Do you apologize easily?

I have no problem apologizing if it's really my fault; I can own up to it. But I'm not saying that I'm proud of it. But if its something that I totally have nothing to say sorry for, then I won't. I don't take this lightly, because I don't want to have to "abuse" the word sorry. Just to end a conflict, I will just keep quiet and we can talk later when were both calm. But just to avoid it, umm, I don't think so. If there is something to address, i would rather we talk about it later on than just to say sorry and be done with it without even knowing what's really going on.

I don't say sorry unless I mean it. If we apologise all the time the words lose their meaning. I would never say sorry to end a conflict, I would just go quiet because it takes two to tango. It is rather like people saying 'I love you' all the time. It is most appreciated, like all good things, when they take us by surprise.

I would say that I am truthful about situations. I am sorry if there is a conflict, but not sorry about what I've said or done if it is the truth. Just sorry that the disagreement has come. Maybe it is about the way I have reacted. I feel that whatever anybody says it their opinion, if it upsets me then that is my contribution to the situation. In other words, I am making myself upset about what I am hearing, if you know what I mean. A conflict rarely matters very much the next day or later, so conflicts which produce arguments are not really of value. If we are to stay aware of what is going on in the conflict, then there can be value so that we can learn about ourselves and how we have been conditioned. If we can see how we have been conditioned to react to certain situations, then we can transcend those conditions. It does not matter if you say sorry or not, providing you know for yourself what it true. Circumstances may call upon you to tell a white lie by saying sorry, for the sake of the other person. Providing that you know the truth is that you lie, I cannot see any problem with that. Know the truth - that's all that's needed in my humble opinion. _Derek

I will apologize if that is the right thing to do. I will say sorry if I am in the wrong. But I won't apologize if that is not my fault. But I will never want to quarrel with anybody who does not agree with me. I believe in maintaining a harmony environment. Even when we disagree with each other, we can still discuss it in a friendly manner. Too much "sorry" is not good for health.

I feel that I have an overly forgiving personality. Even to those who do not deserve this blessing I will offer it to them.

I will not apologize if the person I am talking with or had arguments is not sincere. It takes a lot of courage for some people to do it, but I don't like the idea of doing it without being sincere. I like the idea for having a peaceful relationship with somebody, but not to the extent I will not bow down my head to its level of having ignorance.

I hate to argue as well conflict is awful sometimes it seems to come in waves,one minute you are floating along quite happy then boom it all goes up in the air.I try to say sorry if I think it will end an arguement.My relatives are great at dropping in and start up about other people I love, then in defending them end up in a row.I decided to stop seeing those relatives that do this.some people just cannot stand anyone being happy.They find problems where there are none and pick till you burst.If I have upset someone then yes I will say sorry and make them see I really am sorry.Sorry is used like the word love, just thrown away and can mean nothing.I only say it if I mean it otherwise it is just hot air and means nothing

It is better to live peacefully and without any enemy. There is nothing wrong in swallowing ego. It is better than live with heavy heart

If Im really at fault then why not? Its still better to live life with no enemies but then if Im the one offended then I wont ever bow down my head to say an apology just because I showed ill mannered reaction to was done to me.

When I say sorry to someone, it means that I am truly sorry. It is not just a word that would come out of my mouth because of just getting used to say the word without intentionally being remorseful.

I try to apologize either way. I don't have a hard time apologizing if I know that I have done something. Even if I didn't do anything wrong if someone else thinks I did or that I offended them then I would still apologize. I think that keeping the peace is best for everyone involved.

I apologize or say sorry when I'm really wrong. However, there is one incident that I apologize too even when I was not wrong just to have peace. At the end, she wronged me again. This time I did not say sorry anymor. I jusst avoid conflict and have our own ways. One should really weigh when to say sorry or els one will be abused as well.

Now a days the word "sorry" is so easy to say to end the discussion/arguments, but deep inside "sorry for now wait for my revenge". Many people are still not sincere when they say sorry, and some people think its to easy to say sorry so they will do or say bad to others because to them its so easy to say sorry. But me... i say sorry sincerely, i will not argue i will just defend my self and say sorry. I'm think that is the process before you say sorry, explain your side listen to the other side and say sorry.

for me not so often, i will just say sorry if its my fault/mistakes and will ask apology or sometimes i will explain than saying sorry to make it clear and we both can understand. god bless

It depends on the situation, if it avoids confrontation then I would rather back down and apologize, I feel uncomfortable and don't like any confrontation, in this instances it's just one word and it can make all the difference, even if you don't mean it. I think I have got better over the years, I used to be a terrible apologizer, and I would apologize when clearly it wasn't my fault!

I always say sorry no matter who's fault it is. Even in very small things, I always say sorry. When I was a kid, my parents and my granny always makes me say sorry for even small things I've done wrong or even in saying wrong answers or bad words. Also aside from sorry they make me say thank you always for the good things or good words that's done and said to me.

If I feel justified I don't apologize unless they can convince me that I'm in the wrong.

It is a common thing to do if we are guilty on others. Say sorry if you have mistakes. There is no one on the world that has never made a mistake. But the most astonishing is if someone has never said sorry.
