There are people who do easily just that accept that they are at fault but there are those who do have that high egos on which they do really believe that they are always right even if its not.
It is really that not easy to say sorry if you do know that you are on the right but due to some time that we dont like hassle and make arguments then we do just simply let it slip
and dont really fight for our right. It is really just that depending on a certain persons personality because not all does have that patience and short tempered.
So it will really be that varying on certain conditions.

Pride makes it hard for us to say sorry. We don’t want to feel weak or admit we messed up but saying sorry can fix things. It’s just about putting our pride aside for a moment.

What are the most common reason why is it hard to say sorry to someone?

There is nothing too hard in saying sorry, many were only too stieveneck and pride has gone over them as well, they lack regard for people and they will always find it difficult in saying sorry even when they are at fault, this is something that will also cost them because they are not going to achieve anything from this  kind of behaviours, we have to learn how we can be well acquainted to how others live in the society and learn to take responsibilities.

No on da can always be right at all time, no matter how perfect we try to be, the fact still remains that at some point, we’ll still end up making one or two errors and saying sorry shouldn’t have to be such a big deal because it shows just how humble you are and that you also regard and respect others too, because not ever saying sorry is like saying you’re perfect and can never make any mistakes which we already know just how false that is.

I knew people that can't admit their mistake and the attitude that they've known to the others that weren't good at all. It's all about their pride and they don't want others to become better than them. So with that, all they want to do is to make sure that they are still way up and higher than the others despite that it is their fault that make others intimidated and they won't be surprised if those people they have stepped in are no longer with them.

i dont know

First off I am sorry if I offended you or anyone on this thread.
I know that


 if you can’t say you are sorry you are likely suffering from the inability to ask “Am I the backdoor”

Reddit has a really long section/thread about asking if you are the wrong person.

So to anyone that finds it hard to say they are sorry, look up the Reddit thread Am I the backdoor.

It's hardest to say sorry when you're really ashamed of what you did because you feel like just saying sorry isn't enough because it won't change anything. There are many people who do not say sorry and do not make amends even after making a mistake. It's easiest to say sorry when you don't care or care to some extent. It's easy to say when you think yes i did something wrong. Maybe i shouldn't have gone this way or it would have been better if i didn't do it this way.

If we made a mistake and discover that we are wrong, then we should not hesitate to say sorry, if we are not the one that made the mistake and being accused of it, we should not argue too much and let pride go over us, say sorry, the word sorry is so powerful that it can change a wrath to calmness, anger to being cheerful and judgement for pardon, but only a few understand what is behind saying sorry.

The only thing in this whole wide world that can make a complete person to not say sorry or refuse to admit they are wrong is #pride. But it is not compulsory you must say sorry only when you are wrong or at fault sorry is also a symbol of love and charisma it means you value whatever you have with the other party even if you don't know the person but when you say sorry means you want peace.
This small word sorry can send so many countries and people to war and can also settle a very strong dispute.
We should learn to kill our pride and say sorry always.

You are correct. Individuals who have pride in themselves find it hard to say sorry because they feel that their actions are always right; they don't want to feel less of themselves. Not saying sorry makes them appear tough not knowing it's stupidity. Someone doesn't take stupidity anywhere.

When you offend someone or do something wrong, the right thing to do is say sorry. Sorry calmed people's minds, it doesn't take anything away from you or make you feel like a weak being

This is that other people traits or behavior does have on which they do really feel out that they are always right and these kind of individuals doesnt really that accept any reasons and would stood firm into their decisions and beliefs. It do really sucks when having this kind of behavior of a certain person on which this doesnt really want to hear out other peoples explanations on which there's nothing we can do. Somehow it will really be that somewhat situational because there are indeed times or moments that it wasnt really that our fault and saying up sorry is something which is really that hard for you to consider out.

It is not hard to say sorry if you are not a proud person. So the question should be, how do we get rid of pride.

People find it difficult to accept their own mistakes because of their pride. When both sides of a conflict believe they are right, it is difficult for either party to accept responsibility and apologize. This is so common among people who do not see the value of friendship, and accepting responsibility for their mistakes becomes difficult because they are unconcerned about losing the friendship. 

Personally, I have been in a situation where I apologized when it was clear that I did not cause the misunderstanding. Even after a third party intervened and it was resolved that the other person was at fault and should apologize, he did not, so I had to apologize to ensure that there was peace between us. So, as you mentioned, pride is a major reason why most people struggle to say sorry.

What are the most common reason why is it hard to say sorry to someone?

Pride is the most common reason I can think of, because if you are humble with no pride, saying sorry or apologizing for something will not be difficult for you to do.

Another reason I can think of that I can understand is that saying sorry sometimes to someone can be a sign of weakness. That is why you find out that some people do not apologize in words but apologize with actions.

I agree with your opinion here as I have been able to ask a friend this question in the past and what you have said here is exactly the response I got from him. He told me that he just feel that saying sorry or apologising makes him look like a weakling and he detest that but he prefers to show it in action to make amends than saying it out to the person he has offended. Some people grew up that way and maybe they saw their parents acting it than saying it which they could understand and that might be the way they see it and their perspective about apologizing is like acting it than saying it to the person they have offended.
