Hi antony2best! I do say sorry if it was my fault. It will be very difficult for me to say sorry or apologize if it was not my fault and most of the time, I wouldn't at all. And I hate it when people say sorry all the time but hurt you just the same again and again. Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

Well I guess it is really a humbling experience to say an apology to someone you committed mistakes too. Well I guess its pretty normal for you to feel this way but I say to you once you said it it would release you from your guilt especially when the person you are apologizing would acknowledge your plead. So just think that there is nothing wrong with it and practice it then it will become a ntural act for you when things do go wrong.

As for me "sorry" is not a hard word for me. I always say sorry when I think I hurt someone or when I know I did/say something wrong or when I don't want to make things worst. My manager always telling me that one thing she likes in me is I always apologize when I know when I'm wrong and never pointing out some excuses and very true in 'Sorry by not making the same mistakes again. Thanks and good day!

I don't think that saying I'm sorry is beneath me or what I percieve me to be. I do however think that saying "sorry" is not the proper way to apologize. So I will say I apologize for whatever I need to. Sorry sometimes is just the wrong word.

Yes, I also feel a bit of hesitation but I always try to overcome it and admit my mistake (or any other thing went wrong)and most of the time I'm able to say sorry.

I will say sorry if i know and i think i'm in the wrong.. Or maybe to salvage a certain situation in life, i will say sorry too.. It's not that i'm someone who's scare of getting into trouble, or being soft hearted, or even weak.. But i just think on the overall situation and if it can minimise things, i will do it no matter what.. BUt to some, saying of sorry is just like losing of face or pride for them.. BUt it's not that case.. SOmetimes a simple sorry can even solve the most complicated cases.. haha

Oh, I hate having to say I'm sorry, even though I know its my fault, but I don't want to admit I'm wrong. I do that with my husband, sometimes we get into a disagreement, and its usually something I started, something stupid, and later as I'm thinking about what we said or did, I feel guilty and I know I need to apologize, but saying I'm sorry is so hard to do, I know its probably hard for a lot of people to do, like you said.

Saying sorry when you are at fault and you mean it is humbleness. I think each one should know how to say sorry when needed. This is a magical word. It is one word that once spoken with sincerity can bring back joy and mend up relationship. So my friend, don't be a afraid to say sorry. It is making you more of a man if you know how to be humble in admitting your fault.
