I have a

[brenda]

sister and we get on really well, although we are different in many ways.

For example she has the ability to scatter the word "sorry",
and apologise at random regardless of the scenario.
People on the receiving end of her apologies say stuff like "that's OK or "forget it"

On the other hand I find it hard to apologise and say sorry , but when I do it is from the bottom of my heart and is sincerely meant.The recipients then say things to me like "Oh yeah" or "Right", as though they don't really believe me.
Do I need a personality transplant or what?

[Sachs]

Never mind brenda! Sometimes 'sorry' is overused & we become almost subservient. It's nice to say sorry when it's truly needed & meant xxx

[Sqad]

Brenda...the phrase "I am sorry" is not in the female vocabulary.

So your sister gets away with it and you don't ....is that it?

Brenda, if it is no "big deal" that needs an apology, then don't apologise.

In the rare circumstances where an apology is really needed, then you will be up there with your sister.

Forget the transplant.

I'm never wrong so have never been in the situation you describe ;-)

[leggionaire]

Perhaps better to be to willing to apologise.Than to not be willing at all.Your sister isn't necessarily wrong and neither are you.But sorry does seem a very difficult word for some people to say.

as the song goes ....

[ummmm]

I rarely apoogise.....I say it when I truley mean it....not that often

brenda, you could always do a technical apology. "I'm sorry if that upset you" rather than "I'm sorry I said that".

I don't believe in fake apologies either. say it if you mean it, don't if not.

[janzman]

Try 'Faking Sincerity' once youve mastered that it doesnt matter what you say you will be believed.....try asking our wonderful politicians...they think theyve mastered 'faked Sincerity' They think we honestly believe what they tell us ...how pathetically deluded they are....The Ballot Boxes will speak.......
