To me, you never have to be sorry. I respect everyone's opinion and input on my life; past, present and future. A friend once told me that true wisdom comes from listening to what others have to say. It allows us to see the world from someone else's point of view and experience, this can allow us to see things in a way that we had never imagined before.
So as long as someone is being honest with me, they never have to be sorry ;-)
There are times when we speak out of line, say something we shouldn't, say or do something that hurts a friend. If you are truly sorry, apologize to them. But remind them that from time to time you may say something but not mean it. We all do that. If they were you're true friend, they will accept your apology and move past it. Just remember that someday you may, have the same thing happen to you. If it does be understanding and comprehensive like you want them to be.
I should be understandable that as people get older, they become harder to get along with. Friends, good friends, are hard to come by, especially on the Internet.
i know how u feel,i do tell people things that i regret later on ,then i realise i have been immature and i have hurt people or act as an agressive person . ask forgiveness and say that u r really sorry if u feel it coz a friend is like a treasure ,so preserve it
I have lost many friends because of them judging me...with me, if you are my true friend then you would not judge me in a negative way...constructive criticism is one thing, judgement is completely another.
I have always felt that being honest and straightforward is important. you have to tell it like it is. if they don't like it, well ... that's on them. if they get angry it's because its the truth and they know it.
even when people get hurt or mad, they usually get over it pretty quick.....be honest but polite...more of an option than a judgemet. People respond better that way....but I have to agree it is a learning prossess....hang in there.
