I don't do enough wrongdoing to apologise often. When I do make a mistake, I usually apologise, though.
-
Yeah,...maybe too often. I often apologize just for stating my opinion, if it isn't the same as someone elses.
-
Only when I need to, and then I have no problel doing it
-
I am usually the one doing the apologizing but I try not to do things that merit an apology.
-
Depends usually
-
Much too often. And when people point this out, I tend to apologise again! It is a hard habit to break.
-
I'm sorry, what?
-
When I need to. In general, I don't have a problem to say "I am sorry" to somebody.
-
No, I don't apoligise for trival things as I value the meaning of the word. I only apoligise when I mean it and when there is a real need to convince people that you are sorry of which are are genuinely.
-
I usually say "I'm sorry" when I hear someone elses bad news, or when I feel bad for someones circumstances, or when I offend someone, or when I accidentally get in someone's way, or when I disappoint someone somehow, even inadvertantly. So yeah, quite often...
-
Yes, but not as much as I should.
-
Only if I am aware of my mistake ...
-
Yes, it's been programmed into me unfortunately. :( I don't know how else to word my sympathy.
-
Some times i think i do apologise to often and the problem with me doing that is i have a very high position in the company i work for, i have alot of people that i have to tell what to do and if i say sorry to much i think some times it shows a sign of weakness which is not good.
-
when necessary, even though it is hard to admit I am less than perfect. As the song goes: Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble When you're perfect in everyway I can't wait to look in the mirror Coz I get better looking each day To know me is to love me I guess I'm a hell of a (wo)man Oh Lord it's hard to be humble But I'm doing the best that I can.... LOL
-
No, I apologize when I truly mean it and am sorry (or if my survival depends on it). I think saying sorry all the time or often is a sign of weakness or being submissive.
-
Yes I always apologise if I think I am wrong. SORRY DUPLICATE ANSWER BUTTON STUCK
-
Yes I always apologise if I think I am wrong.
-
Too often I apologise. I will do both If I am wrong or to avoid a situation that is not worth getting into. Sometimes it seems like I say sorry for being alive!
-
No,sorry.
-
I often get criticized for apoligizing when I don't have to.
-
I used to apologise for anything and everything. Lately I have come to realise that it only made me a doormat for other people to blame since I would accept fault anyway. So now I assess each situation and apologise for only that which IN MY OPINION needs to be apologised for. I do not automatically apologise for stuf I did mean and I certainly do not apologise that has nothing to sos with me at all, and I only apologise for stuff that appears to me to have caused hurt or problems for a particular person, I do not do blanket apologies.
-
Not really, ALways saying"I'm Sorry," would make me a pretty sorry person after awhile... :)
-
I am not to proud to apologize. Often? I try not to do things I will have to apologize for, so no.
-
depends on who i am talking to. with people i care about i maybe do, but its cause i want them to know that while i disagree or am upset about something i still love them. with friends about average, with other people only if i need to.
-
I do try to stay up-to-date on my apologies and make them as naturally and frequently as is necessary.
-
I try not do to things that require apologizing, but, when I do, I aplogize promtly
-
Im sorry, but I do.
-
No. I try not to do anything that I would have to apologize for.
-
No. I treat others with respect and expect to be treated with respect in return. Pretty much a case of what goes around comes around.
-
Yes, too frequently. I really should break the habit of apologizing reflexively, and apply some kind of litmus test for when it's really necessary vs. just a knee-jerk response. I'm also a serial thanker; I don't know if that's related or not...
-
Yes, too much. Then somebody points it out and I end up appologising for appologising. Sorry!
-
Much more than I should have to... Even when I don't need to say "I'm sorry" I do anyway. I just don't like people to be upset at me.. even if they are mad at me because of something I didn't even do I say sorry...
-
Yes, too much for my own good. Even when it's not my fault. I should really stop doing it.
-
yea i apologise all the time. i'm not saying i do things that really merit an apology, i just apologise too much sorry if that sounds weird
-
1. yeah i do. if that person is someone who i really care about. i don't mind doing it first. 2. no, i don't apologize, if that person is not someone who i care much. but wherever i think i did something really wrong, i do it, even if that person is not important to me. 3. and yeah if i am in public places, then it is better weapon to talk to public and get your things done. (did you ever hear to any political speech!)
-
Mostly in the course of my work, i.e. I'm sorry you were inconvenienced, I'm sorry that you had to go through that, I'm so sorry...it bleeds into my personal life alot too. After a while it's easy to apologize just to get on with & past it to more important things.
-
When you apologise it is best to say Sorry once and that is it and you must mean it. Saying sorry over and over again can get on peoples nerves and it can make people think you are being insincere and it can come across as crying wolf as well. There are other ways to apologise without always using the word 'sorry'. You can say words like 'oops' or 'I do beg your pardon' or help the person by helping them with things and/or doing things for them.
