Why is it so hard for some people to say they’re sorry? It’s remarkable how difficult these two simple words can be to say out loud.
I’ve been gifted with my share of never-sorry people over the years. I say gifted because not getting the apology I craved (and thought I deserved) has forced me to investigate the psychology of apologies, as well as my own relationship with them.
