But for some reason, most of us are too proud to say it. What is that about? Why are we so hurtful to our fellow humans? I was recently very hurt by someone. Someone else close to me stood up for me like my knight in shining armor and asked her to apologize. She did not. Instead, she denied it happened. And maybe she doesn\u2019t remember saying that hurtful thing to me. Maybe she\u2019s too proud to apologize. I honestly don\u2019t know. But what I do know: I remember it. I know she said it. And it tremendously hurt my feelings. All I wanted was an \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d That\u2019s it. Is that too much to ask? Am I being unreasonable? Of course, I don\u2019t see it that way. And sure, you can call me bias. That\u2019s fine. But I just hope to get an apology sooner rather than later. What she said was untrue and disrespectful and it really hurt me. I can forgive that moment of hurt, but I just want to hear an apology. Simple as that. Let this be a lesson: Don\u2019t be too proud. Always say you\u2019re sorry. It\u2019s the only thing that matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
