I notice these days many people don't care to say sorry. They just tend to ignore or so. Are you the kind who say sorry right on time when u sense that u hurt or offended someone?

Yes, I think I've tried to do this for the most part. I say sorry allot. Like at the grocery store or elsewhere if I'm in the way I say excuse me or sorry. But many people don't acknowledge my politeness. It's hurtful and annoying that so many people don't seem to have any manners. They weren't brought up the way I was.

i'd say sorry if i know i had to say it. i mean, if i have really hurt someone, offended someone.. i would not hesitate to say that i am sorry - especially if i really felt sorry for what i did. there are tmes, hoestly speaking when we mean what we say and we do not say sorry for it because we feel that we have to say it - even if it hurts the people we are close to. and i think its just how things are - the truth hurts!!

If I happen to commit any error or mistake, I do not hesitate to say 'sorry', there is nothing wrong in admitting our mistakes.

I say sorry whenever I realize that I made a mistake. I usually repent when I do a mistake and I do apologize to the person I made a mistake to. I was raised this way and I find it OK to say sorry whenever you made a mistake or hurt somebody. If the apologies are accepted I feel relieved and the guilt will not torment me anymore. I advise everybody to apologize whenever they make a mistake, but only do so if they really mean it.

Sorry is a good word. When u disturb others,or when u are careless to hurt someone, you have to say sorry. I offen say sorry when I bump into others by accident.

I am prompt with saying sorry. As soon as I realize that I have hurt, offended or inconvenienced someone, I say sorry. However, that does not mean that I apologize for everything that I do. If I do not think I did anything wrong, then I won't apologize even if the other person is whining about it. Have a nice day!

I tend to say sorry when I see that I have hurt somebody because I don't say that I am sorry then I will feel really bad and I wont be to happy with myself. It's always nice to say sorry because then the person you are telling it to will think that you do care and forgive you. Still if you don't say sorry than it will be a different story. In any case I think it's best to say sorry when you hurt someones feelings if it's on accident or on purpose. Like mom says if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all. That's what I do I always like to be nice because I don't want to hurt people even I have been hurt in my life and I would feel like a bully if I did the same thing. In that case it would be like two wrongs don't make a right and that actually is true also. Anyway love your question.

Oh yes I would definately utter those words right away once I knew I hurt someone. I even gonna hold someone that I hurt just to know that he/she is ok and not hurt that much. I dont know but really I just noticed that yes they just dont bother saying sorry. Just like for example someone will just bump you while you are walking and they wont even say sorry to you. grrrr what manners and where are there values now.

When I did something wrong or I offended someone,I always say sorry,one word but always make sense.But in a case that I did something that offended him/her because of his/her doings also,I will never had to say sorry.

I say sorry when I feel there is a need to...simple as that really. I'm not going to hurt someone and just walk away unless I intended on hurting that person, if it's an accident or I said something wrong unintentionally, then I say sorry. I found that people can be plan rude sometimes and i absolutely HATE it when someone bumps into you and they say, "excuse you!" when it was their fault! But yeah...I say sorry when the occasion calls for it.

It actually depends. Saying sorry right later but if it comes from the heart is better than saying sorry right away but not meaning it. Right? Ans it also depends on the situation.

I say sorry when i feel like it. When I hurt someone and I don't say sorry I usually have some intent of revenge but if not I say sorry afterwards. I even say sorry when something happened by accident and is not my fault. I also use sorry when someone is at loss and I mistakenly asked them some wrong questions.

The people or someone was an accident with me. They said to sorry as I do. If I don't do then They fight with me for a fair. It must show respect.
