Does apologizing means that your always wrong and the other is right?

I agree. But, it could also be more of an apology for being in an argument. Not necessarily for what the argument was about. But, yes...sometimes you do have to swallow your pride and apologize for something that wasn't your fault, simply to end an argument that would otherwise not get resolved so you can move on to bigger and better things.

Gosh no! I apologize all the time when I haven't done anything wrong. I apologize for situations that make the people I love uncomfortable. I apologize (say "I'm sorry") when I feel that others are hurting in some way because I am sorry for their discomfort even though I had nothing to do with it. That's just how some people are made. We're very empathetic.

I would definitely agree with what you wrote about forgiving other people. Again, I would press that apologizing doesn't mean that we are wrong and other is right. I think it should be more about burying the hatchet, you know. For me, this is one very interesting topic since the peace will never sit on its place without someone apologizing others. Some people would see apologizing as an indication that he who apologizes is such a bravehearted man.

In my opinion, an apology means that the one making the apology is wrong or feels that he is wrong. If you apologize because you value the person more than your pride then it is not really an apology. But of course there is nothing wrong with doing that since everything is not black or white in this world.

In determing if apologizing is proper, we must have well-defined criteria. if we insist on apologizing without any criteria, maybe we would hurt ourself and our so-called the valued person,and even amout to anything. any apologizing is ditermined by a good criteria.

i agree.. but i am looking more on how to compromise... because taking everything is sometimes too hard... and if that always happening in the relationship... you'll burst in to tears and you'll find yourself can not forgive the person you love... anyways, if your partner loves you enough... he/she can apologize to you also... it's a two way street... good day everyone!! :)

No, it's not. Sometimes it's best to apologize, there's no need to be stubborn and prolonging nonsense. It's not like we're wrong but we're wasting precious time by arguing over something too simple. It's best to end it before things get worse. Also, apologizing is a sign of a great person as it takes a lot of courage to apologize.

I agree, sometimes you have to apologize to cut out the issues before it gets worst.

Saying sorry or apologizing doesn't mean that you are wrong. It only means that you are the one who understands the situation.
