I don't feel any shame, I won't apologize.

I wonder if that's why hardly anyone likes me... :(

Actually, I just realised I can say sorry for little things, like walking into someone even if it was there fault. But when it comes to important things which I really should apologise for, I hate it...

Next time that happens, act like London Tipton and say "watch where you're going!"

If I'm convinced I'm in the right, it's almost impossible for me to back down.

If I'm convinced I'm wrong, though... I apologize a bit too much.

This is me exactly...I've always said sorry way too often for small things (people have often commented that I say sorry too much), but if it's something big...

But that's assuming that I even realize I should apologize for something. :?

It's too easy for me, sorry.

(I pull my toe nails off! It doesn't really hurt...that much. This is self-harm I guess.)

It's extremely hard for me. If I'm forced to, I definitely don't use the "I'm truly sorry" tone. I'm actually using the "You're lucky you're not dead right now" tone. It's impossible for me to sound sincere when I'm extremely upset.

I can say sorry, but I usually don't mean it. It just seems like a necessary word to some people...

You know its easy to say sorry in some circumstances but not in others.. If I bump into people or do something wrong I say sorry all the time without any hesitation but they have no meaning to me. But when I have to say sorry over something that has a lot of meaning and really matters to me then it can be difficult. If actually saying sorry doesnt compromise my feelings but will make the other person feel better then I will say sorry even if I was right. If saying sorry will damage my pride then I will never say sorry even if I was wrong. If I am not sorry and dont intent to be sorry I would sometimes give an aggressive sorry which would point out I am sorry for whatever THEY did wrong and not what I did wrong. :)

Sorry!


I apologize for the absolute SLIGHTEST thing wrong. I've had to be scolded for apologizing before.

I don't have problem with apologizing. I can say "sorry" easily. When I was younger it was very hard, but now I can do it :)

The real problem is when I don't know I did something bad or unacceptable. I can't apologize if I don't know I have to do it.

Also, I have a problem with expressions and body language, so when I apologize, people may think I'm not really sorry and I'm lying. I need to work on this.

I always had to be told to say sorry. And have to lie about being sorry just to get the person to shut up.
