Answers:
It is bad manners to not apologize to someone when you have done something wrong to them. How would you feel if someone did something bad to you and never apologized?

Other Answers:
Yes, this is a bad attitude.
If you want to have friends and people to respect you, you have to apologize when you err.
Part of being a mature adult is admitting when you are wrong and apologizing.
YES, it's very important to say "I'm sorry"!
It shows you care, are a good person, and shows you don't have a BIG Ego, full of pride.
Most people don't like someone who never apologizes for anything!!
Best wishes.
very importan,t it builds character to admit when we have been in the wrong. try it you will like it.. :)
only a person who doesnt know right from wrong wouldnt apologize if they did something wrong.. you bet your *** its a bad attitude, grow up and appologize for your wrong doings or no one will ever appologize to you
Yeah, kinda. I don't think you should have to apologize every time for everything, but sometimes it's important. I think it says more about you than you realize. Maybe you don't like to be wrong because you're afraid that being wrong is weak or not smart.stuff like that.
yes it is improtant to apologize when we do something wrong
it is very shallow of you not to apologize if you did something wrong.when you do apologize you will build character.it is a bigger person that admits his faults,then someone who believes he has none.
An apology doesnt cost you a single cent, but of course it cost your pride. But I would say it worth your pride to apologise a word of "sorry" if the fault to any problem is yours. By doing so, you gain a friend but lose an enemy like killing 2 birds with one stone. The other party is also happy and sure ready to forgive you since you so humbly apologise. People like humble people. Take yourself for instance, are you happy if someone in the wrong apologise to you? Simple understanding, isnt it?
Oh yeah you gotta say you're sorry. People will respect you more if you do. And then you can be self righteous if someone doesn't say sorry to you!
I don't think it's necessarily a bad attitude. Who likes to admit they were wrong?

But, when we apologize to someone else, we aren't doing it so much for them as we are doing if for ourselves.

Do it.

You'll feel better
An apology is always more healing for the one offering it than to the one that's been wronged. Always. You will realize this when you let apologies become a natural reaction to making a mistake - and, trust me, everyone makes mistakes. In fact, mistakes are critical to learning new things about ourselves and others.

Therefore, when you don't feel comfortable about apologizing, especially when you *know* that you're the one in the wrong, you need to more fully understand why you would want to hold on to the memory of having hurt someone else rather than to make some form of restitution so that you can go back to feeling better about yourself.

Could it be that not apologizing has become a habitual method for punishing yourself? If it is, you can change this. Recognize that self-punishment never really ends, you get stuck in the memory of the moment, while forgiving allows you to heal; let it go and move on.

Just remember, an apology to someone else is really the gift of forgiveness that you give to yourself for having gone against your own personal instincts about the situation in the first place.
yeah im the same way!! and if i do apologize i just say sorry but nothing else. I think it is bad cuz you will hurt people even though you do not want to but it will happen but it is very important to apologize. My step-mom told me that people that the people you hurt feel 50% foregiving if you apologize i dunno if this makes any sense! But Good luck!! and don't apologize if you are not sorry!!
It is that you have too much pride and that ain't too good! Apologize and get it over with. Eat crow with the rest of us people who regularly stick our feet in our mouths.
swallow your pride, girl. It's hard to let people know we didn't want to hurt tham, and that we regret it happening, and are truly sorry, but it's important, because otherwise they might feel as though you don't care that your actions have hurt them, and that they don't mean that much to you. if the words don't come easy, try using a gesture to let them know that things are okay, and you don't plan on doin anything to hurt them again. don't say it unless you really mean it, but if you know you did something wrong to someone why wouldn't yoou want to make them feel a little better about it?
yes , it will make them feel better and you also.
Wow, it seems that a majority of people believe that you should apologize and that apologizing is a sign of maturity.

I agree and would only like to add one thing.

As you take a look around you, the one thing that you may notice disappearing from society is responsibility.

A great number of people in our society these days have a serious problem with accepting responsibility for what they do.

Whether it's blaming your parents as you grow up (or if your older, for what they did or didn't do as you were growing up), blaming society for creating what you are now, blaming the big companies for not catering to you, blaming an officer for pulling you over when you were clearly speeding, or even blaming the drivers around you for your inability to relax and drive in a polite fashion.

You see it every day in the news as our society slowly turns into a group of litigious people shirking their responsibility for the very actions they are suing someone for.

To apologize to someone when you are in the wrong is a clear sign to the other person involved and those around you that you are a responsible person and you are taking responsibility for your actions.

And while you may be just one person, the following is entirely true:

It is not by our words that people will remember us, but by our actions. Deeds not words.

I hope that this helps.

Love, as always,

Sebastian
yes
yep. but it's even more important to forgive someone. if you don't you become more bitter which will prevent you from loving your family at home. if you really think about it, if you don't forgive people it has an effect on everything else.
i hate apoligizing its just so akward with me so i never say sorry not even if i killed a three yr old with piano wire.which i would never do.ever
You don't have to LIKE to apologize. It is the right thing to do. Let your mind rule your feelings. You may not "feel" like apologizing, but, in this instance, feelings are unimportant.
yes it is incorrect what you are doing.there are three most important words in life which have to be used always..1}sorry 2}please 3}thank u.at all given points in our life we should always use these three words.it shows that we are from a good family background which has good maners.
The sooner you learn to suck it up the better off we will all be.
Yes it is, it is very important to apologize, maybe you should think about why you dont want to apologize to the person, and try correct the problem.
Admit your mistake and move on. Don't cry over split milk but admit to your problem and then let it go.

No one is perfect and to assume you never apologize for anything makes others think that you think you are better than everyone. To admit to your mistake only shows that you acknowledge you are human. The end.
