Being human, it is normal to commit mistakes and hurt the one we love. But why It's really hard to say "I'm SORRY" to the person to whom we did wrong?? We can say SORRY as a word, how about "SORRY" that comes from the heart,sorry with meaning? If you did something wrong to your wife/husband and you know it's your fault, could you tell him/her "I'm sorry" that easy??? If you did something wrong to your parents and you know it's your fault, could you tell them,"Mom/Dad I'm sorry for not obeying your rules"?? Hurt you caused your friend, neighbor, other people, can you easily say "I'm SORRY?".
Sometimes when we did something wrong, we are trying to avoid the confrontation thereafter, coz we don't want to say "I'm SORRY", it's hard...
Do you think we are just trying not to accept the truth that we are the one who made the mistake, because saying "I'm Sorry" means acceptance that it's your fault? Or maybe we are just too shy to say it, because it's corny?
SORRY should be given and said to the one we hurt,isn't it? And when we said that we should mean it...But why it's really hard to say I'm Sorry?

I guess that you should have heard the song: "sorry seems to be the hardest word". Yea sorry is really hard to say, especially to loved ones. It can't just come out easily of your mouth. You have to pluck out a lot of courage to say that word. Well perhaps it's because by saying sorry, you're putting yourself down just to make others comfortable and the word itself is a little bit powerful to make our emotions go haywire, if you know what I mean.

It's really hard to Say that if you are really mad and if you really hate that people but It's better to forgive than to get angry with that person. Always remember that Don't do to others what you don't want to do unto you.. Right? Sometimes, it really takes time before you accept their apologies. Sometimes your'e waiting for your anger to lose before you say sorry right? But it should really come tou your heart..

this is one of my weaknesses, i can't say "I'm sorry" specially to my parents even though that it was my fault and even the word "I love you mom/dad"..Maybe it depends on how my parents raised us. I grew up as a very shy person, and for me the word "i love you or I'm sorry" that is pretty corny..I'm really trying hard to overcome this coz i know that it is so wrong.

Yes this is one of the hardest things really. Otherwise people would have felt easier to say this.
Reason is simple , for this a person will need to be enough flexible and greater by heart. Which is not easy.
I think this is really great to say sorry if you have commited any mistake.

A pleasant day to you Alyser10,
It is really indeed difficult to say sorry. Especially if you know in your self that what have you done is the right thing. However, there are times, saying sorry is really important especially if the person whom we intend to say this line is very important to us. The reason why there are some people who find it difficult to say sorry is their pride. Though in their heart, they feel to ask for a sorry for the wrongful attitude that they did, yet, their mind dictates not to do it. This is the main reason why I find other people find it hard to say this line "Im Sorry".
With the above, if all people will somehow swallow their pride and consider the importance of time that they can spend with on their loveones, maybe, they will not be hesitant to say "Im Sorry". Since, time is so short to waste it on arguments, wrong doings and airing our own pride.

To me saying sorry is not that quite a difficult task, and I believe that if anyone really is aware that a mistake has been committed, the best way is to say sorry and keep it in mind - DO NOT REPEAT this mistake again.
I believe, many people are quite egoistic and this ego is the main wall that doesn't allow you to look and accept the fact that you have committed a mistake. Again, many people who see that they are at fault, do not say sorry easily. That is because they feel that saying Sorry would make no difference. Many a times it does make a difference though there is a thin separation.
Lastly, if you get into the habit of saying sorry and keep repeating the same mistake over and over again, people would soon realize that you are bluffing (the next time you say sorry). So the Sorry to be effective means that you actually have noted that the fault was yours and you must try not to repeat that mistake.

I believe saying you are sorry is quite difficult, but living with a hurtful act as to surely be yet more difficult.
So saying I am sorry clears a persons conscious.
