Would you say sorry if you are misquoted or misunderstood by other people? If you have said that you are not guilty of how they felt since that was not your intention, isn't it the same as apologizing?
I was just wondering why people find it so difficult saying sorry though for some, they say "sorry if I hurt you but that was not my intention...". What kind are you when in it comes to apologizing?

I am not used to saying I'm sorry but I am very much willing to learn how to say so. Everytime I got to offend anybody, I just keep quite and thats it...

The sentence I picked up on is that "we are not responsible for someone else's feelings."
That said, I ask the person how my words hurt them and talk it over. This usually involves saying "I'm sorry for upsetting you and I'm thankful that you cared enough to tell me about your feelings."

I say sorry when I hurt people intentionally and when I am misquoted...But there are times when I will not say sorry when I am hurt then I said something to defend myself and turned out that I hurt them!

If a misunderstanding hurts someone then the right thing to do is to apologize for hurting them and then, if there's an explanation, it should follow. The little word "sorry" carries a lot of weight when it comes to healing and I'm not stingy about using it if I have hurt someone.

Saying 'sorry' need great courage, though hurting and misunderstanding are't ur intention,but it's the result.In the face of this we should apologize with responsbility!

of course i would, I might be mad at them; for not understanding my words, or the misquote, in which case saying you are not guilty and not your intention is the beginning of a long excuse or argument.
I am sorry is the best way to put an end to tension between you and another. Or for that matter yourself. Looking in the mirror and apologizing to your self for doing and saying things that would hurt you inside.
sometimes even if it is not your fault.
forgiveness and I am sorry go hand in hand. If you are the type to never say i am sorry, then you must prepare yourself for a lonely life in the future because it is likely you will be a very arrogant and conceited person, and no matter how great your ability to make friends, it is likely you won't keep them for long. It takes a giving nature to have real friends,and relationships and a lot of work to keep them. no one is perfect and mistakes in life happen. for example:
I am so sorry i didn't call you when I said I would....I am so sorry I ate the last piece of cake...I am sorry, but i can't see you any more, you are a jerk...
its the word that keep you moving forward. and helps free your mind and soul. and allows you to get passed guilt and anxiety.
Besides you don't want to hurt anyone's feeling's do you?
But only say it if you mean it. there are also some, who say it just to squirm out of stuff.
Your intuition will let you know who those people are.
Oh wow, i am so sorry I didn't spell check or use better grammar.But I am in a hurry and gotta go...
