Sometimes it's so hard for us to say how sorry we are to the person that we hurt. Our pride won't let us. How do you manage to say sorry to the person that deserves your apology without hurting your pride?

you need to hurt your pride, thats what sorry means, i am wrong and you are right, so saying you are wrong hurts your pride anyways.

Doing something wrong intentionally or unintentionally hurts my pride. Admitting I was wrong is not an attack on my pride. I would have no pride at all if I would not admit when I was wrong, or sorry I had done something. That would actually be arrogance, which is not pride at all.

i wait for the time when i could already accept that i have made a mistake. it could be for a few minutes, few hours, or even a few days depending on the situation or case. it is not easy to admit that you've made a mistake especially if you think that what you did is just right. but when other people tell you that it's wrong, you'll start giving it a deeper thought. once you have finally realized that you've done something wrong, it would be easier to say sorry.

I manage to do this by only saying sorry when it's truly deserved. I have no problem saying sorry if it's truly deserved, but if it isn't deserved then I won't lie and say I'm sorry because I'm not. I won't do it to save face. If I did something wrong, then it's on me and I apologize when I calm down because I feel it's the right thing to do.
