Apologize already and move the heck on.

People please explain to me why it is soo difficult to say your sorry and what you compare apologizing to?

I will start.

It is hard to apologize because it seems to give the person you wronged the upperhand in the matter... but wait does it really? When you sit there and think about it, apologizing is good for both parties involved.

I compare apologizing to freeing and taking a 10 pound weigh off my shoulders. 


 This thread should be flooded because most of us have done somethings that we should apologize for but won't so spill the beans...

I don't like to apologize if im bot wrong, and in my book I hardlt ever am. I know men don't like to apologize because it is a pride issue. IMO if they can't apologize when theyre wrong they just look weaker 2 me.

"I'm sorry" is one of the easiest words to say (I have children) you can say it if you don't care, if you want the person you're saying it to off your back, or just to please someone. Now to say your sorry and really mean it...that's a feat

I guess it would depend on what I'm supposed to be sorry for. I'm at my don't give a fuck stage where I apologize all day long...if it's proven without a doubt I am wrong. I've seen a lot of cases where someone has apologized to another person and the person being apologized to made the other's a living hell. An ideal apology situation goes something like this "Aw, fuck. My bad. Sorry about that". "No problem. Talk to you later." Keep gimping. From my observations most go something like this. "Aw, fuck. My bad. Sorry about that." "Yeah, no problem, man. By the way while I was golfing with the boss he let me in on a little secret. Yeah, you're fired. Sorry. Sucker."

Sometimes I apolygize to get out of an argument (I hate neagtivity), but most of the time I am sincere in apolygizing because I never would do that if I didn't feel it was nesscary. I have a tendency to be a bit of a hot-head and get very tempermental and angry at times when provoked. But that is only becuase some people like to fuck around and say somethinbg that "hits below the belt" so to say. If you touch that weak spot don't expect not to get hurt or vicously screamed at with no "I'm sorry" in returned.
Most males do not like to apolygize becuase some feel it hurts the male ego to do so. And some females, like my sisters, can be hard-headed and head-strong too.

It's one of my pet peeves to see parents force their children to say things they don't mean, like "I'm sorry" and they're grunting and obviously don't mean the shit. Then they wonder why their children become so adept at lying!
