Is Saying Sorry Difficult?

As it is difficult to admit one's mistakes, I guess it is also difficult to say sorry when you know that you did nothing wrong to a person or its not intentional. Saying the word may not change everything nor ease the pain but at least it gives a chance for a better relationship.Considering that it is the least thing you can do sincerely to someone you have displeased or hurt, why will it be difficult to say then? We may hurt people in different ways either by our words or actions. When you say sorry just make sure you mean it,

Saying sorry for something we do wrongly should not be hard to do. It is a responsible way to admit your mistake. To apologize is a courteous way to show your honesty and uprightness. At times we may find that it is not easy to say sorry to people who is junior to us as we are supposed to be the mentor or the leader, and our apology for the mistake may present the impression that we are not competent. If you are confident of your capability, you won't feel that way. If you do, then it is time for you to reflect yourself why you can't say sorry for the mistake you made.

I can also say that saying it requires courage and only people with courage can do that

@jkct02 Oh I don't want to carry the burden forever. I wish something would make me finally do it. It's a heavy burden to carry. I don't want to say it over a social media message though. That's too cheap, I think. I prefer to say it personally but I can't seem to do it without explaining a lot.

It is true. It seems that saying sorry is but a small matter but in reality, it does require courage to admit your mistake and to apologize. Some people just can not do it and they have to carry the burden forever.

That is great and you are right that many people say the word just to pacify the person.

If I commit any mistake and someone points it out to me, I do not mind saying sorry for my mistake. I do not feel shy in admitting my faults. We are human beings and when we do something, mistakes are bound to occur. We wish that we could do things in a perfect manner but somehow we tend to commit mistakes. Saying sorry makes an affect on other person. Even if he may not forgive you immediately but our admission of mistake lingers on his mind.

Sometimes saying sorry is an act of bravery because only brave people admit their mistakes.

For me, it is not difficult to admit my mistake. Sametime I won't ask a sorry if I did nothing wrong. Sometimes the word is not enough to ease the pain but definitely give some relief who made the mistake. Yes, when I say sorry, I really mean it.

@Sreekala you have kind heart kala but all won't think in the same way . As you said saying sorry and admitting our mistake is no crime nor hard to accept it .One has to really mean it when they say it .

@cherigucchi Saying sorry is not hard , we can admit if we are really wrong there nothing bad about it . All won't think in the same way my friend , the reason is " EGO" many can't say the word sorry because of the feeling i mentioned before. Yes you are right the word " Sorry " will not taking our pain out but will definitely work like a cough syrup .

Glad that you agree with that. Saying sorry is not enough as well. We should also show the person that we are willing not let it happen again

That is what sorry is for. It means that you really are and want to do something better

For some people, I find it hard to say sorry. Other people makes it easier to say sorry sincerely but now I can't seem to say the words to someone even if I want to. Oh my. This is a first, I think. As unintentional as my current fault may be I feel I have to apologize or else things would escalate further into something I don't want to happen.

When I make a mistake I try hard to own it and admit it. If I'm sorry I say it and then try to better, I hate when someone get upset and then won't tell me what I did wrong because I can't not make that mistake again.

For me saying sorry is very easy especially if I know that it is my fault and I really mean it.

sorry , means yes i am wrong you are right. and who would like to adimit self is doing a wrong thing, if so , does he or she is a stuip or doom ? but anyway , sorry is a way to know people's quality. we might not easy to say sorry even in a bad feeling on something,and for long time it becomes a habbit no sorry in dictionary.
