Do you find it hard to say sorry? email this discussion to a friend?

pawnee (66)   ranked 3,257 out of 38,156 in life1 year ago

Hello peeps,
For most of my life i have found it very hard to say "sorry", mostly because I have felt like I am in the right, and maybe a little because I am a bit stubborn.
I generaly feel the the majority of people are a bit stupid too, so this didnt realy help much either.
But rescently I have found that saying "sorry" even when i know that its not my fault, is a real good way of defusing the situation, making it more possible to chat things threw logicaly and without anger.
Its just so much less stress.

Its something thats been playing on my mind for a while now and i just wanted to know what the general public thought about the subject?

Do you have trouble saying sorry? Do you find yourself saying sorry alot, even when you dont think YOU should of been the person apolagising?

Anyway,

Happy mylottin folks.

Cheers.

Pawnee

Yes, because it will hurt my pride. or maybe because the person didn't apologize since it was his fault in the first place. but if i apologize, people might think that i am a coward or weak. it's sad but some would give that impression as you are giving up the fight.

I also find it difficult to say "sorry" bcoz im a peaceful person and i rarely start a fight, and my pride is sometimes bigger than me. But, whenever i say this word, that would only mean that it is trully coming from my heart.

The word sorry is highly difficult to say specially in crowd. i can not say sorry.
if really feel my mistake and it is very big and sorry can save me then only i used to say sorry but the voice of speaking at that time is very low so that no other one can hear except to whom it is said

I thinks it depends what your saying sorry for and how guilty the person to blame is feeling. It takes a very big person to stand up and admit to being wrong because in todays world it is so much easier to just blame someone else. I know I have done the latter in the past and am not proud of it...it's a cowards way out. But I learn't from my mistake...we all do...and nowadays if I do something wrong I stand up and make it known. Afteral when you do something wrong you can learn from it.

Saying sorry is hard but I wouldn't say i'd say it if I didn't think it was necessary. I have known people in the past that often apologised for things they didn't even need to do. Found my self for ever wondering why they did this?

Tricky one. I get embarrassed if I have to admit that I made a mistake but I do say sorry. It is not easy but if I have made an error then I can accept that I must make an apology.

However, if I am forced to apologize to someone because someone in authority makes me and I think I am still in the right then I am really angry about it. I do not like that one little bit.


pawnee (66)   ranked 3,257 out of 38,156 in life  1 year ago

Snap! Thats pretty much what ive been like...

But saying sorry to an authority figure (Police, teacher, even parents) is a dam hard thing to do.

Its like they are looking down at ya,like they think they know better and that realy gets on my nerves...

No one knows better than me! lol

Hi there pawnee. At times it has been hard for me as well to say sorry, while other times it has been easy because i knew that i was wrong. The thing is, that if you apologize even when it's not your fault you are proving superior, and in most of the cases the one that is really guilty will apologize as well (of course, if we are talking about people with some common sense).


pawnee (66)   ranked 3,257 out of 38,156 in life  1 year ago

Hello matey:)

Quote: "of course, if we are talking about people with some common sense"

Not at all. I do say sorry if I recognize my fault or mistake I did. But yeah, sometimes it feels little odd when you have to say sorry to such people who never admit their mistakes and never be sorry to you.

It's really hard for me when I know i'm not okay with another person or if someone's upset with me. Mostly I think about the wrong things i've done to a person or the person whom I have offended and it haunts me. That's why I make sure that I always make peace with everyone that I have offended or even to people who hurt me. I guess my mercy level is just shallow that I set aside my pride right away and just apologize for what i've done that might have hurt a person. Sometimes, even if it's not my fault, I do say sorry right away just to avoid an even bigger argument with a person. It feels good to forgive right away and to also apologize in return for what you have done. I guess I am able to forgive because Jesus has forgiven me in the first place. I am able to say sorry because of the love of Christ.

i do find it hard to say sorry..firstly i feel that i am right although i don't know i am correct or not ..sometimes it feels like by saying sorry it will show that i am weak..but now i have realized that saying sorry is not such a big deal...relationship holds more value than your ego...
