Hello MYLOTTERS,
Do you feel is it always easy to say SORRY to people when you are wrong?
Many people find it difficult to say sorry to others even when they are wrong sometimes this happens in the case when that person is small in age or lower in the status.Sometimes your ego comes in between and you become so rigid that you know that you are wrong but you don't want to accept it in front of others.
Today i saw an incident on the road a fellow who was in his car was going in wrong lane and hit a rickshaw that fellow instead of saying SORRY to him was shouting at him. That was ridiculous.
How do you feel when you are wrong? Do you easily say sorry to any person?
I say sorry whenever i am wrong it hardly matters if the person is smaller than me in age or status. If i am wrong i should say sorry.

There are times when it's hard to say "sorry" but there are also time when it's so easy especially when you know for sure that it's your fault. Although I'm the kind of person who won't say sorry if I don't know you, I didn't do anything wrong to you but you're demanding me to apologize to you.

Yep, that is the main idea but it's not really that easy to do sometimes.

If i think i did some wrong or hurt a person, i am ready to say Sorry and beg apology, i don't mind if he is younger in age or is my student even; this certainly raises my status lol.

If I feel my mistake then I say sorry immediately and no problem to say this word. But I know most of the persons not ready to accept the mistake. I remember when I was drive and dash other vehicle due to my driving speed I say sorry and thank God the person is not injured.

Say sorry with our full heart it is good. Say sorry simply it is a bad practice. We should avoid that kind of practice.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to say that you're sorry. There are always those occasions, when it's not as easy as it may always seem. Usually, I don't have a very difficult time saying "sorry", but there are always those times, when I find it more difficult to do so.

Yeah, I guess it's a matter of the way you are up-brought or maybe in the way you are educated.Saying sorry to someone you have erred is easy but if you don't accept that it's your fault it's really hard to say it.
Like you said,it depends also on the status of an individual.Others don't want to go in their level so ego comes in.If I did wrong and I knew it's my fault then I would say sorry.So it depends on the person really.Thanks for sharing my friend.

Hello Stanley,
Its important for us to realize our fault first because if we don't realise it we won't feel sorry for it.
And its really hard to accept it there are more people who find it hard to accept but i feel its not that much difficult.
Yes it depends on the education and up brought of the person which makes us think like this.

Hi sjvg 
Saying sorry means one accepts they have wronged so it should be easy after accepting that they are wrong to say they are sorry. It is not difficult for me to immediately say sorry when I have done wrong. I am not perfect and if I believe I am right I will definitely say why I think something is not so, but it does not take me anytime at all to realize when I am wrong.

Hello HWG,
in fact this is the right attitude we must realize our mistakes and should not find it hard to say sorry to the person who was hurt by our fault irrespective of his/her age or status.
I also always find it easy to say sorry to people when i am wrong.

I don't think it's easy, it even makes me shake. The reason is not arrogance, I want to say and I know when I was wrong but I don't wanna cry in front of the person and when I feel guilty I want to make it up to that person so I want to cry, it's a nervous as much as a guilty cry, so I keep holding and end up really having a hard time to say. Not all sorries, but the hardest ones for me are terrible to go through.

Hello Katie,
Yes exactly what i am talking about.You must try to change yourself.There is no harm in accepting our mistakes and say sorry to the person who got hurt by our mistakes .Its easy you must try it ,you may find it hard in the starting but when you will start doing it you will find it easy.

It is not hard for me to say sorry most especially it is I who is at fault. It is relieving when you ask for forgiveness. We even learn from our mistakes and so what is wrong when you say sorry for a learned experience.

Hello Maca,
That should be attitude.Person should not find it difficult to say sorry when he/she knows that he/she is wrong. By saying sorry we get relaxed and also when we accept our mistake and analyze it we always try not to repeat the same mistake in future.

Saying the word sorry is easy when one admits he's wrong, I admit when i make mistake or did something wrong so I say Sorry when I personally did something wrong regardless of age, status, etc... The fact that you did something wrong you should say sorry...

Hello acavin,
Thats what i also feel we should not hestitate in saying sorry to someone when we are wrong irrespective of that person's age or status.We should have the habit to say sorry when we are faulty in order to keep relations better with people.

I say sorry when I feel I have wronged someone.
However, I am one of those people who has issues and thus unnecessarily says sorry for small things:
"Oops, sorry I am talking too much."
"Sorry, I'm being annoying."
"Sorry, I know yo must feel bad."
Etc.
As for deep, intense, serious apologies---well, those are another matter. I am not ill-fated with the God complex, and I am finding it easier and easier as I get older to admit that I am wrong. Today I snapped at my younger sister and apologized, stating that it was my mistake. It can be too easy to blame other things for your faults, but it's not the mature thing to do at all nor do I find it confident.

And if they don't say it then they should be forced to say it at least when they are wrong.

I always admit my fault,it will never make me a less person of who I am and what I am.
It gives me peace of mind and serene feeling,so why should I stressed myself thinking those mistakes when I can say "sorry".
Who can never commit mistakes anyway?
Who is perfect ?
So why not say sorry and admit fault and make peace with everyone.
Or,if they cannot say sorry due to ego...a smile will do,or keep silent (much better)
Some people are too confident and proud looking down the other.
Not knowing that,behaving rude made them more illiterate than those lower ones.

Hello Jaiho,
Thats right i also feel bit light and relaxed when i say sorry to a person if i am wrong. And everyone should understand it that apologizing when you are wrong never make you small instead it gives you peace in your mind.
I always find it easy to apologize when i am wrong. I don't see people with their status for me they are more like human beings first than anything else.

Hi
That's really ridiculous..
That person should sorry to that rickshaw man.
I have seen this thing that people always forget to say sorry because of this status thing. But that is really wrong one. Personally i never feel problem in saying sorry. If I have made some mistake then I always used to say sorry.

Hello Ritzz,
Saying no to people i also find hard.
But rightly said people should not find it difficult to say sorry to the person when you have done something wrong to him.You must realise the mistake and should take a lesson from it so that you may not repeat the same mistake in future.

There are already variations in saying sorry. Out from the mistakes that we had done to someone, we say sorry. Sorry can also mean pity to someone who have just lost somebody close to him or her. We find it sometimes to say sorry maybe because the person will find it hard to accept the very fact of saying sorry. But in spite of this, we have to admit what the truth so that we can be free and continue living with our conscience clean.

People on the earth tend to make mistakes irrespective of their age, and profession.
For instance. It is not at all acceptable that a chairman of a company should not say Sorry to his employees. It is just an example but how many people are there who make a mistake and say sorry, I am pretty sure it would be only in least number. You have noted a point that the EGO will come into picture if he has to say Sorry to a person who has a smaller designation.
If you have to say a sorry to your friends or any close relatives you will not feel shy or the ego factor does not come as you know these people and will definitely forgive for what has happened.
If I was in place of the rickshaw guy, I would have given him a Bouquet and said Get well soon!!!

Saying you are sorry is a hard thing to do for most people. But uttering the word perse is never enough. To prove that you are really sorry for what you did, learn on how to make up for it and never to repeat your mistake as possible as it can be.
