I honestly have no problem apologizing when Iv made a mistake, I think its important to be able to accept responsibility for your own actions and mistakes, to me if you cant be honest with yourself its emotional unhealthy and when I make mistakes in life, its makes me feel better inside to let go and just tell whom ever I may have wronged that I'm sorry. Is it hard or easy for you to admit your wrong and say that your sorry?

Yes I understand believe me, becuse for years I found it a bit hard to say I'm sorry, but now that I'm a little older I understand the importance of accepting responsibility for my actions and its not good to hold things inside especially if I do something wrong, and I feel much better once Iv gotten it out and let it go so, by just agnoliging my mistakes its a very freeing, and from there I learn from it and move forward. thank-you for being honest and posting.

Hi, I definitely don't have any trouble admitting and apologizing for what I've done wrong. It's good for myself that I don't have to carry the bad or guilty feeling forever, and to the other person, he or she will sure to feel better and would not be angry with me after that.

If I've made a mistake, it's easy for me to realize that I've made a mistake, and it's really easy for me to apologize. However, if I haven't done anything wrong, haven't made any mistakes, then I don't have anything to apologize for. I don't have any reason to say that I'm sorry.

i think it is hard to say sorry to someone depending on what you did to hurt that person. if that person is really mad at you and you did somethings so horrible to them to be mad then yes it is difficult . if the person has feelings or sympathy for your sorry than its is easy but that's just me.

Well, apologizing or a simple sorry has not been a problem. But I often find myself strugging to say sorry with my own people - i dont know if my ego takes over my consciene or what! in a way you are right - saying sorry can relieve you of a big hidden guilt you may be carrying for ages!

i will apologize for every mistake i have done either directly or indirectly.If any wrong i have done and the person is not in my city i will apologize him in my mind so that i will feel free.And nowadays telling sorry became a fshion as some telling for fun and someothers for some usage.I think its easy to say sorry and if we did infront of somebody whom we know or somebody the person whom we are going to tell knows then it will become a good remembering to him that we told sorry to him infront of all and we also can be happy so that every one knows your behaviour that we will not harm anybody knowingly right!!!Nice topic to start and thanks for starting this topic ke smiling and have a great day ahead!!!

I do find it hard to say sorry or to let things go sometimes, particularly when I know I am in the right. Am getting better at saying sorry when I know it is my fault, but even then I struggle, especially when people take advantage of that and try to push it and use it against me at a later time, one of those natural human traits.

If I know within my heart that I have done wrong or hurt to someone, I always apologize to the given individual or individuals.

hi nice to see your opinions.even i dont feel shy ,when apologising someone,when i have committed a mistake. if i have done something wrong,i do ask their forgiveness and asking forgiveness shows that we are repenting over what we have done. it shows our mental stability. happy mylotting

I find it pretty easy to apologize when I am in the wrong. I feel better when I let someone know that I am sorry. Like most people, I do hate to be wrong, but saying "I'm sorry" is the right thing to do ;)

Its very easy for me to say sorry to someone if it can make the relation any better . But i found out that i don't feel ashamed at asking sorry to my friends but i do feel ashamed asking from my family . I don't know why my ego comes out there . I know its not right but even if i try i cannot ask sorry to them and i know i am wrong there . Many times i get into fight with my big sister and we end up not talking to each others for hours . Finally she always comes to me and hug me saying she sorry even if it was my fault . I feel bad about my behavior but seems like its hard for me to make first move .

It is easy for me to admit I am wrong, if I am indeed wrong and have made a mistake. All I need to do is, just stay calm and look at the situation from the other person's perspective.If I realize that had i been in his/her place I would have felt bad too, I will immediately apologize. After all we all are humans and make mistakes. So I never let ego get in the way :)

It is really easy for me to accept my wrong and say sorry to someone. I don't know why but I kinda got used to it. It makes me feel better in the end. In fact, even when I'm not the one who's at fault, I'm still the first one to say sorry. I think I just can't stand not being in good terms with someone. Especially to someone really close to your heart.

Hi apples99, if I have made a mistake I would express my apology sincerely to the person. If I could I surely would try my best to put right the mistake. I would feel easy after I have admitted my fault. If we really have done anything wrong, we should be blamed and accused of course. If I know I don’t make any mistake I would try my best to explain to the person. I dislike someone to misunderstand me and keep on accusing me. I like getting together with others friendly and harmoniously. Happy posting

It's easy. I mean if i'm the one at fault. I do admit my mistakes and i don't have problems with my ego about that because i think it's better to say sorry or i might regret something later by not doing so. Sometimes i would just say sorry just to end the discussion or argument. I would accept mistakes even if i don't deserve it. I guess one should really just give in and i'm usually the one giving in especially in a relationship. Though there are times when i wouldn't say sorry just to give someone a lesson that they can't get everything especially if they don't deserve it.

Hi apples! If I know I was wrong about something it's very easy for me to apologize. I think it's an important part of life to be able to admit our mistakes. We all make them. I think the only one that would be unforgivable would be the one we denied and refused to own up to. Nope..no problem saying I'm sorry.

I don't think it is difficult for me to say sorry to someone. It will be difficult for me to say sorry if it is not my mistake or someone is forcing to say so. Forcing can happen sometimes but not often. But that is someone affordable if doing for someone's satisfaction. Well it has witnessed that now many people are avoiding saying sorry and as a result of that politeness is going down.
