    One word can sometimes be so hard to say. "Sorry" can be the hardest, or the easiest word to say - some people find it easy, because they wouldn't be able to live with the guilt of not apologising, or some would just rather keep their dignity in certain situations, and refuse to say sorry. When you feel you've done something wrong; or have done something that upset someone else, or even made a mistake, is apologising ever easy for you?

    1. How long does it take you to apologise in any situation?
    2. Have you ever taken back an apology?

    Depending on the severity of the situation, it varies, however usually immediately, because I feel if I don't then I end up feeling stupid - so guilt plays a role in this for me. It's strange, but it's how I am. Although I don't recall taking back an apology, but there any many times when I have regretted apologising.

    also, apologise > apologize, and this has nothing to do with any current situations jsyk
     
    I have a really hard time saying it. I have to really mean it before I will say it, and I'm sure the people who are close to me know that. It's a word with powerful meaning to me. And if I'm not sorry, I'm not going to waste my time even saying it. Do I take them back? No. I think long and hard about it before I say it, and truly mean it, so there is no need to take it back.
     
    1. How long does it take you to apologise in any situation?
    The very moment I've apparently screwed up to a day later. I'm one of those folks who's ended up disliking conflict, so to avoid it I tend to think everything wrong where I'm involved is my fault and I overapologize and apologize when I don't even need to, because I apparently think this'll settle things. Still, when I do apologize, I mean it. I really am sorry, even if it wasn't my fault. ._.;

    2. Have you ever taken back an apology?Yeah I think I actually might have, but I can't remember the circumstances exactly that came to it. ... I might remember tomorrow, when I've had my sleep.
     
    I say it a majority of the time when I wrong somebody I didn't mean to, but if it was a fairly intential thing, that I wanted someone to know and they didn't take it well, then no.

    Have probably taken back apoligies too, but only if I figured I wasn't really the one in the wrong, and the other person is still going to be an idiot about stuff.
     
    1. As soon as possible. I'm not afraid of exposing my mistakes.
    2. No, I never take back what I say. If the person disappoints me, there's nothing else I can do.
     
    For me, it depends on the person.

    The shortest was on hour and the longest one is still happening.

    Meand my frind have been fightin snice, early October last year. Everytie I get ready to apoligize, he goes ahed ad givs me another reason to hate him.
     
    1. How long does it take you to apologise in any situation? most often, immediately after I feel I'm in the wrong. But sometimes it takes me a day or so to realize ;o
    2. Have you ever taken back an apology? yap, I've had a few back and forth moments. u3u

    A: Varies on the situation. Grave mistakes means longer apology time.
    A: Can't remember...

    Sure, easy; it's when I've done something I deem right which others deem wrong that puts me in the predicament of a difficult apology, but you know, I don't find it difficult in that case, I just flat out refuse then and there because I believe I am right. If I later find myself in the wrong I'll most likely let the passing of time do its work but if it's someone I deal with a lot I'll apologise fairly promptly.

    As for taking them back, not openly.
     
    1. How long does it take you to apologise in any situation?
    Depends on the situation.
    2. Have you ever taken back an apology?
    Twice,but I can't remember.

     
    I tend to apologize on the spot. It's not because I feel guilty; I just want to mend what was broken or damaged.

    I did once, but that's another story.
     
    1. How long does it take you to apologise in any situation?
    After I realize that I'm the one who is guilty.
    2. Have you ever taken back an apology?
    Nope.
     
    1. How long does it take you to apologise in any situation?
    When I think that I have done something wrong, I say sorry immediately.
    2. Have you ever taken back an apology?
    I am pretty sure I have never taken back an apology.
     
    1. How long does it take you to apologise in any situation?
    If me and my best friend got in a fight, it usually takes a few minutes/hours for me to say sorry. If not, it takes a while.
    2. Have you ever taken back an apology?
    I have. But I don't feel like telling that story.
     
    1. How long does it take you to apologise in any situation?
    Depends, but it usually takes a few days, if I say it at all.

    2. Have you ever taken back an apology?
    Yep.
     
    1. How long does it take you to apologise in any situation?
    It depends. If I know [or I think] I'm to blame, I apologise very quickly. I feel guilty.. Friends have forbidden me from apologising because I sort of apologise for anything, as long as I feel bad. If someone told me a story about how they .. I don't know, burnt their ear with their straighteners, I'd apologise as if I was the one who did it to them. .. uh, yeah, it sounds weird like that. ;_;

    If I know I'm definitely not to blame and it's all their fault, of course I wouldn't apologise.

    2. Have you ever taken back an apology?
    Not that I remember. It's sort of fickle, anyway.
     
    1. If I know that I am in the wrong, then I will apologize on the instant. However, if I am not at fault, am the only one being forced to apologize when I'm not the only party involved, I will offer no apology.

    2. Yes, usually when it is rejected with an insult.
