“I Say I’m Sorry But They Don’t Listen!” | How to know when to say I am sorry

 

 

“I SAY I’M SORRY BUT THEY DON’T LISTEN!”

 

 

 

 

WAIT, Are you sending out the wrong message???

 

 

Have you noticed, the further down you feel with your challenges, struggles, grief, of despair, the more you say “I’m Sorry”?  

 

Now why is that, when you are the one that is so distraught and hurt, but yet you are the one that seems to say “I’m Sorry” the most? 

 

 

Well, that doesn’t make sense does it, but the fact is, when you’re that down, you really have nothing else to say. 

 

 

Grief, hurt, loss, & pain are all so overwhelming & difficult to sort out or understand, by saying I’m sorry, it just seems to fill in where other words would normally be, that’s known as a “filler”.  

 

Yesterday, I heard someone say “I’m Sorry” at least 21 times within 15 minutes time (I honestly only started counting after I heard it about a dozen times). 

 

 

Wow, yeah that’s what I said, that’s a bit excessive isn’t it. 

 

 

The sad part, with all the distracting “I’m sorry”, I really don’t know what they were saying.    

 

But, the truth is, saying ‘I’m Sorry’ is one of the top 5 misused words we use (with “um” still leading at number 1″). 

 

 

So, what’s wrong with this, what’s wrong with apologizing 21 times in a 15 minute period? 

 

 

Everything!! 

 

 

Saying I’m sorry all the time is a terrible misuse of the phrase. 

 

Being SORRY, means you are sympathetic to someone, you are regretful or have regrets about something or someone, or even something you did. 

 

 

If you truly DO have regrets or are sympathetic to someone or something, then by all means, be sorry, but only say you’re sorry if you really mean it for a reason.

 

 

So, as you can guess, I’m sorry, got me thinking about how this term should be properly used. 

 

 

I realize my list here may omit something you use the term of I’m sorry for, but, if that’s the case for you;  “ARE YOU SAYING I’M SORRY APPROPRIATELY”?

 

Here are some examples of when I’m Sorry is properly used:

How to know when to say I am sorry

 

 

If you are:

 

 

 

     Rude

 

  Defensive

 

  Wrong

 

  Hurtful

 

  Negative

 

 Impatient

 

 Forgetful

 

  Insensitive

 

  Confused or being Confusing

 

Have damaged or misused something that is not yours (Even if it was an accident)

 

Have not said “I’m sorry” sincerely & / or as quickly as the situation or issue needed

 

Have neglected, ignored, or overlooked something important to someone you love or care for

 

 

 

 

*****

 

 

 

 

****

 

If you are saying I’m sorry for things NOT on this short list I have shown you, then STOP saying I’m sorry! 

 

By using this phrase for everything to fill in words, is not only obnoxious, it’s also shows that when you say “I’m sorry”‘ for something appropriate (as in the list above), you DON”T really mean it.

  

 

So be very aware & careful when talking to people of the words you are saying, especially the fillers like I’m sorry. 

 

 

There may come a time when you really need to say & express how sorry you really are with the true meaning, but, no one really thinks you are & won’t believe you.

I honestly have been through this myself.  I was in a tragic accident last year & lost my job / income, my health & mobility.  I was devastated, the bills never stopped coming in & I was drowning in debt.  Sound somewhat familiar?

 

Let me share with you what I did that literally saved my life.  I’ve been able to completely turn my l life around, get back up, become more successful than ever before & financially free.
