Why is it hard to say sorry

[Marescaz]

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.

[semobo]

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.

[Chikitita2004]

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.

[Goodvalony]

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.

[jeanetteLine]

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.

[Piquesumonew]

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"

[BADecker]

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

[Daveprofile]

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.

[BADecker]

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.

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

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

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

[Viron]

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.

[n0ne]

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.

[Daniel91]

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
