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

Well, it think it's because everyone has a different mindset and everyone handles things in a different manner. So for example you might no feel to say sorry when you do a certain thing wrong because in your mind you don't see that thing as being wrong while other person thinks what you did was horrible and you should say sorry immediately. I don't find it hard to say sorry when I fell like doing it.

For me, it's damn hard to say sorry when I see that my mistake shows my incompetence or involves ego anyhow.
On the flipside, I can't help saying sorry to my close people in case I'm not sure who's falt it was. People matter more, in this case

I think these reasons are the most common, but they are often difficult to accept:

1.- You are not used to saying words like that.
2.- Your pride maybe makes it hard for you to do.
3.- Do not accept that you had an error.

Because when you say sorry you accept a mistake and accepting things is something that some people find very hard, but it depends a lot on each person and on reason for repentance.

It's because people can't accept their mistakes. And they are in a defensive mode, very very hard to admit to themselves that they have make a mistakes and the possible consequences of it.

Or possible they don't want to hurt the feelings of the other party and just chooses to ignore everything as if nothing happens.

Pride.

You can't accept that you are wrong and saying sorry makes you feel you are lowering your ego.

Sorry is basically admitting guilt. Of course it’s our natural instinct to not admit guilt.

There’s no normal reasn but its for the Pride,we can’t lowered our pride thats why even if we know about beinh wrong or committed mistakes yet we stand not guilty about that

I can't say for others but can share my experience.
I feel that sometimes is very difficult to say sorry because we don't want to confess that we are wrong or we are afraid that we will lose our reputation or authority.

We have different situation if we want to say sorry to the person we hurt sometimes maybe if we want to say sorry we are shy to say that sinple words but lot's of meaning. Apology is being a good person because you know that you are wrong of what action you do.

It is not hard to say sorry , saying the truth is the hardest part of it because sorry is just a word and is not difficult to say sorry to everyone. If you hurt someone and saying sorry is just easy as one , two , three , but the feeling is not the factor to make the person easy again in the situation. Saying sorry that is not meant is like fooling a person.

People don't like to admit being wrong, and have a sense of pride going on, don't know if its in our nature or some cultural issue.

Not an expert in terms of this topics but I guess it's more of a nature of human being.

It's more on a mechanism and reaction that we do when others find fault within us. Though this attitude can be removed base on how you were raised and on how you grew up, environment where you live at is also a big factor.

It’s hard to say sorry. For me, its like losing your pride and belittled by others. Your losing your power and kinda humiliating. I would rather say, “ i’ll do better next time” than “I’m sorry”

Because people are too proud to admit their mistakes

in your head you are sorry. You really are. But you can't say it. Something to do with Ego.

Is it hard though? I don't really find it hard to apologize esecially if it's my fault. Pride is something that needs to be taken aside sometimes if you want to be at peace both with yourself and with other people. A simple apology can have a lot of positive effects both for you and the other person.

It is because sometimes we feel like sorry is not enough to revoke the mistake that we did to someone,
sometimes it's not the word that works to make them see you feel sorry we must mix it with action and good deeds.

I agree with your point. When pride walks in, it's so hard to apologise. You need to be higher than yourself, to overcome this feature for the sake of your relationships

Most people are not able to accept what they are wrong. It is very sad. Everyone believes that they are right in any situation, and it is very difficult for them to accept the opposite.
Therefore, getting used to this, you will constantly meet with such people, the main thing is the ability to negotiate with such people.
I think that only smart and strong people can prove the opposite.

Not so hard for me,when I know there is something wrong from our side then it not a huge task to ask for apologize.

So if it is hard for you means then it depends on your living style,you need to build your character to let it accept what you had done.

Pride? Some people think that they are right all the time and they hardly admit they are wrong even if they have hurt others already. Accepting you are wrong is a sign of humility and saying sorry doesn't mean you are wrong and they are right but we say sorry if we hurt others by our actions or words but that doesn't mean you've agreed with them. Sorry means we value their feelings and we value relationships but some just don't care so they don't say sorry. Admitting you are wrong is different from saying sorry.

Since we always claiming to be right,  it is very difficult to say sorry when we did not feel offending someone.  Human beings find it very difficult to suspend their pride and accept responsibility because when ever we said sorry we take responsibility.

if you fail to master how to apologize to fellow brothers, it might be difficult for you to apologize to somebody else. our upbringing says much about we treat people around us.

Sometimes it's the fear of rejection that makes an apology so hard to say. The prospect of getting a cold shoulder, not being forgiven or losing a friend can understandably be unsettling, especially when it comes from someone you still love, care about and want to maintain a relationship with. Sometimes people feel that initiating an apology is a sign of weakness.

Well because it's hard to admit that we are wrong. To say sorry can hurt someone self-esteem. We're afraid people will reject or even shame us after that. It's pretty common feeling but I guess we apologize because we want to fix something or strengthen relationship, so it's the right thing to do.

I think this depends.

Sometimes when you are wrong and you fully accept within you self that you are, then you decide to ask for forgiveness, the offended now sees it as an opportunity to now deal wrongfully with the offender not minding the fact that the offender came to plead for forgiveness.

Another is on the side of the offender. In a simple statement "THEY ARE JUST PROUD"

It's hard to say sorry, because I don't want to get in that habit, so that I say it when I don't mean it.

I had a friend who who said sorry all the time. Finally one of the other guys said, You're not sorry, you're retarded.

Only say sorry when you mean it, but also when it is wise to say it.

Alasan saya tidak mau memaafkan orang lain adalah karna orang tersebut telah menyakiti hati saya sudah

I believe sometimes, its lack of humility and ego especially in men. Some individuals might acknowledge that what they have done is wrong but to say sorry becomes a big deal-- pride takes over and little issues mature to big issues. That is the case for me.

The important with that is you are do your best that you know that you are wrong. There is some people who are really reject if they say sorry to other people and I think those people need time also to think every well and everything will forgive.

Why is it hard to say sorry?

Because I have a bad attitude.

This attitude is that I'm right and the other person is wrong, and I'm not sorry that this is the way it is.

But if I were sorry that it is this way, I'd be sorry that the other person was wrong. Such would at least maintain half of my bad attitude.

 ;D

It's pride. Misplaced pride. And i think not a lot of people would have a hard time apologizing. Only those who are so consumed by their egos would find it hard to do so. They're just words and even if you don't mean it, saying it to someone will go a long way.

I would say, saying sorry is actually a nice feeling! Overcoming your pride and acknowledging another person's value

Sorry is basically admit mistake that you say sorry . And if you can't say it that something to do with Ego.

There may be as many reasons as there are people.
Generally speaking, though, it tends to be either due to pride, or due to the person who "should" apologize not thinking that they're in the wrong.
Dialogue and compromise exist though, as adults we ought to use those more.

It's a thing of Egoism. Comparison between two in which Who is more worth or valuable. But understanding the fact that saying sorry Wil not kill people and acting accordinly solves majority of the problems in our day-to-day life. Giving up ego is must in true relationships elsewhere we should prepare ourselves to giveup the relationship.

You're right. Many people say sorry only because they want to make other people feel better but lying is not the solution here because it will only resolve things for the moment. I also have friends that say sorry for everything they do wrong, or at least that's what they think and the only reason I can find for them doing this is the fact that they have a low self esteem and they belive everyone else is superior to them.

Because of our pride.
We feel that if we say sorry to someone, we confess that we are not so good person, or that we made mistake.
No one wants to admit that he is not such a good or perfect person :)

It is hard to say sorry because you admit that you made something wrong but sometimes you just say it to fix things up even it's not your fault. Just like what happened to me, I need to say sorry to someone who lies to me and who hurt me for me not to feel guilty. Sometimes we have to apologize on things that we didn't make, for them to realize what they did.

I guess people never want to admit they’re wrong and they keep being stubborn. So they refuse to apologize. I don’t know why this is so hard. We’re only human so we all make mistakes, just say you’re sorry. It’s easy.

see it from an different view ...



its easier to say sorry.. compared to ask for permission

Not all people who say sorry are doing wrong or mistakes maybe the person did not know that they are do wrong things or mistakes.
Saying sorry means you will fix the mistake or misunderstanding not means you are the wrong maybe you do first action to fix the problem because you are marture enough to understand the situation.

Only those full of themselves always find it very difficult to say sorry

To some people, apologizing can make some people feel vulnerable, or feel like they are in danger of losing their power and status. Others simply equate saying "I'm sorry" with admitting they're inadequate or incompetent, which makes admitting mistakes so much harder to do.

Exactly mate because sometimes we say words or do things carelessly and don’t know that we have hurt or offended someone by our actions so saying sorry is not admitting fault but to stop the issue and move on
And this is the best way if we really wanted to have a peaceful living,world is not for the people who has high pride but for the people who can reverse the situation for the betterment of all affected

How can someone hurt another person by apologizing? I think it has to do with your first option and the stupid ego that is ehynpeople findnit hard to say am sorry.

One who are not ready to accept their mistakes will never move to the next level,mistakes are the one will make us better person so saying sorry for our mistakes is nothing related to our personality.Everyone is just like you (imperfect).

Ego Pride etc many different reason why people hard to say sorry even they know he/she have mistkes
For in my own hard to say sorry because sometimes have people are didn't accept sorry

Ego is the big thing that stops one from saying sorry. Apart from this people have different reasons for the same. Some thing what they've did is right while the same in others view is a mistake. This is where people hesitate to say a sorry. Here some realization point needs to be reached which is possible only with the intervention of a third person.

To ask for forgiveness, for many it is usually difficult, because they believe that they are leaving their pride underneath, that they are lowering themselves, that it is not doing the right thing, but when you manage to have enough courage to do so they tell you no, it does not matter , the cross that has been removed is very large, the inner peace that you feel is unique, it is not having the weight on your shoulders.

Many times to get to ask for forgiveness is so difficult that the person is considered to have much more courage than any other to make that decision, but it is really healing to the soul. If you have done some kind of harm to someone, ask for forgiveness, so they say no, you have already done your part, your repentance, that is very valuable.

As mentioned above, the pride that exists inside our minds really affects our emotions, it's not hard to say sorry if we will just use our sincerity asking for forgiveness, but when ego interfere from our way surely it will be a hard thing to do, as you'll have a lots of reasoning inside your minds.

some people taking it as a Prestige problem but there is nothing to carry your Prestige will give something in your life so if you are doing something wrong say sorry at the time the problem will be solved.

In most cases it's just because we don't want to admit we were wrong, as was very well said many times here already, but in another cases it's because we fear to have a negative reply back from the other person.
It's possible to open your heart to say you are so sorry, but the other person might affront you back. I know it doesn't matter, as we are doing our part, but even knowing this, the feeling of being rejected pass through our minds and makes the apologize decision harder.

It depends on the situation that requires you to apologize , i have the opposite problem i apologize way too much most of the time
for stuff that's not even worthy of an apology. So it's incredibly different from person to person and topic wise

Because you do not want to hurt others. And it is your habit too.

because we are humans and our ego will stop you to say sorry if you are making any mistakes that is the problems here available in the mindset of your one this is the thing that we need to find the solution to teach it is not tough to ask sorry

Sometime we never need to say sorry, because not all the time, we did mistake and sometime other people hurt us, and they jealous with us, and in this wise some miss-understanding happened and no one is responsible for it.
But you are right, when we did mistake or misbehave to others and we can't say sorry, so it is our ego, and our ego not allow to say sorry. 

1. Ego may be one of the factor
2. Your pride may be the reason
3. If you didn't do any wrong

If you did something wrong, then admit it. Admitting wrong will not decrease your respect but will increase in double or more amount.

the main reason is ego when it comes to your mind you will not accept anything if it was right also that's why you cannot say sorry also but this will not stay for long time so asking sorry will not been affected any of your life that's why you can say sorry also in something

Because you are somewhat (for the most part) admitting wrong-doing. And humans are (in my mind) biologically opposed to this.

don't consider about say sorry is very difficult because it is like a normal thing that how we can say thank you and help me which is also like that so don't feel shy saying sorry.

all the people will not be like that some of them were keep the the character like that so we cannot say sorry because of our ego if the ego will definitely in Limited level asking the sorry will not been difficult for anyone

Some people just have an ego that is too big, they can't admit when they are wrong.  I can forgive people that did me wrong if they show true regret for what they did and won't repeat the same mistakes that they did in the past.

You made a mistakes but sometime you ashame to accept it so its hard to say sorry is it because your ashame.and also they dont want to lower there Pride.
Hope people can easily say sorry when they know made a mistake.

maybe youre pride get you feel its hard to say or you will worry what other people might say its on people different mindset that make you feel sorry, you know what its easy to say sorry but to feel to that person that youre sorry what makes more difficult

Hope too. Because a simple sorry can change everything!

Pride 8)

It is hard to say sorry, because it is hard to admin that someone else can be right. Some people think that being agreed to other person opinion means being in lower tier than that person.

Why is it hard to say sorry?

'Cause I might be wrong about whatever, but I'm not a liar.

 ;D

Probably because it's hard for us to admit that we're wrong

Ego. You don't want to admit to the other person that you were wrong. I think that would be number one.

Other reasons are high emotions. Awkwardness. If you're a "tough" macho kind of guy and the situation is emotional.

Yes, it sometimes can be difficult. But it is necessary to study. By the way, I can advise Ho'ponopono Certification Course of Joe Vitale. It is good Hawaiian Practice of Forgiveness and reconciliation. Recently I like many books on psychology and courses. Therefore I persistently advise to read hoʻoponopono mantra. At least it was interesting to me.

People are stubborn about having to be wrong. When they say they are sorry they have to come to terms that what they did was wrong

I will disagree with you. I think that nowadays word "Sorry" lost its power. Maybe it's only for me, but sometimes people user "sorry" like "oops", but as for me "sorry" so as "love" very powerful word and it shouldn't use in every day routine.

I think its the pride or you're not the type of person that is vocal.

Sometimes even we are at fault its hard to express what we feel because we are not used to it.

I believe I peace-loving person will always find it easy to say sorry any time even when he or she is not at fault.

because we are to selfish
that's the matter, mate

It's because saying sorry means that we are accepting that we are wrong and it means that we are losing.
Or maybe, that person thinks that people rely on him so he can't be wrong because he feels responsible.

Some people find it hard to say sorry because they think they don't have to, that they think they never did wrong and some thinks it hurts their ego.

Most of the time, because of our PRIDE. As simple as that.

Because of Pride, each party doesn't want to lose on an argument that's why is it hard to say sorry.

Shame and guilt i suppose

Absolutely mate that’s the main reason because Shane and Guilt boosting our Ego and Pride not to admit our mistakes and with that we usually deny the fact that we already knew we are in fault

But what is pride if we are really the one who commit mistakes?i guess this must be stop if we want to have a happy and live in friendly world

Why is it hard to say sorry?

Because people are essentially honest at heart (they ain't sorry).

To said sorry is actually hard for us because of pride and I do agree with you and if we are able to keep ago and pride we would have a peaceful world. Many countries are in war now because of ago. Family including husband and wife are having misunderstand because of just saying "sorry"! It is one of the easiest words to speak but it is hard in the mouth of many of us.

because of the prestige to apologize, better first say sorry because we a good person

So they did that.. in purpose.
What if, it is hard to say sorry because that'll means admitting that I'm wrong.
So, I will just accept, that, okay, actually I mean it, and I'm an asshole  :D

Lol admitting to yourself wasn’t enough because the one that we made mistake is at hurt we better say sorry and even without forgiveness what Is important  that they here the words from us and my take a little time to forgive us.

Just like a song of Peter Cetera of Chicago “It’s Hard to Say I’m Sorry” 😂

Right. If you can't say sorry to stop the pain of others, especially when you are in the wrong, you are a rather sorry specimen of humanity.

8)

Not hard at all. Just admit if you are wrong and say sorry.

For some people they find hard saying sorry because they don't want to admit that they have done something wrong because of their pride and ego.But some people also couldn't say sorry but deep inside them they really feel sorry not because of their pride but for them their silence means that they are wrong or sometimes they remain silent because they know they are the one who's right. Before, I find saying sorry so hard because I don't want to lose the argument but as I mature I understood that saying sorry is one way of showing that you are old enough to accept that not all the time you are right and that other people need to adjust just for your sake.

I love the sarcasm on that part lol 😂

But literally indeed because the pain will always there not until apologies has been made and accepting what we’ve done wrong to ease the pain and start over again

In the end Admitting to commit mistakes will benefits both parties,the pain will gone from the one,and the guilt will also gone for the others

I'm not hard :)

Because When you say sorry its like accepting that you are wrong.

By saying sorry you admit you were wrong, people don't like to admit they're wrong :/

It's hard for people to admit their guilt

Who is hard? it’s not difficult for me.

Because you have to admit you did something wrong. This is the hardest part for everyone in my opinnion.

Yes and sometimes because of pride.

Its hard to say this words especially if you're not vocal with what you really feel but deep inside you you're sorry but having a hard time to say and express it.

Why is it hard to say sorry?

Because it is difficult to wrap our lips and tongue around unfamiliar words.

everyone here aside from you  ;D

maybe you are easy admitting person but we must know that most of people has that stupid Pride that hinders them to say Sorry and seek for forgiveness.
