For me, it was about asking forgiveness and setting things right, if possible. Many times, just me staying sober and practicing the 12 steps in all my affairs is "living amends" for things that I cannot actually "fix". Now, for their resentments and stuff...well, not mine.
Also, it was not a laundry list of "here is what I did to you". It was more of a restoration of a relationship, not the tally of misdeeds to grovel about. I never scraped before anyone during my amends, but I remained as humble as I knew how.
