When you say sorry to someone do you always mean it when you say it? It is so easy to just say your sorry and not mean any it at all. Some people always means they are sorry when they say it and others do not. When it comes to sorry I think a person should really feel sorry when they say it or there is no need to say it all. Weather they know they have done wrong or not some things that someone does might not seem to them that it was hurtful and to someone else it might, so it could be hard for someone to see or know they did wrong and to feel that they are sorry and that they need to say sorry. With me I always mean I'm sorry when I say it and you really know I'm sorry when I start crying and getting all upset about hurting someones feelings or doing something wrong. If I feel I have done nothing wrong then I don't think I should have to say sorry because it wouldn't be a true sorry to say at all and it wouldn't be fair to that person to tell them sorry when I don't mean it. Most of the time I can tell when I have done something or says something that was hurtful.

Another one of the few things we agree on.

Sometimes, you say sorry to the person you love because you value him/her more than your ego. That's not bad if your purpose is to save the relationship with that person but it is true that it is much harder to say sorry if the misunderstanding/trouble is not your fault. But let us always remember that too much of something spoils everything.. We should have some pride sometimes.. XD The other person should also recognize their mistakes and learn to say sorry for that.

I don't say sorry to my husband unless I do something where I have to say I'm sorry. I love him and he loves me we don't say sorry to each other unless one of us has really don't something. If you love someone you won't force self to lie to them by saying a sorry you don't mean. I agree a person should recognize that they have done something wrong and then say your sorry.

I've been in situations where I've had to say sorry without meaning it before. However, I find it a lot harder to apologize when you're not really sorry. You have to swallow your pride in order to keep the peace, and when you know you've done nothing wrong, that's extremely hard to do. There have been times where my mother and I would have a disagreement, and even though I felt in my heart I was right, I'd still have to suck it up and say sorry just to keep a roof over my head. It's so hard to submit to someone and apologize when you feel as though they should be the ones doing it instead.

When I have arrangements with family and we disagree on something I don't say sorry at all. I just drop it and if they don't want to drop it to bad. I normally know if we aren't going to agree on something then I just do the head nod thing with family. I do know what you mean when you just got to suck it up.
