Here are 10 alternatives to 'I didn't mean it' that you can use:
- I apologize for my words/actions
- I'm sorry for what I said/did
- It was thoughtless of me to say/do that
- I regret my words/actions
- My words/actions were insensitive
- I didn't realize the impact of my words/actions

It's important to remember that actions speak louder than words. Along with apologizing, it's crucial to make amends and show that you have learned from your mistake. Take the time to listen, empathize, and actively work on improving your communication skills.
