I am really appreciate my husband because he always say sorry when he did something wrong. Even a little mistake always saying "Im sorry". I dont know why but its hard for me to say sorry because i am shy to tell. Many times i just keep silent when somethings wrong. But now i realize its not good so i start to say it than keep it. What about you what can you answer this yes or no, why?

I also have a hard time saying I am sorry and it usually takes me several hours to be able to do it but I always end up apologizing, even when I am not sure I am wrong bec`ause I am in the wrong a lot.

So long as the person asking is sincere it can be easy to ask and accpet forgiveness. Admitting ones mistakes is often hard for some people to do, and other times its hard for some to accept an apology.

If i am wrong and then to say sorry it very easy for me,if i am not wrong then i would be very hard for me,but there is a difference in saying sorry also,like just say it for the sake of saying it,and saying sorry with heart

Asking forgiveness is very hard. In my point of view if u really make mistake it will affect someone means u make sorry else don't make sorry and all

Yes,I sometimes find it difficult to say I am sorry.But this is when I know I am partly right.Now if I know I am wrong and make a mistake out of being in a bad mood.I always say I am sorry.

For me, its not that hard to say im sorry to someone specially when i know that its my mistake. I do get guilty when i say something bad or argue with someone specially with my boyfriend. Sometimes, when we argue i keep quiet for a while and think then after that i say sorry. Im just happy because my boyfriend because he knew how to compromise and he also say sorry when he does something wrong. Thats why im really happy with my relationship right now.

It is hard for me to say sorry to my parents and my bf, but I often say sorry directly to some familiar people if I make a mistake. Frankly, I don't know why it is hard for me to my parents and my bf. Maybe in my heart, I think they will forgive all my mistakes. Sometimes I think I really say sorry to them, I don't want to hurt them. I should protect my beloved. I often say sorry when I play majiang with other three people. If I take other's cards, I will say sorry directly with a smile. It seems a reflection of mistakes.

forgiving someone??? - It's hard
Good for you that you were able to realize that it is not that good. Having too much pride keeps us from saying sorry. Before, I used to telling sorry to everyone I felt I have hurt but that was before. Now, I don't usually say sorry because of my pride. Like what happened to me last month, I know it was my mistake, but it was not that great but then he had said so many nasty things about me. How can I every say sorry to him. I never answered back those words, I just keep quiet. I have never talk to that person until now. I feel that he should say sorry to me first before I will say sorry to him also.

Yesh, my bf does too.. But sometimes saying too much sorry makes matter worse... As in, i heard ur sorry everyday, do u mean it? That applies to my bf only... Coz he apologise to everyone over the slightest matter... As for me, i think its hardest to say sorry to the ones close to u.. I mean... Its really hard to say sorry to them face to face... Yet i think thats the only time when it really should be done personally and not via phone or text msgs...

Being able to apologize when we are in the wrong is hard to accept. We work so hard to be so perfect and believe everyone else is the one who's wrong. We are not individual gods and we will make mistakes as we learn and grow every day of life. If what you've done is not a grave sin then apologizing should just mean letting go and moving on. That's a healthy response for us all. Just because I woke up in a bad mood and had a headache to go with it and snapped at my loved one this morning doesn't mean I need to spend the rest of the day being hard on myself or my loved one because I started the day like that. Growth comes when we can say to ourselves and loved one this was wrong. I'm not proud of this. I need to work on improving this. And then putting the effort in to do so. Oh sure I'll snap again but will I hold on to it or be so nasty next time as long? Will it be the same thing that triggers the why I snapped? Have I grown?
