing the flowers she received in the rose ceremony while slyly eyeballing girls who were eliminated. Now, Courtney is suddenly talking about how sorry she is for the way she behaved. We&amp;#039;re not sure we buy into her apology, but we do get that everyone makes bitchy comments that they later regret. So, what should you do if you have a Courtney moment? According to psychologist Paul Coleman, PsyD, you need to take responsibility for your bitchiness, and take some time to think about why you acted the way you did.  Maybe you trashed a coworker because you&amp;#039;re secretly afraid she&amp;#039;ll get promoted over you, or you laughed about a girl&amp;#039;s crazy cleavage at a party, when really you were jealous that guys kept staring at her. In Courtney&amp;#039;s case, she probably felt threatened by the competition. Whatever it was, your apology will be more sincere when you know where you were coming from. Oh yeah\u2014if you were mean to someone&amp;#039;s face or it got back to them, you know you have to apologize, right? &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s crucial to apologize when you&amp;#039;ve upset someone else,&amp;quot; says psychologist Allen Berger, PhD. The best way to do it: Say you&amp;#039;re sorry, and that you know you were mean. Then say it was your issue that caused you to say whatever you said, and that you know it was completely unfair that you took it out on them.  Of course, it&amp;#039;s possible that someone won&amp;#039;t accept your apology. A lot of Courtney&amp;#039;s fellow contestants didn&amp;#039;t (really, we&amp;#039;re not sure we blame them)\u2014and sometimes that&amp;#039;s just what happens. &amp;quot;If you&amp;#039;re coming from a good, reflective place, you&amp;#039;ll realize that you did everything you could to make things better,&amp;quot; says Coleman.  Then, you need to move on\u2014and, in the future, try to keep the bitchy moments to a minimum. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
