Why is it hard for me to apologize?


Question Posted Saturday May 22 2010, 7:36 am

i have a hard time admitting that im wrong i always blame the person and get mad instead of saying sorry, because when i say it i feel weak,mad,sad and defeated and i dont know why. I know its bad but i dont know why i feel this way. Is it pride?

that happens to my friend a lot.

yes it is pride, it's like when you apologize you feel weak and like the bad guy. but unless you apologize, you ARE the bad guy....apologizing only makes you the better person and from people will actually like you better because you can admit when your wrong....

my friend learned that the wrong way lolz

GOOD LUCK!
HOPE I HELPED

First of all the fact that you can even admit this means you are one step closer to being able to do it. You at least know this about yourself! Congratulations.

Blaming it on another gives you the feeling of being right.
As to why: by admitting to another You did something wrong means You are admitting You are weak, sad, defeated, which makes you a lesser person. Which of course you're not. Yes it's pride, but it's a little more deeper than that.

You don't want to tell people you're these things because you're not.
Once you can realize that making a mistake doesn't mean you are bad, and that it's just a thoughtless mistake, you'll be able to apologize easily.

However because you are already aware, you are almost
there.

Find another way to apologize. You can trick yourself sometimes. Ex: " what I said was inconsiderate. I don't know why I said that" acknowledge the actual behavior and not
you, as a person.
