Either you're a complete idiot or you realize that you've done a few insincere things to other people.

How often do you apologize when you do unjust things?


I really don't apologize as much as I should. Many times it is because I fear someone will take it the wrong way. There were even times when I was given an ultimatum by an authority to apologize or be punished and I took the punishment instead. When it comes to small things though, I'll apologize without hesitation.

I only apologize half the time. The ones I should be apologizing to know what I did was in good reason.

I sarcastically apologize to people in most cases. But that isn't to say that I never say it and actually mean it. It depends what I have done.

Well, I barely apologize now. =A=; I guess, I grew more of a backbone after my last break-up. So instead of apologizing for the small things, like forgetting something, or something like that, I don't even give a too hoot about it. >3>; If I did bump into somebody by accident, ya I apologize, its only my manners. D:
Anything else besides that...nope. <--tries to avoid those situations where you can make a mistake easily.

I often apologize for things that aren't even my fault, but feel its necessary to.
-shrugs-
Maybe its just me, but i need to work on it.
Sometimes saying "i'm sorry" can get on people's nerves. lol

Apologizing is admitting that you made a mistake. It isn't and never was meant to fix the problem.

You rarely apologize for something before you do it either.

I think that you are going to have to ignore that answer. I think that he thinks he is some kind of game character saying something epic, although the line in which he stated makes no sense.

Apologizing meaningfully does not always make wonders, although atleast it shows the people in which you offended or hurt that you are actually sorry and care for what you have done. Even if they do choose to ignore it.

well i don't apologize at all because i don't do anything that will cause me to apologize to someone. ok i'm just playing i spend my whole life in school apologizing, i'm basically mean to some of the students in my class. mainly because they deserve it.

You know after I replied I thought that he thought I was apologizing to AF for something... and he wasn't going to accept said apology despite being completely ignorant of the situation.

Everytime I believe I am in the wrong I will say sorry.
Personaly if I did something so bad that I deserve to get my butt kicked I will let it happen. I have before. That was only once though.

If I have been proven wrong or have done something hurtful to someone who didn't deserve it, then I will usually apologize and mean it, as I do have a conscience. I apologize when I feel the need to or think it's right thing to do. If I don't feel that way, I just don't apologize and move on or, although very rare, give an obviously sarcastic apology.

In real life? Probably not nearly as often as I should. haha

I don't apologize alot. Only if I feel that I have hurt someones feelings or if I got mad at a the person for no apparent reason. Than there are the times I'll just apologize but it won't be a sincere apology.

I apologize only when I really need to. If I've really hurt someone, then I'll apologize right away. If I'm fighting with a friend or family member, it might take a while, but I'm usually the first to apologize.

I only apologize to those I don't hate/annoy me, in other words, I only apologize 2 or 3 times a year, only because I'm intentionally being mean to a few handful of people. Maybe I should apologize to them... or maybe not

I don't often do the wrong thing. I am usually very careful. I can only recall maybe a couple of times that I have treated previous ex girlfriends unfairly. Other times I can't remember doing something wrong since I was about 15.

Depending on who, I say it a lot.

But I say "Thank You" after nearly EVERYTHING... My mom gets onto me for it since I say it so much

Never. Apologizing for your actions is utterly pointless, and based on the dubious concept that you could somehow have done different given the same exact circumstances.

I am usually an apologetic guy. Kinda my Achilles's heal. Sometimes i apologize for stuff i have not done. I guess i just appease to people's feelings to resolve things at a cost of my own dignity. Oh well.

I only apologize when I realize that I've done wrong or when I feel that I must but other than that you'll never hear I'm sorry come from me.

08-07-2008, 03:11 PM
I think I just apologize too much... Sometimes it bothers me if I don't apologize, so I apologize. Even if it isn't needed.

I'm definitely not a why-should-I-apologize-person. xD

No because they usually deserve what they got. If it was accident, I don't really care.

I say sorry all the time for accidently running into people or stuff like that but when it comes to saying sorry for important stuff I have harder time getting the words out.

08-07-2008, 09:59 PM
Heh I have an annoying habbit of saying sorry even when whatever happened wasn't my fault. Some girl accidently hit me and I almost said sorry to her (She did apologize to me).

I sometimes have a problem with admitting my mistakes or that I was wrong [who doesn't?], but I try my best to apologize when I need to. The hardest person to apologize to is my mum because it hurts me to hurt her for acting stupid the most. :/

However, when it comes to smaller things like everyday life, I always apologize, even if I don't really have to. I feel so bad when I do something like spilling coffee all over my friend... Twice. >.< I felt bad for that whole day, I bought her a new coffee and a candy. :3 And said I'm so sorry for like 150 times, eventually she was pissed and told me to knock it off, or else. xD

I never apologize for my actions. I obviously did what I did for a reason that benefit me in some way and to have the audacity to make me say "Oh I wish we could do that again or I wouldn't have steamrolled over your grandma's face to get a million dollars she was standing on". What you do doesn't ever need to be justified to anyone but yourself, therefore the only person you're ever allowed to apologize to is yourself, and since I love me, I always accept my own apology, the one I never make since I never require it, since if you're not sure of something you probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place thus making an apology to you or anyone necessary.

I know my points where all over the map there but I went to bed at 5 and just woke up so I haven't slept much and my head hurts ):

I apologize as often as necessary. Perhaps even a little bit more. Sometimes, I even apologize to inanimate objects xP

Gizoku
08-08-2008, 10:56 PM
Depends on what I did and to whom.
I say sorry when I feel like a burden to other people, and in public places when I step on the heel of somebody's shoes etc. <--- But I say it really quietly so it makes me seem like a jackass. xD I don't mean to do it.

Ωmega
08-08-2008, 11:02 PM
I never apologize.

I'm sorry, but that's just the way I am.
=D! You just apologized ;3

And I have to agree with Masali to an extent. I usually dont apologize because I have reason for my actions, however there are times where I accidentally do things and then apologize for those actions.

Ollie
08-08-2008, 11:42 PM
I usually don't apologize because I don't do things that require apologizing. I do things intentionally, and the results are expected.

For big things, anyway. Little things (like forgetting to do this or that or whatever) I apologize for because they're little errors, and it's easier to say "Sorry I forgot to bring you _______ like I said I would, I forgot" than to argue over not having the extra 5 minutes to do it.

It is a little hard to apologize when I am incapable of any wrongs.

Jerry Pie
08-10-2008, 12:54 PM
I have trouble apologizing at times. Its hard because I can't just let it out. I always have to win the fight and when I do it makes me feel better. So, I can't say sorry at times unless someone forces it out of me.
Though, a casual sorry for running into someone is the only thing I will apologize for.

SSDynamite
08-10-2008, 12:58 PM
I say sorry subconsciously for little things, like knocking into someone. I never usually do anything that needs apologizing for.

Rarely, but it depends on who its towards. Actually, I'm only too stubborn and proud to say sorry to a select few, for those a really care about and don't have this weird issue with I have no problem apologizing. I will not say I'm sorry to comfort someone/mom or to make the problem go away. Lying is lying, and I wont accept her fake *** apologies either.

nolarboot
08-15-2008, 11:07 AM
I apologize like every five seconds, whether I need to or not. I feel like I did something stupid, and I'll say, "I'm sorry, sorry, I'm sorry."

I apologize WAY too much. Often I want to, but sometimes I'll find myself doing it by accident! =P

I really don't apologize as often as i should >.> Its actually a really rare thing >.> I'm not a bad person don't get me wrong ^^; but when people accuse me of doing something wrong, i'm just more the type to explain the situation instead of apologizing. Maybe i'm weak on the inside and haven't faced it yet XD.

I apologize when I've made a mistake and it's been brought to my attention. By doing so I openly admit that I'm flawed, which makes me roughly 2% more endearing to my target demographic.

I will not, however, apologize for any actions or statements made from a moral standpoint. I am open to changing my beliefs, but I will not apologize for believing in them.

That conviction shows I have a strong emotional base, making me appear 15% more dependable and 7.255% more masculine to my target demographic.
