Sorry seems to be the hardest word ... email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. nikky28 (566)   ranked 205 out of 19,171 in questions & answers9 months ago

When ego blinds the mind, the tongue seems to say anything but "Sorry". Sarcasm and insults are hurled to and fro, hurting the other and oneself in the process. People sometimes go in different vectors and burn the bridge of friendship, love and civility that was between them. All this, when a simple, "I'm sorry" would have been enough.

Are you okay with saying 'Sorry' to someone? Or does pride come in the way? Do you always take accountability for the things done? Have you fought with someone for no big reason and now the gap has increased beyond repair that you can't go back to them?

Hi, I always heard that saying "I'm sorry" is a sign of weakness...so now I just say "I apologize"...Same difference, I suppose. And as far as fighting with someone, if I truly care about them, I will always find a way to fix things. Some people have just gone their own ways and we are both better off for it!

Oh that's clever actually. The two seem to be synonyms but I think has a huge difference. I would give up my pride sometimes, like you, to fix things up in my family too. But with others, it seems to be very hard. Have a great day!

my pride used to get in my way or played a big part. but now over the last few years i can big enough or man enough to say sorry for my mistakes and owe up to them. i also learn that all we can do is express ourself to those who we hurt.
but my pride will get in the way specaily if someone wants me to say sorry how i feel about somthing because no matter if they agree or dislike it feeling are never wrong.

Yes I think when we are immature or lack the experiences of life, we tend to be more haughty and feel insecure about taking accountability. It is always good to learn for the better and change for the better.

only strong people can say sorry, I personally dont have any issues saying sorry if I feel that I was out of order.

Altho its usually on reflection.


myLot reputation of 92/100. nikky28 (566)   ranked 205 out of 19,171 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Yes you are totally right. It takes a lot of courage to say sorry. Weak people can't say sorry and own up to what they have done.

One of the most frequently used words by me is 'i am sorry'.These are the three words whoch can solve any problem without leaving a scar.The more frequently one uses these words the more they have friends.And the relief one gets after speaking these words is worth it.


myLot reputation of 92/100. nikky28 (566)   ranked 205 out of 19,171 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Yeah very true. You must really have a lot of friends. And I totally agree that the relief is worth it. Happy mylotting, Pickwick.

Yes, i guess to most, sorry seems to be the hardest thing to say. The pride gets along the way and blocks you from talking to that person or taking the initiative to reconcile.

For me, if i have done my spouse something wrong, i will say sorry to him and even if he does not speak to me that easily, i know he is also holding his tongue just to say the word but the action of him being sorry too was more visible than just verbal.

Sometimes, we don't understand what the word sorry means. A lot of people said they are sorry, but on their actions, it was the opposite. It is much better for me to see the actions of a person than to say sorry verbally, but the intention is not real because the action is the opposite of what he or she claims. Happy Mylotting!happy

lol I have noticed that some people just say sorry without really meaning it. That infuriates me further. When I have a tiff with my bf, I have no qualms in saying sorry to him and he says sorry too. So it all ends up well. Happy mylotting to you as well!

Mostly it is very hard to say and there goes that song again. But in my side, as long as I am at fault it is not hard to come by and come along with sincerity of asking forgiveness. Often times I've done it when I am at fault of the situation but you won't get it when it is yours.

I am always the one to say I am sorry. Especially with my hubby because I just dont like to fight with him. But with friends I really have no problem saying I am sorry as long as the fight is my fault. If the fight is my friends fault well then usually Sarcasm starts up. I have never burned any bridges thank god

As a teenager it was very hard for me to say those words "I'm sorry", In high school ego's are flying especially when you've got peers and friends who are quite the raucous ones. I had a hard time growing up because I always had to fit in. Growing up though showed me a lot and learning a lot also taught me humility and in this way... I learned to say I'm sorry and it is true that saying I'm sorry seriously can free up that tension happening between the two.

I think saying "sorry" isn't very difficult. If it does be your mistake, it is natural for you to appologize. It isn't worthy of losing a good friend because of so-called pride.

I'm ok with saying sorry. I'm the kind of person who prefers to apologize than to leave the fight in the air which could possibly make it worse. But yeah, pride does come in the way in certain situations. Honestly, pride is my greatest enemy. Pride after all is one of the most sinful 7 capital sins. Pride is the hardest to break even I,a person who always apologize to people I know,can't apologize to my parents. I also don't always take things in my account. I know when I have done wrong and when I haven't but either way I still apologize. I also have fought someone for no big reason but I never had the experience of having a mortal enemy. I guess it's all because I'm the one who usually apologize first. The burden is left for them whether they would or wouldn't accept my apology.
