Hello, guys. When it comes to "sorry" I'm guilty. I'm having a hard time saying sorry to the person I've hurt. Not because i don't wanna say sorry because I'm not sorry, its just that i can't say those words. Maybe because of the pride, guilt feelings? I don't really know why... But i often make sure that trough my actions i can express that i am really sorry and i regret those moment that i hurt him/her. How about you? are you having a hard time saying sorry to the person you've hurt? What are your ways of saying sorry?

Its hard to say sorry especially the person you hurt is somebody who is close to you. Yes it hard but I mastered it already..To say sorry is the most easiest way to show you really feel. You can show all affection or give gift all you want..but sorry is the greatest affection and gift that you can give to a person that you hurt.. I'm sorry, that all you can say..words don't came easily, like I'm sorry.. Do you know that song? lolz

Hi, I can say sorry to strangers, but a little hard to say to my friends or my parents, I don't know why. One time I was really upset, and say something hurt to my sister, after that I feel really sad and sorry to her, but I just can't say that words, it's a little hard to me, so I write a letter to her, and tell her my feelings, sometimes write is better than say for me.

That in understandable. When you knew that you did something wrong, it is difficult to say sorry. In my opinion it is because of the shame that I have done this person wrong. However,even no matter how hard it is, i really do my best to utter"sorry" than just showing it. I feel alot better if I say sorry and at the same time prove through my deeds that I am truly sorry. How to prove it? Simply by not doing the same wrong thing again. :-)

It's easy for me to apologize because I don't let my pride get in the way. My father was like and I dont want to be anything like him. So, yes, I don't let pride get in the way of an apology. I would say sorry and try to make up for hurting the person by being nice or doing something to please him/her.

hi,simonelee, if I have hurt someone, I would say "sorry" to him/her, I think I am a very polite person,I do not like to hurt the feelings of others.if I make mistakes, I will ask my friends for forgiveness.for example, I borrowed somebody's book ,but I lost it,I would go for compensation and say "sorry" to my friend,if my friend still angry with that, I will try my best to get the same book.

I do apologies or say sorry. It is nice way to repair a problem even it's not my fault I do write letter or kneel down in front of them and restore every damage. It is nice feelings. I love to be happy and take away wrath in my heart. Then I have a peace of mind and have young looking. I love to do good even I'n not a perfect cos nobogy is perfect. But doing good is peace and happiness.

Hi Simonlee, "I am sorry for hurting you... i am sorry for being so insensitive... i am sorry that i offended you" are some apology statements that i've said to appease those whom i've hurt. if pride will take over, it will be hard for me to say it but if i know i've sinned or committed mistakes in all humility it will be easy for me to sincerely apologize.

It's easy to say that you are sorry. Meaning it is the hard part. Apology is only one part of the regret. Feeling it is so much more.

For me at first it's hard to say sorry because ever since is not my hobbit but when I get use to it it's easy for me to say because I manage my pride.

say sorry to others - Sometimes, it is difficult for a shy person to say sorry to the person you have hurt.
To be frank, until now, I have never hurt someone for my mistakes. If I hurt someone unintentional someday, I will have to meet such a similar situation with you. Yes, I am a shy boy and not good at saying sorry to others. In my opinion, if you can't say those words, I guess you can express your apologies to others with action. For example, when people who you have hurt are getting into troubles, you can encourage him/her to face the difficulities couragely, then I think the situation will recover to normal. So, perhaps action is the best way to say sorry. Happy myLotting!

saying sorry is very important, it gets rid of all the mixed emotions, i wish more people would apologize, i know a lot of people who do a lot of mean things, and never even think to apologize.

Hi Simonelee... To me, ther's northing to be felt bad about saying sorry to someone. This can only make the relationship better....this are the simple things which makes help to know each other in a much better way...it also shows what kind of person you are...if im wrong and i need to say sorry and if i dont then, my bad attitute comes in front....this can only spoile things... Everyone has their own ways of telling sorry....

It is easy to say these three little words, "I am sorry" just as easy to say, "I love you." If you have done wrong to a person, just utter the little words means a lot to the person whom you hurt. He will respect you for your admission.

well that is why pride is on the list of 7 deadly sins, but me? If you would ask me? I will! Specially if i really done something wrong and if i really do know that i hurt that person... It doesn't matter whether he/she accept my apologies or not, what important is i do apologize with all my heart and i mean it. I hurt a person will apologize, cause if i will be the one on that persons position i also do wanna hear some apologies. What are my ways of saying sorry? I will tell her sorry directly! It is not about pride anymore it is about feelings. What if my mother or wife is the one that get hurt what would i feel and the person do not seems want to say sorry? what would i feel? What would my love ones feel? That's all thank you so much!
