It is not so!.It is very easy to 'say I am sorry'!. How ever those who think that they can never go wrong may find it difficult!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For me, there is always that element of pride!. also, I think when I do something wrong, sometimes I want to forget about what I've done and maybe forgive myself for doing it!. So, there's the embarrassment part!. Say, I take your money without telling you and I am sorry and embarrassed!. My not wanting to say sorry to you could be because I am embarrassed or that I'm desperately attempting to deny my wrong act to avoid a feeling of guilt!. So, if I'm trying to avoid feeling guilty, I might think that one way to do this is by denying my wrong behavior an thus not apologizing!.
Not sure, if this is relevant to the case you're thinking!. But I thought it might help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The scientific truth is that the act of apologizing does more damage to a person's relationship than to their ego!. If you were to tell me "sorry" for something you did, or said to me, you would subconciously fear that I thought I "owned" you!. This makes people feel that saying sorry is being a sucker!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because of our sense of pride and wanting to always be right!.!.!.even when we know that we are not!. It still stings to admit being wrong or to sometimes say I'm sorry!. It shows that you are a strong person by doing this though!.!.!.so muster up your fears and give it your all and most of all!.!.!.mean it!!
Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

its human nature to believe that they are always right!.!.!. and thus they do things which they think they are correct!.!.!. they usually don't realize that they are wrong!.!. they can't accept they are wrong!.!. hence its hard for them to say that they are sorry!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It can be hard to tell a person sorry because you dont know how they are going to react!.And because of your own fears about the situation can make it hard to say sorry!.But it takes alot to say sorryWww@QuestionHome@Com

Because in one perspective you will always be right even if in a broader perspective you are wrong!.

Sometimes when we know that we are wrong but when it comes to say sorry,suddenly we're shy so say sorry just because we are wrong!!. So in this case,the 'shy' matters most not egoism!. is it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

A person must learn the full meaning and import of humility before they can say, "I'm sorry" and mean it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You're pride gets in the way!. Maybe you don't feel guilty; saying something outloud and believing it in your heart are two different things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
