When was the last time you said sorry?

I said sorry when I accidentally stepped on the foot of an office mate. Now the question is, would I say sorry if it is not as simple as this?
Would I readily say sorry if someone misunderstood my intentions and read the whole of my effort as something else that would destroy the person? Believe me I did but with an explanation that I have no bad intentions. Still the closed-minded person believes what she wanted to believe. I didn't feel any guilt at all.
Sometimes I thought that with these kinds of situations, I could have not said sorry at all. But I think saying sorry is showing you are honest that you did not do something deliberate or you are recognizing your weaknesses.
Is it easy for you to say sorry? When was the last time you said sorry?

I am one to believe a simple "I am sorry", goes a long way. I am not afraid to say I am sorry, and when the situation warrants I will easily do so. I think a lot of people are to proud to admit when they have done something wrong and do not say sorry so easily.

Saying sorry comes very easy for me. I do not have to think about my mistake and or dwell whether I am wrong or right.
I must admit that I say sorry at least several times daily. See I am one who is completely content with just about anything in life. Even when there is a difference of opinion, I truly say I am sorry we cannot agree.
Perhaps it comes to easy for me but I am complacent and content with my conscious.

Absolutely I do agree,but sometimes I find that if I first say I am sorry the discussion is over and I live conscious free.

Yes, today morning I said sorry to misunderstand my friend. She is busy and even I am busy but when I have time she don’t have and when she have I don’t have. We both want to talk but because of different schedule we can’t. So I was not talking to her. And today she said “we are not talking as we don’t have time and I am wasting time by getting angry“. So I understood and said “Sorry” for misunderstanding the situation.

Sorry is a funny word. I debate about this all the time. I would say I am sorry for being careless and probably that is as far as it goes... but I try to be serious about all things so things are best intended. So differences among one another is a different situation to whether to be sorry or not. (Ex. I am offended by a comment made by someone so I get mad at them. They get offended that I get mad because they didn't mean it that way. I feel bad for offending them, but I am offended too. Depends which feeling is stronger.)

hello bingskee!
i am one to say sorry easily where it is due. I am not afraid to say sorry and admit that i was in the wrong, i did not mean to hurt the person, or i have no intention at all to hurt them in anyway by words or deeds. Saying sorry is my way of apologizing and telling them its not my intention to hurt them and if its not accepted, well, i won't force it and just let it go, except perhaps if my loved one is the one involved.
However, i will only say sorry for things i did not mean to do or say or if had done it in my weakness or anger, to tell the person involved that i honestly don't want to hurt or anger them. Admittedly, i say sorry for my own peace of mind. I don't want to burden myself with the guilt that i have wronged or hurt someone who doesn't deserve to be treated that way, and just let it be.

I guess it was this morning during TaekwonDo class. We were practicing throwing each other and I threw my partner a little harder than usual. It wasn't like she got hurt, but out of habit I said, sorry!

yes, I think say sorry is the best way to keep my relationship. Sometimes, when I made somethings not good, or somethings wrong, I will say sorry, because just 1 sentence you can change a lot of things.
