I was wrong, I'm sorry, Forgive me, I don't know. None of them. If one lives their life cleanly and honestly, then any of the phrases above shouldn’t be hard to say to someone with no guilt attached.

If one lives their life cleanly and honestly I didn't mention anything about guilt. I asked if it was difficult to admit when you are wrong or admit you don't have the answer to a question or the solution to a problem. Or, to say you're sorry and ask to be forgiven if you've harmed someone or misunderstood their intentions. There have been times when I've trusted people who told me they were going to do something, or knew how to do it, and either never did it, or did it wrong. I've also had to apologize for making assumptions and ask for forgiveness. Who knew all this time I was unclean and dishonest?

None of them are difficult to say for me. If I'm wrong I'll say I;m wrong,, if I unintentionally insult someone or hurt someone I will say I;m sorry.. When I talk to God which is quite often I pretty much start out with please forgive me, because most my talking might make him or her think I;m fed up with believing. And when I don;t know something, I'll be the first to say I don't know.

I have no problem saying any of those things when they are called for.

I was wrong, I'm sorry, Forgive me, I don't know. I just found this almost 2 year old post and think it is quite interesting. I had to ponder it for a while, but have no problem saying any of them. The phrase "I'm sorry" is overused by many people (especially women) when there is nothing to actually be sorry for. I am now 80 years old and have no problem saying "Forgive me" or "I don't know." birdgal ~ What made you think of those particular phrases and how do you feel about saying them?

Ruby, I didn't see your question until just now. Better late than never. Lol.
One time my nephew was banging a spoon on the counter. It was giving me a headache. I asked him to please stop and told him why. He told me he was sorry but continued to make all that noise.
I told him I'd rather he stop all the noise instead of being sorry for doing it. BIG difference.

Of the four examples given in the OP I am probably least likely to ask for forgiveness.

Ruby, at this age I'm good with saying all of them. Lol.
For me two of them are kind of a pair. When I need to say I'm sorry I usually have to say forgive me too.
I remember as a child being told everyone makes mistakes that's why there's erasers on pencils. That makes saying I was wrong a little easier, however it's still difficult to say and I don't know why.
