Do you apologize easily?

Yes. I apologize fairly often and sincerely. It’s part of a healthy human relationship, it feels good, and it helps create an honest environment.

Yes, it has always been easy for me to apologize and to forgive…sometimes too easy.

Yeah, it keeps life simpler if I apologize for faults I made/did.
Instead of stubbornly pretending it wasn’t me, it is easier (and fair) to say sorry, hoping that it gets excepted, and move on with a clean sheet.

I have…it helps you learn about the why we say and do dumb stuff.

Well that depends, if it’s someone of my age group then never, I can be pretty stubborn. But if it’s someone older then definitely. I am very careful about that. I would apologize several times if I have to.

Yes. I will defend my position till the end, but once I understand I was wrong, it takes me less than a second to apologize.

No, I don’t. Sorry.

see that? mwahaha.

If I know that I’m wrong or that I have hurt someone, I have no trouble apologizing. I’d rather that the person know sooner rather than later that I am genuinely sorry for my error or for causing pain. And having that apology accepted goes a long way to helping me feel better about whatever I’ve done wrong.

I don’t like to say “I’m sorry” in a situation where “excuse me” is more appropriate. This happens often at work where we’re all trying to go in and out of various places and not be in someone else’s way. Several people there say, “I’m sorry” if they have to walk through your path as you’re going somewhere. Or if I’m at a store and need to step in front of someone, I say excuse me. I have heard people say “I’m sorry” in that situation. While I’m sure that they’re simply apologizing because they think they’re in the way, I think that “excuse me” is more appropriate. IMHO

I apologize easily once I’m over being angry. Which can take a while.

I apologize easily when I was at fault. Fake apologies leave a bad taste in my mouth. I’ll do it, but I really, really don’t like it.

I apologize easily, if I’ve wronged someone. But I do my best to keep out of people’s lives, so it doesn’t happen so often.

I say, “I’m sorry,” too easily. @tedibear may be right. I’ll have to think about if I mean “excuse me.” If I’m inadvertently in someone’s way, I say sorry. If I’m interrupting someone, I say excuse.
I’m going to try to watch what I say, but I’ll probably forget.

Hey guys, pssst: notice there are NO topics? I know I wrote them – this is freaky. Fluther is falling apart at the seams.

So you break Fluther, and that’s your idea of an apology? Weak man, weak.

All the time. Of my own accord, that is. I always apologize for anything I’m sorry about. (Lots of things, from small to big.)

But if you ask for one, you’re probably not going to get one. Because chances are if I were actually sorry about it, you would have already gotten an apology without asking.

@tedibear Guilty!

Oh absolutely I do, by default. Admittedly on occasion it’s through gritted teeth, but that’s only to be expected though…..isn’t it?

Too quickly, too often. I have a deep-set horror of having people upset or annoyed with me. I’ll apologize even if I don’t need to. It’s on my to-do list of things to work on, but I have other pressing matters to deal with right now, sorry :D

Sometimes its self-defeating… I get keyed up worrying that someone will get annoyed, and that annoys them. Oh, what to do!
