I'm sorry

When I was a teenager, and my parent's first had me talk to a counselor for my depression at fifteen, she told me to quit apologizing to people, which was ironic because my mom had told me I say I'm sorry for things that aren't my fault. I want to make sure I apologize when I've hurt someone, or done something wrong. Saying I'm sorry can mend a lot of relationships, and I hope I can be humble enough to always accept responsibility for my actions. I'm sure I've offended some here, but I would hope they'd know it wasn't intentional.

Some people say sorry but do not know the meaning of the word..meaning they are only saying it for their benefit. They have no conscience to even feel sorry. I learned this many years ago. I always take it with a grain of salt. Also, those types which I mentioned, love for you to feel contrite as they then can hurt you more.

I am not too proud to apologize, but there are days I do not need to say "I am sorry" at all. We are my husband and I and I try to do nothing that could hurt him. As a German user used to say "Sorry" is something than American and Canadians say all the time, even when not needed.

I have never been bothered by anything you said. You are always polite and kind

I say "sorry" if I provide false information. One of my favorite things to say is "I don't know form sure. Let's research this."

I do say a sorry when I feel I am really wrong but some people say a sorry just to save the situation and keep committing the same mistake time and again.

No, never I am perfect in every way....

I am strong enough to admit when I am wrong. Taking pride in my faults. You're right, it takes strength to own up to your mistakes.

I definitely apologize when I know that I hurt someone.

I say I'm sorry many times a week. I won't say day because I live alone and who would I say I'm sorry to? However, when I'm around people, I often find the word sorry on my lips.

The only I never say I am sorry is when I share a story on social media that does not mention harming another person. If I am wrong saying something that I know is offensive, I am man enough to admit guilt and move forward.

When I’m wrong I always say I’m sorry. I certainly don’t want to offend anyone.

You have nothing to apologize for. I agree with you that it takes strength to admit you were wrong. Enjoy your Sunday.

Yes it's fine to apologize if it's our mistake

There is nothing wrong with making a mistake and saving you are sorry. You have to except your actions.

When we walk around a corner, and nearly bump into someone, coming the other way, we usually both say sorry to each other. It sort of breaks the situation over, and we both laugh a little and walk on. When we have really done something thoughtless towards someone, we should apologise for that too. The word sorry, is used here, also, when we do not hear someone properly, and we will say sorry so that they repeat what they last said again. What is the value of saying the word sorry, then? Sorry is a lever into love, in the fact that it allows some entry of a conciliatory humour, or forgiving softness, to reverberate in the someone, being said sorry to, rather than for the situation to fester in them, in a non-loving, almost vengeful way.

I'm Canadian. 'Nuff said.

I've lost count of how many times I've uttered that word. It's almost comical, like apologizing to a rock you mistook for someone's foot or to a wall you accidentally bumped into, thinking it was another person.
