3 Ways I Learned to Say I Am Sorry [With Examples]
As Embarrassing as that Sounds, I Found Out it’s Hard!
I am mystified. I am not sure I understand why. I am either the one who says “I am sorry” too much or I make sure, in any way possible, that I am not the one at fault.
I guess that it’s the price you pay for gravitating toward the path of personal growth. I am in a constant quandary of whether to be assertive or to appropriately be aggressive. I get voracious for self-improvement but always bewildered about what to be what and what not be and in what circumstances.
Why is being remorseful difficult?
Because it’s an uncomfortable truth! Mouthing the words “I am sorry” is the hardest thing for people out there (sometimes, including the person writing this story). We find it a lot easier to stand on our ground, to be defensive, to protect our ego like a mother protects her child from bullies. But these 3 words I AM SORRY, would be the most laborious thing to do. We think it’s defeating, and humbling, or handing the opponent an advantage against us.
But is that entirely true?
FYI, I am not here to say that If I am being patently mistreated, I would become aberrantly apologetic. No! That’s not what I am referring to.
