Do you apologize?

[Claraviolet]

In a family there are bound to be some misunderstandings now and then.

Sometimes these misunderstandings lead to serious arguments.Even after the end of the argument,we can still feel the bitter taste.

So,as an after math,do you apologize to your family members (often)?

 

[DrLeftover]

Of course.

I'm married.

100% as per above post.

 

[Loucifer]

I do tend to after a while. If I know I was in the wrong then I'll do it faster, but if both parties were equally to blame, it may take me a while to say 'sorry'.

Always, but the length of time it may take depends on the issue rate. I had to overcome a 2-year argument which was finally forgotten in early 2006.

I apologize when it's the right thing to do. Even when I'm right, I'll apologize, if I feel it's the right thing to do. I have no problem apologizing to people. Then again, I can fake it, but I hardly ever do. And people who really know me (which my family should), know when I'm for real and when I'm pretending. I get dead serious in no time. Almost scary.

I'm pretty much the same way, Cynosure.

Good to know that I'm not alone.

I do apologize. It's usually me and my mom arguing or getting irritated, but I know when I'm wrong and I will apologize.

I'll apologize even though I shouldn't or don't need to apologize.

I prefer to apologize for wrongs that I'm responsible for. It's good to own up to what we do wrong. What I don't like apologizing for is something that isn't my fault or just because someone is easily offended.

 

[crafter]

yes, i apologize whenever needed. i think a lot of the squabbles that pop up on boards like this happen because people are too stubborn to admit that they were not correct. i can honestly say that if i've been in a discussion and someone proves me wrong, i do not hesitate to say so on open forum... and apologize to whoever i need to.

 

[Dee]

Absolutely. I've gotten over the pride and fear I felt a long time ago and realized being humble is much more important than being right.

 

[Nebulous]

I say sorry all the time, even if I don't mean it. It's usually the quickest way to deescalate a situation.

I say things I don’t mean and I apologize later

I say things I don’t mean and I apologize later

I have had the same issue. I try not to say things out of anger anymore. I really practice biting my tongue these days with the people I care about. Those things are often hard to undo and to fix once you blurt it out. Friends and lovers have made me pay for my words and sadly it's cost me more than I thought it would.

 

[PGen98]

I don't apologize. I'm sorry, that's just the way I am.

(...no, I apologize all the time...)

 

[Mozzie]

If i am wrong about something i do yes.

 

[fuzzems]

I used to apologize even if i didn't do anything wrong just to keep peace, smooth things over, etc. Figured it would be worth just taking that to move on. However now that I am older, I will only apologize if I have truly done something to apologize for. And if I am wrong i will indeed apologize with humility and sincerity. But, i am not going to apologize for existing, breathing, or having an opinion someone doesn't like

Depends. Some family members I will, others I just let it go for the most part. Just depends who it is.
