Is It Hard to Apologize When You're in the Wrong?

The drama between Lauren and Audrina over Justin Bobby continued last night on The Hills. Even though Audrina finally came to the realization that the rumor about her best friend and boyfriend was just that, she was still pretty apprehensive about apologizing to Lauren. Admitting your wrongdoings can be a daunting task, but tell me, have you ever been afraid or nervous to apologize when you were in the wrong like Audrina was last night?

    I have never had a problem apologizing when I am in the wrong. I tend to do it right away because I think it gets harder if I let it linger.

    That said, when I am angry or hurt, it is extremely difficult for me to accept apologies. I have to work on that.

    If I know I'm wrong I usually do it. The first step is to knowing you're wrong. The harder step (for some or most) is actually asking for forgiveness (apologizing). Some people really have a hard time doing that, and it's just sad.

    What sucks more is apologizing even when you're not wrong about a situation but somehow you did something wrong when you're right about it (like running over someone's dog that was going to maul a baby or something).

    lol I would have be one those weird species who are ever so confident about everythin they say ... and at times when I am wrong I do find it hard to apologize ... as I did seem so certain about it ... but that being said I always do it Smiling

    running over someone's dog that was going to maul a baby? this is a pretty specific circumstance and requires some level of psychic ability, lol.

    I never like apologizing. but sometimes I do just so the other person will shut up. maybe that's wrong.

    No biggie. But good luck trying to prove me wrong. Laughing out loud Otherwise, I'm a great apology giver! I back it up with action other than the half-hearten, wistful, barely audible 'Sorry'I usually get. LOL
    I'm usually thankful to be wrong when I am.

    Omg, I have the HARDEST time apologizing. Its really something I have to work at because my close relationships are important to me but I've definitely soured relationships in the past by not apologizing. I don't know why its so hard.

    It depends on the person/situation for me. Sometimes it can be really hard! I guess that's because I always think I'm right O_o I guess I better work on that!

    nope. I feel apologizing is the first step in taking responsibility for your actions.

    LoL Krae...you know what I mean...-_-...I'll never apologize in legal situations...like running that red light in front of a hospital...prrtt

    Officer: Do you know why I pulled you over?
    Me: ???
    Officer: You ran a red light in front of the hospital.
    Me: I didn't know? ???

    or

    Vender: Hey! You have to pay for that!
    Me: ??? I thought it was free!? It said it was free!!! >_

    Personally, if I was in the wrong and I realize it, I'd rather apologize, clear the air, and start fresh. I don't mind owning up if I know I screwed up.

    However, if the other person just THINKS you're wrong, and you know you're innocent, I have a hard time with that one. I hate caving just to get them to be quiet or "forgive" me.

    GScott: "(like running over someone's dog that was going to maul a baby or something)." Hahah, interesting ex, personal experience there? LOL.

    It kind of depends on who I'm arguing with, and my relationship with them. Like, if it's my bf, I am a bit better about it with him, but not as good with other people. And I'm not great about it, but I can do it when I need to.

    TOTALLY with GScott. I will admit that I am at fault to anyone but a police officer or someone I got into an accident with. The one gets you tickets, the other gets you sued.

    If I do something stupid and an apology is warranted, I give it. I won't apologize if I don't mean it, though, which has cost me some friends, but I'm ok with that. Don't make me grovel if I didn't do something to warrant it.

    I used to have a really raw time with apologies, but that was because I was used to having them forced out of me, and though I can lie like a champ I don't enjoy it. So it was something I dreaded. Now, I apologize for my eff-ups, because if I don't, I'm not truly taking responsibility for my actions.

    I usually have no problem apologizing if I have done something wrong. But, I hate having to apologize if I haven't done something wrong. (For my job, I have to apologize a lot for things that were out of my control or something ridiculous, so it gets annoying.)

    In her case, if she didn't make a big stink about it, she wouldn't have to feel like she needed to grovel.

    i don't have a problem with apologizing, but sometimes i do have a problem with meaning it when i apologize. i'm def. someone that will apologize just to move on from the drama, even if i don't fully mean it. i blame my jobs in customer service for that on lmao..."i am SO sorry we aren't psychic and didn't have the item you wanted in stock," etc.

    As a supervisor I reward honesty. Everyone on my team knows that as humans we make mistakes...but great humans learn from them.

    I admit when I was first given my team that earning that trust was not easy. People are naturally a bit resistant to owning a mistake and in corporate America admitting mistake could end a career. My team had to learn I expected some mistakes and that we had to look at mistakes as opportunities to work toward perfection.

    On a personal note, seeing my mistake and admitting I screwed up, let them know that I owned my own screw-ups instead of passing them down the line. That has made our team the strongest in our company.

    An insincere apology is worse than none at all.
