Do you apologize?

im one of those people who apologizes like ALL the time....
whether its something little like not paying attention and bumping into someone on accident, or if its doing huge that someone may never be able to forget... apologizing is always the way to go.

i think its best to keep the peace, even if the person doesnt accept your apology right away ... i mean, hey, atleast you tryed right?

 

I hate it when I start giving explanations or making promisses.

Apologizing is enough. And the less I do it, the more genuine I am in my apology.

 

Yes, I always apologize. Too much actually. I apologize for things I didn't even do, things that were in no way my fault, you name it! *laughs* I think "I'm sorry" is one of my favorite phrases!

 

yeah to much sometimes, even for shit I did long ago.. oh well..

 

if I feel my behavior warrants an apology, I will offer one. however, I take care not to apologize for no reason - if you apologize too easily, you might reach a point where you essentially apologize for being who you are.

I'm inclined to agree with praxis in that the less I apologize, the more sincere I am when I do.

 

Yes i do if im wrong, everybody should. That way we could have a better world. Be nice to each other.

 

i work with someone who apologizes for everything even if he did nothing wrong. makes me want to stab him

 

And if you did, he'd probably apologize for annoying you so much.

 

sadly it's probably true... i've told him to stop apologizing so much and he apologized for that..

 

It depends on the situation, but generally yes. Unless it's something like making out with someones ex, than obviously I'm not gonna lie and say I'm sorry or I wouldn't have done it. I may say I'm sorry for hurting their feelings though, unless I'm not lol

so pretty much, I'll admit I'm wrong if I'm wrong, but not apologize unless I mean it

 

I say 'I'm sorry' out of empathy more than I actually apologize for things. I apologized for something I did last week, and since then, I don't really remember. Can't be that long since I've fucked up. :biggrin:

Usually I'm pretty mindful of people I care for, so I try not to blatantly hurt their feelings. If I do I'll try to apologize.

What I don't do is admit I'm wrong very much.

 

Depends on how much i meant it, and how much it hurt them.. I don't think anything ive ever said has really hurt anyone.

 

*breaks into tears*

It is a good thing. Take that back. :biggrin:

 

I'm an appoligizer. It's important to admit when you're wrong.

 

yea im an appoligizer , if and when im wrong.

 

Never.

Apologising is a sign of weakness

 

If I feel sorry for something i've done, i'll apologize, but i usually won't apologize just because someone bitches about something i said or did even if it was totally justified.
example: one of my friends is totally paranoid about anything and everything and she always gets mad and defensive when I tell her that nothing is wrong and she's just being paranoid. I stick to the fact that i know she's way too paranoid, and i'm not going to apologize for calling her paranoid even though she yells at me for doing so.

 

you'll apologize when they finally get her...

 

yeah yeah yeah. I love how she always realizes that i'm right eventually and she's like "yeah, so <insert dramatic problem here> doesn't actually exist, i was just freaking out" and i'm like "that's what i said. you're just paranoid." and she's like "NO I'M NOT"

i guess i just dont' know what paranoia is.

sorry i turned this into a complain about paranoid friend thread. i'll stop now.
