My soul will never allow me to sleep happy if i have done a mistake. Either the next day i will ask sorry whom i have done wrong against or do some good for them. I am sure many of you ask why you haven't done at first spot. Mistakes cant be done if they are known to be mistakes. I don't like to commit any sin if i know it is bad. I repent for a mistakes. Even though time is precious we should have a reason to live. So when it comes to asking sorry if i had done a mistake, I always go and ask it. I will win or lose. That doesn't matter for me. I will have a good sleep and start a better tomorrow. Share your thoughts on the same.

Yes, when I found myself worthy of mistakes then it is just to repent and have sorry for it. Making mistakes is not the hinder for us to move on. IN fact mistakes are made in order to adjust in the next situation. But making the same mistakes again is another story. One must realize the mistakes done and must seek ways to improve and move on not to commit the same mistakes again.

I listen to my gut. If it hurts then it is up to me to pay attention and fix whatever it is that is making it hurt....It usually means that deep down I know that I've done something wrong that doesn't ring true to who I really am. At that point i will do whatever to make it right even if that means losing the respect of someone I care about. It's a learning lesson.

Nobody likes to make mistakes. it can feel like a sense of failure, but it is something we call have to experience at one time or another. i try to face my mistakes and repent them and deal with them. Running away or hiding from your mistakes is futile. The mistake will still be there. Finding a way to live with a mistake and correcting it is the best course to take.

When I am aware of making a mistake that hurt someone, I apologize for my mistake and when I pray I ask for forgiveness of my sin, even those that I am unaware of, which I think there a plenty of. I also try to learn from my mistakes so that I don't repeat them, unfortunately I get a "blond" moment now and then, but those are usually harmless.

Call me proud but I hardly say sorry, but when I am sincerely sorry, I go to the person and ask for forgiveness. This was called to my attention when my ex made a comment that only time I said sorry to him. He told me he never knew I knew how to say sorry. O.O

Of course I do repent for anything I've done wrong. No one in sanity will do bad things. Apologizing should not be that hard to do especially when it was done unintentional. For me, I'm always willing to stand to be corrected. No one is perfect in this imperfect world. It is always nice to live in love and peace.

It is always right to say sorry and repent from every mistakes that we've done.
Saying sorry won't make us a lesser person,but we will gain respect from the people whom we've done mistakes and we asks forgiveness.
Some people are may find it difficult due to pride,or the thought that it's not their fault.
Sorry is one word that other people find it very hard to admit,but,if they only knew what relief it could give ,they'll surely be sorry for not saying sorry for every mistakes they've done.

Hi there.:)
I do both. I repent and then move away.LOL
Just like you I can never be in peace when I know that I have done something wrong and have hurt someone with what I did. The only recourse I can do is to really ask forgiveness to the offended person and shows that I have truly repented by trying to amend what I have done wrongly. Say if I misjudged someone and it has greatly affected her reputation, I'll go out an extra mile to correct such misjudgment. After that, I'll just move away from it, just like it did not happen only this time I'll try to not do the same mistake ever again.:).

Im guilty to say that i tend to run away from my mistake, sometimes i even look for reasons to avoid myself to get blame. Now, im trying to face my mistake, learn to say sincere sorry and of course to correct my mistake.

Same thing happens with me,when i do some mistake or when i hurt someone unknowingly.I feel bad afterwords and I quickly as for forgiveness to that person or ask god to forgive me.Everyone human does mistakes so am i.But the important thing is what you do when you realize your mistake.I want to be a good human being and sometimes if i dont do mistake and then too someone gets hurt then i quickly say sorry or i ask that person to forgive me.I do this because i dont want anyone to blame me or hate me.I want everyone to love me and i love everyone too.
