Sorry seems to be the hardest word?

I totally agree with this statement, although I hate confrontation and arguments because it's all I saw growing up so I'm usually the first person to say sorry. I suppose however saying sorry for the sake of saying sorry takes the meaning away from it. I rarely argue with my partner because he's generally understanding, but once he left me on my own on a night out with no money and I was scared. When I finally got hold of him (after borrowing money for a taxi home to charge my phone), he was very drunk and after spending a lot of time before me single, less than understanding about the dynamics of a relationship. In the end after hours of arguing he apologized. I don't know about anybody else but after exhausting yourself trying to get somebody to understand why they are wrong, sorry just doesn't seem to cut it. It just seems too simple, too minor for the hurt you've been caused. On the other hand there are the people who find it too easy to say sorry. The type of people who understand what their doing but do it anyway, because they don't really care who they offend because they can say one little word and it's gone away. Until the next time they see fit to offend. I guess the best thing to do from my point of view is to decide who and what are important. Apologize when you know your in the wrong, but more importantly understand why and make a conscious effort not to do it again. When the tables are turned consider whether it bothers you that much

I think saying sorry is just so hard because of the fact that we are ashame of the mistakes that we committed. It's not easy to admit if we make something wrong and that we have to ask for an apology to that person. Honestly, I find it difficult for me to say sorry. It always depends on the person whom I will ask for. I always have that pride in me which makes me sick of this attitude. But being able to say sorry to the person whom we have hurt is the best thing that we can look up to. It makes our feeling lighter and the burden of the mistakes committed becomes less felt by the person. On top of this, the only thing that we should think is that we are able to apologize and say sorry for what we have done. No matter how hard and painful it is, we should do it so that the person may feel that we still have the heart to be humble enough and accept our faults and be a better person that we could be.

For most of us, saying sorry is really difficult. Because it is tantamount to admitting that you were wrong or you did something bad. And I guess, most of us hate to admit that we are wrong. We don't want give up our pride. So uttering the word "sorry" becomes really difficult.

Sorry would be the hardest word and most hurtful word for me when someone I love will say that word. Like saying "sorry,but I have to let you go" oh my goodness... but saying sorry for admitting mistakes is not hard as long as you are sincere and won't do same mistake again. have a good day and welcome to mylot jaiho®

many times in my long-ago past, it is really difficult, if not impossible to say sorry... but maturity takes over, a better understanding of human relationships prevail, and the having quality relationships becomes a priority... you know, eynjel, one of the stumbling blocks and uttering this word is our big, fat ego... we simply cannot admit to committing infraction, especially on friends... but once we see and understand how this negative pride can affect our relationships, we begin to break that wall... that wall that is not impregnable, after all... that's how i did it!

not every body has the courage to admit it when they wrong, i think it's a coward act when some one doesn't take responsibility for their acts, and face the consequences including saying sorry, apologized. some of us don't have a brain when we angry, we just talk to talk and act to hurt no matter who, no matter where and when. apologize its important believe it or not, it can relieve pain, avoid psychological damage even save life.

Because of our pride I think. We as humans love to judge but rarely recognize out loud that we were wrong so saying sorry is admitting that and it can be so hard to reach out the person and actually say it.

Yes, sorry is the hardest word, specially if you know that it was really your fault and a great damage has been done. Sometimes, pride is what hinders one to say sorry. It's as if when they say sorry, a chip of their dignity was gone. Yet, it's the other way around. When we say sorry, we gain admiration from the people we have offended. It makes them feel that you are really a true person, who commits a mistake, yet can own up to it.

because some people will take it as an excuse to blame you for further things you didn't even think of. When you say sorry they'll make you feel sorry you ever said the word. Personally, if I know I did something wrong I'll apologize, no matter what. It's important because if you don't you might distance yourself from the other person or involve into further arguments with him/ her.

True, indeed.. :) Sorry seems to be the hardest word to say. Most people really find it difficult to say sorry to someone they wronged. I must admit it myself too that I find it difficult to say sorry also. I know it's a weakness but every time when I get to hurt a person, I always find ways to say how sorry I am to a certain person and talk about it. Everything will be fine afterwards. :)

It is never hard for me to apologize to a person I have done offense to or hurt. But if have hurt the person and it is their fault why I have hurt then I will not have to say I was sorry. Sometimes for other people who can't do that is just ego and that they are proud and they neither accept nor admit that they are wrong. They always think they are right and they don't have to feel sorry for anyone. That is why many don't apologize because their pride is more important than the person they hurt.

A sincere sorry is the hardest word to say. It is very easy to say sorry to the person you have committed a sin. In my experience, I have done mistakes to my siblings and it is very hard to say sorry because in my point of view I'm correct but what I did was I apologized to him because it is the right thing to do as his elder brother. But that means nothing to me, It is like doing the right thing so that he will see or realize the right thing to do if something like that happens.

I can totally relate this situation with my group of friends. When there is disagreement or a fight between my friends, they would simply separate and not utter a word to each other. me and my other friends would simply be in the middle, trying to get the two fighting back together again. One fight took almost a year before because one wanted the other to apologize first. I don't find the word "sorry" to be hard to say because if it gets the problem solved, why not apologize?

It used to be hard for me, but now I realize that it is normal for everyone to make mistakes. For any relationship to work each person must be willing to apologize and also forgive. I broke up with a girl recently because she always acted like the victim and could never admit when she was wrong. It was not worth being with someone like that.
