Do you guys think it's okay to think that no matter what you do to me, if you apologize and are sincere about it, I will forgive you. That's how I've always been. I just feel that it take courage to apologize to someone after you've hurt them and if you do do it then you are truly sorry. I know sometimes people just throw around the "I'm sorry's" but most don't. Everyone makes mistakes (I know I do) and they need to be forgiven. What do you guys think of that?
karenR answered Wednesday May 4 2005, 12:43 am: I think if it is truly a sincere apology then thats what I do. You are right though that "I'm sorry" is thrown around to the point of meaning hardly anything. So is "I love you" in a lot of cases. I do believe that there is very little that cannot be forgiven if the apology is sincere. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

I also think that everyone should forgive because you cant staymad forever. You are right tho! Good point. X0` [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

AshleyZ416 answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 10:21 pm: I feel the same way. I forgive to much i really do. All my friends yell at me. But its great to no that your that kinda person too. There should be more people out there like us. And its so true that people must really mean it if they have the bravness to say it. It's hard to do it to i no. I wont lie i dislike people you dont mean it and joke about it. But its ok to forgive them really it is. Im glad that you asked such a great question!!

siozeegreat answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 9:46 pm: I'm normally able to forgive someone just by putting myself in their shoes, and trying to think about what I would have done if I was in their situation, because, I figure that if I would have done it, I would really hate it if someone didn't forgive me for doing something was may have just been my natural reaction.

Micah answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 9:43 pm: if people apologize, and you know they are being truthful about it... then yes, you should forgive them. but some people will apoligize and still be sincere, yet they will do something again. at that point if the apologize again, and again... and so on.. then you need to tell them that "yea, your apologizing, and yea, your really meaning it, but you keep doing somehting over and over, and its becoming where i dont think your apoligy is forreal." you just need to know when people are being serious about the apoligy and when they are just playing you.

kaykay_halla answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 9:41 pm: i wouldn't say "no matter what" it depends on wat they do. most people should be forgiven if you know them enough that they are truly sorry. but if someone has done it sometime before then dont forgive them.

LoveNJstyle answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 9:31 pm: i think that some things are forgivable and some are not. if its like somthing that kinda hurt your feelings, by all means forgive them. if someone cheats on you or hurts you physically, dont. hope this answers your question! <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
