Is it hard for you to say SORRY?

When I was a kid I had a group of "friends" that liked to play games with me. They made it impossible for me to fit in and always had me chasing after them. They'd be mean to me and I'd end up apologising to them, even though I'd done nothing, because I was scared of having no friends. They made my life miserable. When I got older and got some self-respect I vowed never to be walked over like that again. Now I find it really difficult to apologise for anything because I feel like it puts me in a vulnerable position again. Ambrose Bierce defined apologising as "To lay the foundation for a future offense." I know I should get past this, but it's really hard.

sometimes it is for me but if i know that i did something i will say i am sorry take care

I have no problem with saying I'm sorry. Though I probably say it at times when I don't even need to. I'm always so afraid of hurting someones feelings.

yes, its a bit hard to say sorry especially when you did wrong that you really doesn't meant to do it. its like that... Anyway, people tend to do things they do not want for a reasons, but some of people do wrong incidentally. We're only human, well no ones perfect. And saying SORRY is not a matter of swallowing your pride its a matter of choice you have to face. =)

I am the opposite.=) Its not hard for me to say sorry, Especially if I believe that I do have fault. I guess I am the kind of person who wants everything to be just fine, I never want issues & misunderstanding to stay long. I guess they are just stress right? however, if I believe that I really don't have any fault, come on, you wouldn't sEe me say those words.. I will firmly stand to what I believe - is it pride? I guess its more than that, I guess its principles & standing on to what you belive is right.. if the other person would not admit his or her fault, I stay away from that person for a while & let him/her ponder on what she said or do, maybe in that way she/he'll realize that she/he's kinda wrong. =)

I don't think its should be hard to say sorry. When you are wrong you should say sorry. Saying sorry is not an humiliation! Infact i think people who recognise their errors and say sorry in public are great!

i would say sometimes it depends, if you believe you're right it's hard to apologize because of pride and philosophy. sometimes it's easy too if you are guilty or just really sorry.

Yes, it's really hard for me to say sorry whenever I did or say something wrong. But once I've heard the words which I still remember: if you make a step first you're really a strong person.

Apologizing shouldn't be easy. When it is hard, that means that you really feel it and aren't just saying it to appease the person you are apologizing to. So, yes...saying I'm sorry is very hard for me. Because I mean it from the depths of my soul to the top of my head and out through my toes. I don't say it unless I mean it and, I always mean it when I say it.

If you are saying that you know when you are wrong but it's kinda hard for you to admit that, I would say it is in reality, pride. If you think you were wrong or you have done something wrong to a person, say sorry. It may not be a big deal to you, but you don't know how it is to the that person. I understand your feelings though, you maybe shy, or hesitant, or whatever. But I still see it as pride Anyway, what you might want to consider doing to overcome that shyness or hesitation or pride, is try to figure out if you're in that person's shoe. What would you feel? and what would you feel if somebody do you wrong and would not accept and apologize for it? You know some people would drag somebody in court and spend money just to make him/her apologize. ;)

i guess its more of pride and ego...both want to say sorry but hold back casue of ego

i don't think that it is too hard to say sorry. bcoz once you committed a mistake it is a must that you should say sorry.that means you are ready to admit your mistake.and it will not be a negative quality, means one who with an open mind and ready to accept others' feelings as yours. so be kind and do not regret when you say sorry.
