Does the apology soften you so that are willing to compromise or do you normally maintain you stance? How would you react to an apology and how does it make you feel?

It softens me straiight away no matter what the issue was/is, i tend to be extra nice, thats one of my downfalls, it keeps making people walk all over me.

Depends what the apology is for and whether they've apologised before but not meant it and gone on to do it again. I like to think I always give people a second chance, as we all make mistakes but I do tend to accept too easily sometimes and on some occasions the person hasn't been sincere at all. If think when someone apologises there sometimes has to be further discussion, in order that the problem that brought about the need for an apology is resolved so it never happens again. I actually feel embarrassed sometimes when someone apologises to me I don't know why maybe I'm not used to seeing people's vulnerable, sensitive sides. I think when someone does apologise especially if it's over something trivial we should accept it with good grace after all we all know how difficult it is to say sorry and that we were in the wrong and a little compromise never hurt anyone.

Depends on the situation, an apology always wins I guess, as no one sure wants to quarrel? If someone is in the wrong then an apology should be offered and accepted. I personally like the making up part, so yep bring on the apologies.

There are two kinds of apologies: sincere and insincere. I f the apology is sincere and from the heart, I will accept it. If it is forced, by that I mean the apology wasn't his idea, I would acknowledge it but not accept it. You can tell he isn't sincere, and his mind hasn't changed about what he did. I don't trust this kind of person. When I know I'm wrong, I feel better about myself to give an apology.

Well if some one gave me a genuine apology I would except it. But I would let them know that I need time to think. I like to be alone after someone apologizes to me so I am able to think about what it is they did to me or someone close for me to deserve a apology. Yeah I forgive them becuase its never good to stay mad if someone is giving you there deepest gratitude. But it would be hard to forget. But you never know you might look back on it and laugh or you may look back on it with sadness. I know I did. But hey you get over it at some point in your life its just forgetting that's hard.

If the apology is genuine, then i let it slip.
It doesnt help building a grudge and making yourself stress out if the person has been big enough to admit their mistake.
But if the same thing keeps happening and the sorry's keep coming, well eventually enough is enough and sorry is not good enough anymore

To tell the truth, I never accept an apology until I'm ready to forgive the person. I'll tell them that I'm still mad at them and I need time to cool off. After that happens, an apology feels a whole lot better.

It depends on the situation but I would say to the person " I can accept your apology but i can't forget about what you did just yet"
The worst one is "sorry, I didn't mean to say it"
that really winds me up! You shouldn't say things you don't mean.

You can accept an apology without having to forgive someone. But my favorite thing to say to someone who apologizes to me is "I would rather you tell me it's never going to happen again, than to apologize."

thank you on your truthful apology. If I ever indignant you, I show regret in turn. thank you for taking the 1st step. you in basic terms gave me a reason to learn greater approximately Islamic practices. p.s. i do no longer blame you or your faith for the strikes of others or their religions. i actually agree that if any of the great 3 religions is powerful, it would be Islam, using incontrovertible fact that there are greater of them interior the Holy Land than the rest. Who would understand greater effective than the folk who stay there and have all of the historic previous at their fingertips?

If it is a genuine and sincere apology, I will back down. It takes a lot of guts to sincerely apologize, and ADMIT to being wrong.
