Saying sorry to anybody is done when we do something something wrong or feeling empathetic. We say sorry when we feel bad to what others feel or down for some one. Can we also say sorry if we admit our fault on a certain situation but we still fell the hurt..can we just say sorry for the hurt we made but not entirely feeling good about it? I always feel this..i want to say sorry for the fault i did but not really okay with the situation..Is this possible?

I do say sorry only if I know that it was my fault or admitted my fault. When I say sorry I said it from the heart and without holding grudges, I don't say sorry when I don't feel ok and I would never say ok when I knew it's not ok.

hi, thanks for your response I do have an attitude that i would rather feel the worst rather than hurting someone..i say sorry just to let them feel that i do regret on what i did without minding myself..maybe i should learn to say okay when i'm really okay..

I think if you really do a mistake or something wrong you must say sorry no matter with intentional or not..You hurt someone feeling right?so you have to..It a good attitude to practiced..

Sorry can be said in any situation. At any time. However, really there are many times where it can be said without it having any meaning. There are times where the word "sorry" is just a word. It is just as hallow as any other word that is going to be used without any deal of emotion. People are going to say it to absolve themselves of any guilt. Granted after we have some time to think about why we are saying sorry, then it really does strengthen the meaning. But in the end, there are many people who jump right on the sorry bandwagon. Where they tend to really just feel obligated to cleanse themselves. There is really going to be no lesson that is going to be learned and therefore, the apology is meaningless as you might expect.

Hi there Zip, I think so those words is much needed to be uttered when we have done something wrong. Sometimes it is hard to speak the words especially admitting our own mistakes but it will be more than appreciated by the one we hurt.

hi Zip. I certainly agree that it is possible to say "I am sorry" but not really be okay with the situtation...This is the way I handle this... I say this: I am woman enough to say I am sorry if I hurt your feelings, BUT, I meant what I said... I hope you can understand it... I don't think we as people should have to apologize for what we believe in, and if it hurts the feeling of others we should for sure let them that was not the purpose of what we said...

Yes am agree with you.we can say sorry in every situation.But if u feel made hurt and u not entrelly feeling good u just try to accept it in ur heart with words sorry.I think its better to say sorry if we made fault which is intentional or unintentional.I hope u have great day.

zip12ph I don't mind saying sorry if I was really at fault but if the situation was such that I was hurt by someone and thus I lost my temper, I sometimes do not feel like saying sorry as I did not jump on myself the other' person did and was not sorry but wanted my apology. I finally did give it but I walked away from that person probably forever.Friends do not attack friends.Yes I finally said sorry'but was still hurt as the other person didnot even try to apologize for wronging me in the first place. I walked away feeling angry and sad.

once you've done something wrong, the tendency to be apologetic is quite reasonable, probably a 'must' so to speak. in certain situations, there are times that expressing apology really makes you feel anxious, frustrated or even depressed, but the fact that you admitted your guilt is admirable.

hi mylotter... it is very much good to say sorry when we maid a fault. when the fault is on your side do not think a bit late to say sorry. it is not that we will be happy by saying sorry but we feel better to relax a bit. by saying sorry it is not hurt your ego. so my dear friends feel free to say sorry whenever the wrong is on your side...
