a good friends are always there for us in times of difficulties, was there a time in your life when you had an arguments with one of your friends and the last thing in your mind to do is to say sorry and your pride is commanding you not to say so????

When I'm having an argument with a friend the only thing i want to think or say is sorry. I'm sure with some people, they don't say it even though they want to. But when it comes down to an argument with me and my friend I just throw out the word sorry like feeding a fat kid cake. Sometimes our pride can take over and not let us say it but some people it's an easy thing to say and for others it's hard. Mainly it depends on the person and their personality if it comes down to an answer.

i think your correct, we have different perspectives and again it will be depending on people how to accept each others mistakes and learn how to deal with it...saying sorry doesn't hurt at all....

I think those who reluctant to say sorry of their mistakes and those who reject apolozies is arogant and uncivilised. If the person saying sorry from the bootom of his or her heart is a nice person as s/he understood their mistake.

I don't mind saying sorry if I figure that I'm on the wrong side. But if I believe that I am on the right side, I must admit that it's so hard for me to say sorry. One reason is because I believe that I'm right and the other reason is my pride. I will not deny that most of the time my pride is stopping me to just say sorry just for the sake of ending some arguments.

well i think so, sometimes pride is actually holding us back not to say sorry especially when we are on the right arguments....some people are not in any intention of saying sorry even if they are the one who did the wrong thing...those people let us say sometimes are self-conceited and self-centered, however, because we are really the one who can understand we sometimes eat our pride, as you mentioned for the sake of ending and putting a period to the story, anyway, come judgment day, you can stand before God with clean and honest conscience...so there, thanks for your time....

its funny because whenever there is something wrong and if my friend caused the problem or misunderstanding, i always said sorry if i am involve. others might find me stupid of doing so or they might say im too soft, but for me, just for the sake of friendship, even if he/she is wrong i still say "sorry for what happened". shall i say i dont think of my pride but rather i only think of a relationship to never end or break. this might be my weakness as i always accept others faults, i just dont want little things to get big and i hate trouble so its better to turn myself down and accept what others had done to me rather than pinpointing mistakes to who is who---this will never end. ;)))

Yes!!!! recently i had a real steamy fight with one of my few good old friends and you know this person as well. He started it by the way, but then i just responded to the heat of the argument until we were like bringing up the old issues we had and started really fighting with the text messages we are exchanging. He started it though because i was really being stubborn asking indecent stuffs that my friend and his boyfriend was doing. my friend's boyfriend though started liking me even before he knew my bestfriend. when i went out in a bar with this guy, i asked my best friend to come along then they got to know each other that time. until one day, i was shocked when my bestfriend told me that they are having relationship now with this particular guy that i was with that time. i just simply asked how come? then he just actually ignored me. i kinda felt jealous though because i also liked the guy but then i haven't taken his advances because of some stupid reasons inside my head.
as time goes by, my pride is the one telling me not to send any text message to my best friend. but then again i just thought of the times we have been together through thick and thin. and whatever bad things i have done before in my life, i just simply said sorry for all of that. i just forget all about the guy that made our arguments that far. anyway, it's his loss and not mine!
