    I know of so many arguments that i could completely forget about if all they said was those three words
    "I Am Sorry" (and sincerely, not cause your mad)



    but I admit, I have a hard time saying it too.
    If i did something wrong, I can admit I am at fault, but yea, it's hard for me to get the words I'm sorry out of my mouth as well

    no one wants to admit they are wrong i guess
     
  3. well, sometimes when youre sick of the bitching you say it..

    and even so, when im seriously sick of the person i am arguing with, i say im sorry just to shut them up.

    its the dalai lama way.



    but on the other hand, some people just have an ego as high as ten trillion donkey balls stack on top of one another... they just cant say sorry..

    i find it a turn off in girls..

    its hard to say sorry because you have to admit you were wrong. it lowers your self esteem!

    i won't mind saying sorry if i was doing the wrong.... but if another one was doing the wrong, i would expect the same.
     
  6. lol well worded

    thats what an honorable person would do.

    but there are some pretty dishonorable people in the world.

    Probably an ego thing if you have to say sorry if you have done something really wrong, guess some would think it makes you weak in a sense.

    I find it a bit hard to say "Sorry" at times

    Reminds me of the old Elton John track "Sorry seems to be the hardest Word"

    I actually do not understand how it would be hard to say sorry... if you're wrong, then admit it...

    People just don't want to admit they were wrong. It's a matter of pride for most people
    I'm like that...even if I knew I was wrong, I'd try to find some fault in the other person because I don't want to admit it

    Who likes to say sorry???????

    Saying sorry is admitting that you are at fault! I personally have no problems saying to sorry to people with the exception of my husband!!! But that's probably what everyone means in this thread right???

    You bump into someone and it's natural to say sorry. In an argument with your significant other..... forget it! It aint happening... and it goes on both sides... male or female! in the heat of battle no one is saying those 3 little words.

    IT'S A PRIDE THING!
     
  15. cus u admit your wrong, that's why people would rather drop the issue rather than say sorry.

    It's true it's hard to say to sorry when your ask too but saying sorry doesn't mean the other person will forgive you. Try asking "will you forgive me?" It will probably creep your friend out because no one ever ask forgiveness, one only admit their wrong.

    yep, stubborn and prideful =) It just sucks to admit that what you support and believe in is wrong
     
  20. its hard to say sorry lolz... especially when ur stubborn like me -innocent but if its a good friend or someone i like.. i will say it.. just to keep the friendship going.. but if its only a normal "friend" that i see like once a week.. no wai man.. i dont care THAT much..
    and most case it will fade away and few weeks later we say hello again
