Saying your sorry shows weakness, so I've heard.  What does everyone think?

The word "sorry" is one that people use in exchange or in part of an apology. The phrase "I am sorry" is meant to express sympathy or regret, but the word "sorry" can be interpreted as being worthelss or inferior.\n\nPersonally, I try not to say "I am sorry" because I am not a "sorry" person. I apologize for whatever it is I did/do wrong and move on.\n\nEveryone says "I am sorry" to excuse themselves from doing something wrong, and it can be interpreted as being weak.\n\n*I know the answer is redundant, but I hope I made my point clear.

Everyone gets upset and says things they don't mean. At least you're a big enough person to apologize. A lot of people never admit when they're wrong let alone apologize. I DO respect that in a person. It says you have a good heart. God bless.=)

Yes. Sometimes I think I should apologies to a girl I used to go to school with. I left school yrs ago so their r no chances of seeing her to apologies. I am sorry for being mean we do stupid things when we're kids. Its weird coz she wasn't a nice person her self, seemed like she thought she was better than everyone else and she was really really weird used to touch people and do strange stuff and people including me were mean to her coz of that. But if I could go back. I would not have been nasty to her to her. Probably would have just ignored her. But I'm sorry I was un necessarily mean to her. Also I am rude to my Mum sometimes which is very wrong.

I can't answer that, because I try to be considerate of peoples feelings.  You appear to be having a bad day.  I'm sorry for that.

It's never too late. The only thing that changes is the expected outcome. When you say "sorry" right away, you're typically looking to fix or renew a relationship with the other person. But eventually there is a point where it's in the past and can't be renewed. At that point, the purpose might be more for you than for them, to help you let go, ahieve closure, and assuage guilt.\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com

Same thing I do when someone stupid wants to talk to me. I smile and nod and every once in a while I say "I'm sorry" Most people feel better after they have vented. Even if your not paying one bit of attention to any words they are saying!

no way. lol, i'll be honest. i consider myself a pretty mellow guy, and i'm usually the type to try and make a deflectionary comment rather than an insult. but if it gets bad enough, i'm gonna start saying stuff, and it comes out fast and is usually accompanied by me setting my shoulders and clenching my fists. lol, i hate to get that way, but i'm not perfect.

How about telling her that she was right?\nIt isn't specifically admitting defeat, but it would get the job done and open the conversation for you to actually say the thing that you want to say. Which is that you are sorry.

Hmm. Not the easiest thing to do, is it? If you by nature are temperamental that's just who you are. You could do some physical exercises. Run, swim, box. Whatever. That is a great way to let out steam. For some people getting older takes off some edges too.\n\nAs long as the words "I'm sorry" are a part of your vocabulary I think the people around you will forgive you blowing a fuse now and then.

I disagree. Everyone here can only see words- not actions. Obviously if I am making obscene gestures at you right now, that doesn't speak so loud, does it? But if I write these words:\n\nMY THINGY IS SMALL AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!\n\nLoud and clear, huh?

Love is all about forgiving and forgetting, so I don't think the person who came up with this quote was very successful in his love life. In a way, I do agree with it if you love strong enough to KNOW that each other is sorry, but I'm a verbal person, so I always say I'm sorry when I am.

Next to I love you ......I'm sorry are the most abused words in our language.I never use them because I never mean them,not in a relationship.They mean nothing .Useless words.Don't mess up and you never have to say I'm sorry

Men don't like to admit they did something wrong or they don't know something. Have you ever heard of grown men saying "I'm sorry?" It just doesn't happen. They will always say "I couldn't help it." "It wasn't my fault." It just in genes.
