Do you accept your mistakes and say sorry right away?

Are you that kind of person who accepts his or her faults and would apologize if needed? It's always a good thing to humble ourselves. Is it hard for you to say sorry or to accept you mistakes? How do you overcome that? How do you usually feel when you are about to say sorry?

Hi nengs, I would like to accept my mistakes and express my apology straight away to the person concern if I really have done something wrong. I would feel uneasy and could do nothing well all the time if I do not say sorry and admit my fault until I have accepted my fault and say sorry as well. Yeah, the earlier I admit my fault the earlier I would feel at ease. You know to hide our fault is really a big burden and we won’t feel happy if there is still something unsolved in our mind that always disturbing us all the time. Anyway it’s not a shame to admit the fault we have done, and I believe the opposite side surely would forgive us if we are willing to ask for apology. Happy posting and have a nice day.

I am the kind of person who is able to accept my mistakes and admit when I am wrong and apologize for it. I actually feel okay about it I mean I don't want to be someone who always has to be right.

[i]Hi nengs, I have no problem in recognizing my fault and I say sorry right away when I know that it is really my fault and will listen to whoever I am fighting or arguing with! I guess this is one of the great values I learned from my parents![/i]

Sad to say but I'm not. It's hard to admit the truth, I know but it's because of my pride. I want to develop this attitude for the better. At the start, I'm having difficulty in saying sorry specially to my boyfriend but then slowly I started to learn doing it. Whenever I hurt someone unintentionally or even with intention to do so, before, I just don't speak. Now I can say sorry to those people. Hopefully I could still develop this attitude of mine more.

Oh yes! There is dignity in humility so there is no problem with me in humbly accepting my mistake if I really am! I'm one person who would go out of my way to apologize in order to prove that I really am sorry. Sometimes it really takes some courage but after doing it....the feeling is abolutely great!

Yeah, I almost always accept my mistakes and apologize. Sometimes it's hard, especially after a big argument, but it's always better to overcome your own ego in such cases. I usually feel better after saying sorry; if it's not right away, it's sometime later that day/week.
