can not say sorry, or even admit that they are in the wrong.Even when caught out, why is it that people can not bring themselves to say the S word or at least admit to what ever they have done.Why is it that when they have done what ever it is, they then go and do the same all over again, thinking it will be ok and that they will be forgiven each and every time.A person can only take soo many knocks, before they have had enough.

Because people think to sorry means to get low or think it is against their self respect but which should not be the case you should say sorry to your elders/youngers if you are wrong you should not feel ashamed of saying sorry. Because if you are wrong & you don't feel sorry for it then the dispute remain as it is or get increased.Therefore always think of it" it wont effect your self respect in sny case".

Because of their pride and always wanting/needing to be right. And because they aren't sorry. And if the other person lets it go then this person feels it is okay and does it again. It needs to be addressed and the person needs to know it is not exceptable behavior. If not it is repeated.

Alot of it arrogance. Not all of it but I know alot of people who are and will never admit when they were wrong! I know people who won't admit they are wrong because of pride! My dad never admited when he was wrong because it his way of relieving stress. He never thought or cared it hurt people,especially me!

hi joystick! I think people won't say sorry because they don't feel they have something to be sorry for and saying sorry without knowing what they have done wrong is just plain stupid. It also has a lot to do with their pride and won't admit their mistakes, or they don't think they made a mistake. The key there is communication, talking about why that particular mistake ought to be stopped because it might ruin the relationship.

I have been there and done that. I remember when I was married, I was always wrong. Nothing I did was good enough and I was dismissed all the time. I was lied to and fooled. I will never let that happen to me anymore.

Those kind of people have too much pride. Their ego could not accept or admit to themselves that they have done the wrong thing and hurt others. Once they are caught in the lie, self-reliance is already impossible to them. Sorry, for them means to swallow their pride and they won't do it for the fear of rejection.
