What is the hardest phrase to say/admit to?

[hateraid]

Is it

I love you?

I need help?

I'm sorry?

It's my fault?

Personally I think "it's my fault". People have a hard time accepting accountibilty

[SouBeachTalents]

If I'm being honest and not trolling, I'd probably say

1. Admitting you were sexually abused or raped, especially as a child

2. Admitting you're suicidal and/or deeply unhappy

3. Admitting you're gay, although that's not nearly as daunting as it used to be

Those are more situational. But yeah I get what you mean. But even in response to that, as odd as it may seem saying it's my fault is harder to some that admitting depression.

2. Admitting you're suicidal and/or deeply unhappy

This, because it totally changes all your relationships. If you tell someone you're suicidal, you've made it impossible for them to reject you, give you serious pushback, etc. It makes male friendship, as I understand it anyway, impossible.

I've had some friends who had issues, but as far as I know suicide was never on the table with them. If it were, everything would have been different.

Actually, come to think of it, you probably shouldn't tell people you're suicidal if you are. Only a very small circle of people and/or family.

Coming out as gay is always going to be hard. It used to be hard because people would regard you with suspicion / hatred / whatever. Now it's hard because everyone's looking to gay people to be the next big, exciting thing. It'd be a lot of pressure.

"I was wrong"

For whatever reason, people don't like to admit that a belief they originally held has been proven to be incorrect. Array the facts in front of them however you may, show them that people who have far more knowledge than them about the subject disagree, and they'll still stubbornly insist that they are right, and everyone else is mistaken.

[Street Hunger]

For many people it's probably: "That's a good point."

For people really interested in conversation, that's an easy phrase to say, though.
