Why is it hard to say sorry

[bisdak40]

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

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.

I get what you’re saying. Some people think saying sorry makes them look weak, so instead, they try to show it through their actions. It’s just how they’re wired, maybe because of how they were raised or what they saw growing up. Instead of saying it outright, they’d rather fix things or act differently to show they’re sorry. It makes sense, but I guess it’s all about perspective.

This is very true!
I have a friend who never says sorry, rather than saying sorry, he’d rather do something that’ll show he’s actually sorry, like get you an I’m sorry gift or take you out to a fancy restaurant or something just to show he’s sorry and when I asked him why it’s so, he don’t even know why it’s so, all he kept saying is that, it’s better to show you’re actually sorry than just saying it.
And one day while we were talking, I got to discover that he saw the same behaviour from his father while growing up, whenever his father had a fight with his mom and it's actually his fault, rather than saying sorry, he’d simply just get his mother a gift that says it shows he’s sorry, and he grew up with that mentality and it became part of him.

Wow...that's a nice one. He didn't understand that his Das was doing it for the love he has for his wife. There are many situations whereby, you run into strangers and hurt them mistakenly, how will he say I am sorry to such people. Just the word I am sorry will change so many long faces in a moment.

Sometimes it is really that part of being a good person on which even with the simpliest gestures on which at the time that these things happen will really be that making some change at least. Its not that you will really be losing something if you do just simply do these things up, there are really just that those individuals who are really that too sensitive or having that high ego on which they do really saw up that they are always up or ahead with other people. This kind of behavior is really that totally shit and sooner or later when experiences do give out some hard learnings which you will be able to realization.

Obviously, some saw it in their parents actions maybe their mom and dad are the type that hardly says such words to each other rather they prefer to act it through buying of gifts, surprise outing etc just to show how sorry they are and their children being very observant and also learning such, it becomes their perspective of  apologizing. While some are just being shy to say such but would prefer they do something remarkable in place of saying they are sorry. I have a lot of friends that does this around me  so it's not strange to me.

You've said nothing but the truth, A single sorry can't make you look weak or irresponsible. In fact, saying sorry can be a powerful way to make amends, especially when other attempts to make up for their mistakes. There are different kinds of people in this world, and some people may forgive quickly, while others may require a more sincere and face to face apology. refusing to apologize or doing so in an inappropriate manner can make it harder to earn forgiveness.

There are people who do have that some troublesome ego on which they wont really be that saying sorry because it will hurt up their ego and this is why its really that there are those people who do have those kind of behavior or character on which they dont like to be admitting when it comes into their mistakes and errors and would really be that not wanting to say sorry and this what makes other situations becomes even more shit and problematic. We are just humans on which we cant really be that perfect on every decisions and actions that we are taking. This is why it will be that situational but its impossible that you cant be able to realize your own mistakes.

Well, saying sorry shouldn’t be all that bad you know, except the person in question isn’t wrong after all, but then again, how can one really know that he’s right because what’s in one perspective could equally be wrong looking at it from a totally different perspective. And that’s why sometimes, even when people feel they are right and shouldn’t have to apologize or say sorry for a particular action, it’s advisable to overlook everything at the moment and just say sorry for peace to reign, and when the atmosphere is clear, you could quietly make the person understand and acknowledge where he has gone wrong. I believe this is a much better approach.

There are several factors that can contribute to someone not being able to say sorry to others and one of such factors could be pride and arrogance as these factors make people to feel big and always think that they are always better than others so to them what ever that they do is the best so even if they do something against other they are not obligated to say sorry to others and pride is one thing that has really brought many people down and this is one thing that we should fight against in our life as it's not a good attribute

I will agree with your opinion here, pride has caused the downfall of many people and when it comes to situations like this, people of that nature barely say sorry. I have encountered them in many situations, you can see their pride and arrogance they feel that they are above you, and for that, they do not bother to say sorry, they just ignore you and keep being arrogant like only them exist. This is the reason why when many of them start having issues, nobody goes for their support instead they avoid them and they fall straight to the ground without anybody coming their way.

People do think that once they do let someone passed through and commit out their mistake is that it do shows up some being weak and thats why other people be seeing this to be that a not a good thing. This is why their pride will really be raising them up and thats why forgiveness is something that will be out of their vocalbulary. This is the main reason on why it is really that hard to say sorry or accept out their mistakes on which there are indeed people whose like this.  Each person does have their own different behavior and qualities and thats why we cant tell on what are the things that they would gonna do.

Personally, if I am right, I will not apologize to the person who is my opponent, even if he is older than me, because my principle is that if I am right, I will stick to my personal beliefs, and what they did to me has left a deep impression in my heart and memory, it doesn't matter if people say I am vengeful.

Well that’s a totally different case. It’s different from being wrong and finding it difficult to accept and acknowledge their mistakes and also refusing to apologize, on the basis that they are actually older than you. This is a very wrong way to act towards others. Although, sometimes, even when I know I’m right, to avoid further prolonging the issue, I’d just say sorry and just let the issue die off. This strategy is mostly effective when approaching or engaging in an argument with women.
