What's Harder To Say? I Love You Or I'm Sorry?

Question

SjE78 · Accepted Answer

if each word is meant, they should be both the same... as to say "sorry" and not mean it.. means it was never thought about, never considered and never viewed from the one saying it as important, which in turn results in an apology which was never considered important but only said to attempt to quell the person (s) who deserved the apology

the "i love you" also stands equal in this regard too... if it was meant, then there was careful consideration before speaking, backed up by actions which as I firmly believe that any action is worth more than a 1000 words, so if you truly love someone, show it... if you are truly sorry... show it...
both are powerful words, with powerful meanings behind them and if used correctly can begin great things or provide a fix to begin or continue what is

Neither are hard to say if you love that person.

laurieluvsit · Accepted Answer

OMG! ... I say them both all the time.

I am forever thinking that I may have hurt someones feelings, because I talk too much... lol, and am always telling someone I am sorry if I did, and I am always telling my family and friends that I love them.

I think you mean saying "I love you" for the first time to a romantic interest though and it is not hard for me, except after I got hurt last time I think I would be more hesitant now not wanting to get hurt again and crying forever :(

What's Harder To Say? I Love You Or I'm Sorry?

1Sophisticatedme · Accepted Answer

I am sorry... bc i am admitting my mistakes and asking for forgiveness from someone i respect or i know i hurt that person in a way i shouldn't have done. I am putting myself out and making things right by saying sorry. Not an easy task to say when admitting my own wrong doings.

It's harder to say: No, I didn't cum

Lliam · Answer

I don't find it hard at all to say "I love you". I've even said it in an unromantic way to certain friends. And I tell my wife I love her every day.
When it comes to saying "I'm sorry", it depends. If I know that I said or did something wrong, I don't hesitate. I don't feel like I am belittling myself in any way.
There have been one or two times when some idiot got butt hurt over something and I decided to smooth things over because I didn't want to alienate them completely. I decided to be the bigger person. It's times like that when apologizing is very difficult.

TCredo · Answer

If asking for me, it's the L word... I've always valued it and not thrown it around haphazardly. I am usually good with saying I am sorry when it's warranted and gotten better over time as long time ago stubbornness sometimes had me avoid it - which was wrong and something I tried to work on which I believe I have.

Staying in a Seinfeld mood from your other post... here is a classic with George and the L word :)

humanearth · Answer

The hardest thing for me to say is Goodbye.

I was moving away from my very best friend. She is my Bestman and I am her Bridesmaid. From kids on we were inseparable.

She was not home and I couldn't face her and tell her I was moving. I chickened out and told her son.

That was the hardest goodbye I ever had to do.

We are still best friends just 500 miles apart. Best part she is best friends with my wife. Them two go ghost hunting once or twice a year together.

Who saids you can't be friends with a girl for over 40 years

VIVANT · Answer

I love you

I’m sorry is easy hc I’ve done something wrong I’m happy to admit it I usually WANT to clear things up and mend my ways. To do so is empowering in my opinion and s true apology of your own volition , Is assertive not submissive..

”i love you “ is its own monster 😂😂

grimlochV · Answer

Personally I don't have any problem saying either one as my sincerity is always legitimately sincere in everything that I say including I love you or I'm sorry I am wrong about something I will be the first one to admit it and come to you to tell you that if I love you I'll be the first come to you and tell you that as well both should be equally not as hard to say but I guess this maybe just being me I saw the people in general I probably say they have a hard time saying you're sorry people don't like to acknowledge when they're wrong the their egos don't allow them to

BlueScorpio · Answer

Both in my opinon. Cause saying I love you can be risky if the person doesn't feel the same. And saying im sorry is hard cause it's awkward after a fight and I rather just forget it and move on. It also depends on what was said and how much i may have or you may have hurt each others feelings.

Jjpayne · Answer

I'd say I'm sorry. However, I love you is powerful and saying that means you are ready for the next level of commitment. When you are past the I love you mark it's I'm sorry that's harder but if someone is Hungry and waiting for I love you, then I'm sorry is easier

Red_Dragon · Answer

I love you. Can't say I love many people and even when you think it's the right one there has to be a point where you're sure. Like you gotta get to that point. That's why so many people go back and forth with their ex. They are trying to figure it out.

Alexandrubaschet08 · Answer

For me is incredible hard to say sorry. Even if i want some time my mought get block especialy if that person is even more close to me.
As close that person is to me as much more dificul is becoming for me to say sorry.
For a stranger is very easy because i never meen it.

Massageman · Answer

Saying that you are sorry is easy. Giving a sincere apology is the hard part.

Too many people say "I love you" with no real knowledge of what the words really mean, the primary one being confusing "love" with "sex" .

Hize99 · Answer

Both are hard and easy at the same time. Each come in different meaning and in a different context... I believe that both are hard to say because we should actually mean them to actually say them and both are also easy because people tend to always use them when others are vulnerable and can manipulate others easily while saying them and thats bad so... yeah!

youknowbetter · Answer

I used to say “I’m sorry” WAY to much when I was younger. It was weak nice guy behavior. I’ve gotten better though. I take a step back and really think it through now before apologizing. When I do apologize I’m much more sincere.

But I have never had a happy outcome after saying “I love” you first. It’s hard for guys to say this because to us it’s a pledge of loyalty NOT just a reflection of a “feeling” we have. Most women don’t understand that.

Therisinghero12 · Answer

For me personally it's harder to tell someone I love them, there's a lot of reasons for that but I'm not going to get into that.
It's pretty easy for me to apologize though, when I'm in the wrong I learn from it, I don't get why some people wouldn't want that.

robertKugler · Answer

Depends on if u mean it or not.. based on your own value system.. and experience with those words I would think... love gets thrown around for burgers n undies one forgets in places one regrets... n same with sorry... im sure we all heard that so many times it's a cliche.. in most cases

CHARismatic110 · Answer

Neither because I only say both when I actually mean it. But a lot of people don't think they are ever wrong or give bullshit apologies and throw i love yous around like it's nothing.

Savvy000 · Answer

I feel as if it’s harder to say I love you because when I say I love you to someone I mean it and I have never told someone (my partner) that I loved them in person because of how difficult it is for me

OnlyMyOpinion · Answer

I suppose it depends on whether I love them more or feel more like I did something wrong. Also it depends on whether they can understand what I say. I tend to be more inclined to apologize if they don't assuming I think I did something wrong. Like to a dog, if I accidentally kick them walking around, I'll say I'm sorry. They probably don't get it but it seems a simpler concept to teach than love. Usually if I try to carry extended conversations with dogs, they just get confused.

Kezzz · Answer

I'm sorry is harder. Because you go through a mind numbing guilt trip first that makes you feel like a disgrace and pathetic. Then to move on from there and ask forgiveness, that's hard. At least for me.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

Only an individual with so much pride would find it difficult or hold back saying either "l love you" or "I'm sorry" and I believe that's true.

Branden315 · Answer

I love you the first time, I never know if thier ready, but I'm prideful, the words "I'm sorry" will never easily fall from my lips... I never say either without meaning them.

SarahNiemann · Answer

Definitely “I love you”! For some crazy reason, I seem to be apologizing a lot!

Kaneki05 · Answer

Neither? i don't see why it would be hard to say i'm sorry or i love you.

MadBoy · Answer

"I love you". I say "sorry" almost too damn much. And I don't really have anyone I can say "I love you" to, since... Well, I don't really feel that way to anybody.

Grond21 · Answer

I love you. Because when I say either one I mean it. And I mess up more often than I say I love you for the first time

DizzyDesii · Answer

Sorry. I hardly say that to anyone. I dont like to say what i dont really mean. So the most they’ll get is a “my bad” if i dont feel im in the wrong

magiusX26 · Answer

MissDawn7961 · Answer

probably - I am sorry - ! for I think most people feel that they have nothing to apologize for so they do not need to say - I am sorry - but they do need to say this anyway ! thanks

_no_one_ · Answer

Confessing the feelings is harder for me than apologizing.

Meatboy02 · Answer

I say "I love you" a lot to my best friend. But I always say sorry if I'm in the wrong, so neither us hard for me to say personally

ryancg · Answer

None of those things are hard to say, people have just thrown them around so much that they've lost all meaning.

lucas262 · Answer

I think , I love you, gets tossed around flippantly  Its a weighty thing to say  Easier to apologize when you've done wrong

I’ll never say either unless I genuinely mean it. If I mean it both are equally easy to say.

Gedaria · Answer

I'm sorry is easy , I love you is the hardest one...

The L word.. Using that word means i trust that person implicitly.. saying sorry is far easier.

mrgspoter · Answer

Why u pick the two hardest ones lol, well I find it harder to say sorry as a lot of the time I would not mean it.

Dinosaursandanime65 · Answer

Neither. What is hard to say is, "I'm gonna let you go" .

Liam_Hayden · Answer

I love you is more difficult. I will say I'm sorry if I accidentally cut someone off. I will only say "I love you" if I genuinely make a commitment to that person specifically.

RingOfFire · Answer

I find it harder to say I'm sorry to a man than a woman, and harder to say I love you to either.

spartan55 · Answer

I guess not. So you bring up something they did wrong to you before? Something unrelated.

I think I'm sorry is harder because of pride.
