Do you say "Sorry" often? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. vivianchen (940)   ranked 1,347 out of 37,995 in life7 months ago

When i first started this topic, i want to ask" how many times do you say " sorry" in one day?" Strange question, huh?
I don't know why i asked this, maybe because my ex once told me that i was those people who always so pround of myself and never say sorry, even i was the one who did things or said saying wrong. I am not sure if i am the kind of person he was talking about, but i do know that, i don't say "sorry" often, i am always try to prove people that i was right, they were the one wrong!
I realized this is not helping me, i need to admit i was wrong and say sorry, there is nothing to feel shame of. I am trying to say "Sorry" when i realize i was wrong. What about you?

i don't say "sorry" often, i am always try to prove people that i was right, they were the one wrong!

I dont think the issue with you is the fact that you dont say sorry, its that you are hellbent on provign that you dont need to say it...That could seriously come back and bite you in the arse in big ways too IMO....

As for me, I dont say it often but I show it which is IMO far better...I tell ppl all the time "don't tell me SHOW ME, then I'll believe it" especially when they are doing the same wrong over and over ya know..

Hi Ravenladyj,
Thanks for responding my discussion, and thank you for your advice. I think you are right. I think i need to change that.

Well you know what, Sorry is kind of magic word, it really help you from other in any circumstances. If any mistake is done unknowingly then it can be erase by saying "Sorry". Isn't it so good? And ya I don't feel shame to say sorry because many people says that saying sorry makes you small person. That's too funny.

We have to admit our mistakes if we have done mistakes in our life.

When the son told me:"Mum,you are wrong!"I'm sure is my faulse,I will tell him very frankly"I'm sorry."Chatting with friend to see if he looks casual,I would say "sorry!"and then do not speak a word.
If wrong to admit that this is not a shame thing.On the contrary,refuses to admit the fault is always the people can not be pardoned.

Hi Ajzone,
Thanks for responding my discussions. I think you are right, it's okay to say sorry when it's your flaut.

I don't have a problem saying "I'm Sorry" if I have done something wrong. But I also think "I'm sorry" is one of the most overused expressions we have. I have a friend that is constantly saying he's sorry but unfortunately it's always about the same type of things. In other words he keeps making the same mistakes and feels if he apologizes that makes it okay. As far as I'm concerned if a person is truly sorry for their actions they will try hard to learn from their mistakes and not continously repeat them.Have a great day and happy mylotting.

I agree with you 100%, The word doesn't mean anything after awhile. If you truly meant sorry why are you doing the same thing over and over again!


myLot reputation of 94/100. vivianchen (940)   ranked 1,347 out of 37,995 in life  7 months ago

Hi Oceanblueeyes,
Thanks for responding my discussions. I couldn't agreed more. We overused this word and make it meaningless. If you repeat the same mistake and keep say sorry for that, that just means nothing!

I will said "sorry" if i think i make something wrong, but depent condition. Sometimes im still said " sorry" although i know thats not my mistake, i just dont wan fight with anyone. But i seldom said "sorry", cos i no make mistake or fight with anyone today^^


myLot reputation of 94/100. vivianchen (940)   ranked 1,347 out of 37,995 in life  7 months ago

Hi Morpher,
Thanks for responding my discussions. I understand what you are talking about. When you are in your G.M's office, he shouted at you, tellingyou that you did something wrong. But it actually not your fault, it's your co-worker's fault. You have to say sorry just to avoid any fights between you and him. The same to your love. Right?

I never say sorry till i really make a mistake. i believe in myself and have full confidence on what i say and do. but sometimes when i feel that i have by mistake said something wrong then i say sorry!


myLot reputation of 94/100. vivianchen (940)   ranked 1,347 out of 37,995 in life  7 months ago

Hi Deepak,
Thanks for responding my discussion. So you are saying you only say sorry when you realize you really made a mistake? What about when it's not all your fault, but you've involved?

I think asking number was not good enough so this one is better than the previous one.
I think I would say it often when I do certain mistake.
I don't want to specify some I guess.
But I think when someone know that he or she has committed mistake and it has affected someone then that person should proudly say sorry without any hesitation because it will not make you small rather it makes you polite.
Sometimes elder people avoid saying sorry to the younger ones even if it is there mistake.


myLot reputation of 94/100. vivianchen (940)   ranked 1,347 out of 37,995 in life  7 months ago

Hi Rakesh,
Thanks for responding my discussion. Thanks for pointing out that asking number is not a good way to raise a question. I think you are right, some eldder people don't say sorry because they think they know better than others. sad

Sorry,I have been telling that I don't like such type of slang words to say frequently . If I tell it so much the significance of the term will be lost. So we should use it properly, when i MAKE any wrong willingly or not then we practice to say such word.But we have a habit that we say sorry many times uselessly or not properly, we should avoid this malpractice.


myLot reputation of 94/100. vivianchen (940)   ranked 1,347 out of 37,995 in life  7 months ago

Hi TitoRoyal,
Thanks for responding my discussion. I agreed with you, just like one of the mylottor has stated, we overused Sorry! Sometimes when we say it, we don't mean it. I think that is not a good things, we should say it sincerely.

My Husband always always asks me what im saying sorry for, "What are you saying sorry for, you dont even know. And when you need to be sorry for anything its not even gonna mean anything because you say it so much." I guess this is a horrible horrible habit. I say it non stop. I get it from when i was younger and my father would yell at me for anything and everything and it continued into my first relationship. They would state what they had to say over and over again and i only wanted to ecknowledge what they were saying and i did this by saying 'sorry'. Becasue i suppose i was in the situation of getting so-called yelled because i had something to be sorry about? Im not sure but either way my husbnad is trying his best to teach me how to not say sorry as much and to realize when i should be saying sorry which usually is most likely never in the terms that i say it in

Hi Jillianmc,
Thanks for responding my discussion. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I think it's indeed a horrible habit that you say sorry over and over again when you don't even know what you are sorry for.

I generally say sorry the minute I come to know that I'm wrong.

Even if I have a worst fight with someone, and say I have so much of anger towards that person, just a single sorry from them will erase all my bad feelings for them. I just get back to normal very easily. May that is the reason that I also don't hesitate to say sorry when I feel I'm at fault.

But saying sorry and admitting your fault is one of the good practice that evry one should follow. This will heal many hearts.


myLot reputation of 84/100. anniecheung216 (128)   ranked 8,343 out of 37,995 in life  7 months ago

I agree with you.And i am the same person with you.
I do say sorry to others when i am wrong.
But nobody can force me to say that.
I am a easy person but i won't let others offend me and my family.


myLot reputation of 94/100. vivianchen (940)   ranked 1,347 out of 37,995 in life  7 months ago

Hi PinkPosh,
Thanks for responding my discussion. Yes, you are right, when you are at fault, you should say sorry.

i find i say sorry to much. im very self consionce and i always want people to tell me if ive done something they dont like etc but the people i live with dont and so i feel i have to say it all the time.


myLot reputation of 84/100. anniecheung216 (128)   ranked 8,343 out of 37,995 in life  7 months ago

Honestly,i think you need more self-confidence.And you seems care too much in your life.Which makes you very stressful,will affect you later.
Try to easy your self.
Life is easy.


myLot reputation of 94/100. vivianchen (940)   ranked 1,347 out of 37,995 in life  7 months ago

Hi Guitarguy,
Thanks for responding my discussion. Remember, say it when you mean it. It's good that you are considerate, but you don't have to say sorry all the time, you know.
