Why is saying "I'm sorry" so difficult? Is it the double "r" that ties the tongue and causes it to go silent at this crucial time? Usually when it is able to be said, it seems it is pronounced with a slight stutter, followed by a bowed head and the word "but" followed by "it wasn't my fault". Take credit for your screw up, embrace it and go all out on a hardy "I am sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me".
Asking for forgiveness is almost as liberating as offering undeserved forgiveness to someone in dire need of grace. If you can't remember the last time someone forgave you, try talking to God right now and asking Him to forgive you for doing something you know you shouldn't have done or said. He is faithful and just to forgive us from ALL of our "screw ups". Best of all, you don't have to stutter, hem and haw, beat around the bush, or deflect blame toward someone else. Say it with me..."I am sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me". Forgiven.
