Difference Between Excuse and Reason

Main Difference – Excuse vs Reason

Excuse and reason are two words that explain the cause or base for something, and the meanings of these two words overlap to a certain extent. The main difference between excuse and reason is that excuse specifically refers to a reason or explanation given to justify a fault. Excuse also tends to be associated with many negative connotations whereas reason is a more neutral term.

Reason – Definition, Meaning and Usage

Reason is a cause or basis for something; it explains why something happened. According to Oxford Dictionary, reason is “a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event” whereas American Heritage defines reason as “a basis or motive for an action, decision, or conviction” Reason can explain why something good happened or why it didn’t happen. It can also explain why something bad happened or why something bad didn’t happen. In other words, it can be used to explain both positive and negative scenarios.  Observe the following examples to understand the meaning and usage of this noun better.

I resigned the job for personal reasons.

I’m sure there must be a good reason behind this sudden decision.

This is the reason she left me.

Did she give any reasons for her absence?

Excuse – Definition, Meaning and Usage

Excuse refers to a reason, specifically, it is a reason given to justify a mistake or an offence. In other words, excuse is an explanation as to why something bad happened or why something good didn’t happen.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines excuse as “an explanation offered to justify or obtain forgiveness” and Oxford Dictionary defines it as “A reason or explanation given to justify a fault or offence”.  

Since excuse is always related to an offence or fault, it is often associated with negative connotations. This is why many people do not like the term excuse.

Excuse also implies that the person who committed the offence or mistake is not accepting his own fault. He or she uses external factors to excuse their actions or behaviour. Let’s take the simple example of failing an exam. Your friends borrowing your books, your neighbour making lot of noises, lack of time, the difficulty level of the paper – all these are excuses. The real reason for failing the exam may be neglecting your studies.

I don’t want any excuses; I want this done by Saturday.

There can be no excuse for further delay.

What’s your excuse for being absent last week?

He used his health condition as an excuse.

Your family problem is not an excuse for neglecting your work.

Difference Between Excuse and Reason

Meaning

Excuse is a reason or explanation given to justify a fault or offence.

Reason is an explanation, cause or basis for something.

Connotations

Excuse has negative connotations.

Reason is a neutral term.

Positive vs Negative

Excuse is usually used in negative scenarios.

Reason is used in both positive and negative scenarios.  

In an Offense or Fault

Excuse implies that the blame is directed at somebody else.

Reason implies that fault is sincerely recognized and  accepted.

The Difference Between a Reason and an Excuse | by Gary Ryan Blair | Mind Munchies

BRAIN SNACK #67

IF YOU’RE FEELING a little emotionally fragile, you may want to read this one later.

Or never.

Don’t say you weren’t warned.

I have a confession to make…

I’m pretty fed up with all the thumb suckers in this world…

I’m talking about the people who are constantly whining, complaining, rationalizing and justifying why their life is a succession of bad luck and unfinished endeavors.

I’m talking about the people who start projects but somehow never find a way to bring them to a finish…

I’m talking about the people with the highest intentions but who deliver the lowest of results…

These people are more interested in arriving at success without every having to do the heavy lifting themselves.

They refuse to accept the reality that they must do their own pushups.

As creator of the 100 Day Challenge and someone who is constantly dealing with people who want to create positive change in their life (relationships, finances, career, health, appearance, attitude, lifestyle, etc. )…I hear way too many excuses.

As a rule, I have more people tell me why they can’t change than why they can.

And while I acknowledge that we all have challenges, hurdles and obstacles to navigate and negotiate along our path…in my humble opinion, most reasons (for not executing) are in fact, not reasons at all.

They are nothing more than sad, pathetic and cheap excuses.

REASONS VS. EXCUSES

So, what is the difference between a Reason and an Excuse?

According to the dictionary…there’s absolutely no differentiation.

And that’s where the problem starts.

Both reason and excuse are defined as an explanation put forward to defend or justify a fault or offense.

What do you say we put an end to that nonsense, right here…right now?

The fact is…there’s a HUGE difference between a reason and an excuse.

This one health related example perfectly illustrates the difference between the two.

A reason for not going for a run is, “I have a broken leg.”

An excuse is, “I don’t have the time.”

It’s sad, yet so very true…far too many people have developed an unequaled gift for making excuses in every imaginable way possible…so allow me to bottom line this one for you…

Excuses are personality defects…they are ugly character flaws; the dirty ring around the collar of your performance which carry the distinct whiff of mediocrity.

The tragedy of the average person is that they have become dependent on the deception, false belief, and unfortunately ease of use associated with making excuses.

I know of no enemy more insidious or vicious than excuses. It’s an enemy that poses a clear and present danger to your future.

Precisely because there is no textbook definition that presents a clear distinction between the two…we are left with one option:

EXAMINE THE RESULTS.

Let’s get started.

The difference between reasons and excuses lies in the results of each…the actions that follow…the repercussions and consequences…as well as how an individual is affected by the events that cause each.

It’s what we do with each that determines the difference.

If you are the excuse making type…you have a strong tendency to view an excuse as the result of an uncontrollable event that you deem as an exoneration of your tasks, responsibilities or plans.

You see it as a legitimate justification for immunity of your sins…for revoking all that is expected of you.

A reason on the other hand is a stimulus that causes something to change or happen, giving you cause to reroute your actions and manage to stay in control of the results you wanted without turning it into an excuse.

Excuses and reasons on the surface share a similar strand of DNA…but what you do with each is what differentiates them.

Excuses are negative and irresponsible…while reasons are natural occurrences, and if acted upon they lead to responsible, results-driven behavior.

Here’s an excellent rule of thumb…every reason MUST have a resulting action.

Now that’s a point worthy of repeating…every reason must have a resulting action.

The main function of a reason is not to justify, but to explain.

Reason implies that fault is sincerely recognized and accepted….that you step up and take accountability for your actions.

An excuse exists to justify, blame or defend a fault…with the intent to absolve oneself of accountability.

An excuse will NEVER be followed by positive, goal-directed or solution-oriented behavior.

Excuses bring productivity to a screeching halt. They waste time and murder potential. They are tools of cowards, wimps and weaklings…weapons of destruction that undermine one’s reputation, credibility and future prospects. Do not associate with them. Ever.

One final thought and perhaps a warning…you can have results or excuses, not both.

What is the difference between justifying and explaining a situation

Love

Situations when it is necessary to ask for forgiveness happen to everyone. And after the words of apology, something follows that shows the person’s real attitude to this problem: he either explains the problem in detail, or tries to justify himself.

Psychologist

To begin with, let's analyze both words by composition.

Justification - from the word "truth". nine0019 But, you know, everyone has their own. Each person perceives any event, passing it through the prism of his personal experience. And everyone has their own experience. There are no two people in the world who were born at the same time to the same parents, who see the same object from the same point. Even twins see the world differently.

Therefore, there is no point in proving one's case to another, much less making excuses. Not only does the truth not exist, but you also fall into the position of a victim. This is a weak position. You kind of say to the attacker: "I'm good, but weak, have pity on me." This is how a child behaves.

  • In what situations do you have to make excuses like that and why? In front of parents, teachers, friends? Whether you are guilty or not, it is better not to make excuses, but to explain why this situation became possible, to give arguments - objective facts, not fantasies.

Explain - from the word "clarity". If you think that you are being attacked undeservedly, justify your position, clarify, and do not make excuses: "Yes, I was late, I had objective reasons for this - the bus broke down" . If you really were late for the lesson due to your own fault, then you don’t need to make excuses or explain yourself, but rather admit it: “Yes, I was late, I overslept” .

This is already an adult position, which shows that you are ready to take responsibility. And besides, they don’t chop the guilty head :)

0003

Explaining is the healthiest and most environmentally friendly way to communicate. To explain means to express your opinion, to argue it, but also to be ready to hear the opinion of another, while remaining calm. Justification is different in that it is very emotionally charged, because you want to prove your case in any way. But the more you justify yourself, the more doubts arise. As a result, this leads to resentment and disappointment.

  • If you catch yourself wanting to justify yourself, most likely you are being manipulated using your guilt.

If you really think that you are to blame, you can always apologize and explain what is wrong: this will be an adult position when you can take responsibility.

Even if they try to accuse you of something, and the person is resolute, don't get scared and don't try to justify yourself right away. You can always calmly say: "I understand that you think that I am to blame, but I would like to explain my position" . Usually this immediately reduces the degree of aggression.

Psychologist, conflictologist, head of the Center for Settlement of Social Conflicts

You have to make excuses if in a conversation you feel guilty, belittled, insecure, initially you are in the position of "victim" and "weak side" . You are ashamed, it seems to you that they do not believe you, which means that you need to bring a more weighty argument that justifies your behavior or act. nine0017 Most often, we justify ourselves out of fear of causing discontent of a person, or in this way we try to avoid punishment for our misdeed.

Explanation is the desire to put everything in its place, to give facts, not arguments that explain your act. According to internal sensations, it is the opposite of justification: here you feel your rightness, your significance, in a conversation you feel yourself on an equal footing. You are not ashamed of your act and you are afraid of ruining your relationship because of it. You are sure that you did everything right. This means that there can be no punishment for wrongdoing. nine0003

Explanation vs justification.

Psihiatr

In one movie I heard a phrase that I liked:

'everyone has an excuse, like an ass, and everyone stinks.'

And there is an explanation of actions, actions:

Is there a difference, and if so, what is it?

Pragmatik

Of course, there is a difference. nine0126 The guilty are justified. Or those who want to do so. In other cases - explain.

Even in production there is a "memorandum" and an "explanatory note". Explanatory notes are written by those who screwed up something, that is, they are to blame. Memos are just notifications to management about something.

The guilty are justified. Or those who want to do so.

explanation or justification and how do you distinguish?

The guilty are justified. Or those who want to do so.

So there is no difference.

How can I tell you... Most likely - I'm just not worried about this issue. And I listen to what they say, or what is written. nine0126

So there is no difference.

IMHO - here depending on the situation.
If a person is accused of something, then his words can be taken this way and that way. Here already, most likely - who will benefit from seeing what... Or those who want to do so. In other cases - explain. nine0126

How to tell?

Pragmatik

Psihiatr
How to distinguish?

Immediately the question is - WHY? Why differentiate? For what? What is the task?

If the task is to UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION, then we simply take and listen to the arguments of different parties. And we are trying to draw some conclusions on the basis of this.

If the task is to UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION, then we simply take and listen to the arguments of different parties. And we are trying to draw some conclusions on the basis of this.

But what can be the output if it is initially unclear what you have in the initial condition tasks? That is, it is not clear what you are starting from and what you want to get?

Roughly speaking, in order to obtain a solution to a problem, the problem must have initial conditions. So far, they are not. There is a task - "how to distinguish". But it is not clear - FOR WHAT?


And if it is not clear - FOR WHY, then a legitimate question arises - WHAT FOR?

Andrey Vladivostok

Psihiatr

Linguists will tell. There are some features of speech, the arrangement of semantic shades, keywords, etc., which will allow us to draw a conclusion. Again, there is no clear definition, only semitones. And when it is not clear, you need to sit down, scroll through the recording and step by step analyze the style of speech. Dreary occupation, it is better to do together, three of us, tk. opinions may differ. The question is why all this? nine0003

or average redneck aunts, they are already filled up with pride, despite the fact that their house and life are embellished at the level of a government hostel, tasteless and untidy at the level of a male bachelor's room. nine0126 and now I find an explanation, there is no excuse.

otherwise I’ll run, I’ll be late, and no one needs any explanation or excuse anymore, I have to leave on time.

Of course, there is a difference.
Guilty ones are justified. Or those who want to do so. In other cases - explain. nine0002 Even in production there is a "memorandum" and an "explanatory note". Explanatory notes are written by those who screwed up something, that is, they are to blame. Memos are just notifications to management about something.

From the age of 20 to this day I have not written a single explanatory note. Whoever demanded, whoever yelled - "write an explanatory note", I always calmly and unemotionally said that I had no reason to explain myself, and I would describe in detail the essence of what happened (or did not happen) in the REPORT.
At the very beginning of the service, one of the veterans I respected very simply and not intrusively explained to me that if you write an EXPLANATORY, then you are already guilty and partially admitted it. Both comradely and veteranly, I recommended that you always remember this. Very soon I was convinced of the correctness of his senile grumbling and adhere to this principle to this day. He explained the same to his children and his wife. nine0003

I also say - I have nothing to explain, because I am not guilty of anything. Therefore, I will write a report. 😊

That's right!!!!!
And the "old guard" drew the border very clearly here. And not in vain. nine0003

Therefore, TC seems to want to find some kind of universal recipe. And she is not. Because "to make excuses" and "to explain" are ESSENTIALLY the same thing. These are the SAME actions, the SAME algorithms of actions.

Choyt justification? Nakurolesil if then Cho make excuses, and if they demand excuses, then they have already decided at their discretion, so not only to start on one line, but to convince the need, that is. finally have a halo
The question is accusatory so are there any precedents

Katzenelenbogen

What are you talking about here?

EXPLANATION - a cognitive procedure aimed at enriching
and deepening knowledge about the phenomena of the real world by including
these phenomena in the structure of certain connections, relationships and dependencies, which
makes it possible to reveal the essential features of this phenomenon.


JUSTIFICATION - usually means recognizing something as permissible,
excusable, expedient, as well as recognizing someone as right,
innocent. In addition, it may mean the rationale for such a recognition,
arguments in its favor.

Schucher

About whether the very difference between justification and explanation from the point of view of a psychiatrist

KAENBOGEGEN

Schuher
O Is there a big or small difference between explanation and justification from the point of view of a psychiatrist

Both are aimed at enriching and deepening the knowledge of the questioner about the phenomena of the real world. nine0126 The only difference is that in the second case, the explanation has to be supplemented with information that
that the questioner can write down his claims on paper, fold it in an arbitrary way
and place it in any suitable container.
😊

If the questioner is wrong, he should only say the ritual phrase "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I flared up."
After that, no explanations or justifications are required.
😊

And what does psychiatry have to do with it?

Shukher

I don’t know exactly what the psychiatrist was asking about, but definitely not about the jamb and the way to transfer the arrows to the circumstances the question of the difference and its magnitude
First, we must wait for the explanation itself for

Justification - conviction of the interlocutor in innocence. The justification can be motivated by both accusation and subjective guilt.
Explanation - training.

linguistically?..
explanation - in cases not clarified
justification - in cases not correctly (falsely) interpreted (estimated)

is there a difference? . .
yes not big

yes, the difference... it is necessary ...

when justified - conclusions have already been drawn, not correct, it is necessary ...

The problem with TS is that he doesn't know how to formulate the question briefly and exhaustively.
Hence all the shyness in the answers.

If we are talking about differences in service documents, then there is no such document "Certificate Note".

There are "Memorandums".
--------------------------------------
Reporting note (unified form code 0286041 according to OKUD ) is compiled in order to inform management about the current situation, the facts that took place, etc. and encourage decision making. nine0003

Memorandums can also be purely informational. Such notes contain, as a rule, information about the progress of any work. Reporting memorandums report on the implementation of tasks, plans, instructions, and work. Thus, the memos provide a link between the objects of management at the vertical level - from the bottom up, that is, they are sent from a lower official to a higher official.
----------------------------------

There are "Memorials". nine0126 They, unlike memos, provide a link between management objects at a horizontal level, that is, they are compiled by an employee or head of a department in the name of a head or specialist of another department. It should be remembered that memos are usually sent from one manager to another or from one employee to another only if they have an equivalent official status, otherwise it will be a memorandum.
As a rule, memos are drawn up on issues of logistical, informational, organizational and economic support. Memos are a kind of correspondence between structural divisions. They usually contain a specific request or offer. Memos are drawn up in the same way as memos. nine0126 --------------------

There is an "Explanatory note".

In the event of a disciplinary offense in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Article 193), the employer is obliged to offer the employee to write an explanatory note. You should be aware that the employee is not required to give any explanation. However, the employer will be able to apply a disciplinary sanction by drawing up an act of refusal.

Another case (not related to a misdemeanor) is an Explanatory note containing a person's official report explaining any action, fact, incident presented to a higher official. nine0126 An explanatory note explains to the management the point of view of the compiler of this document on the event of interest.

There is one more function of an explanatory note - it can explain the content of another document (draft, report, etc.). Then an explanatory note is drawn up to such a document as an application and signed by the head of the organization.
----------------------------

Report - in civil organizations the same as the report, but with a pathetic tinge (usually - about socially significant events). For example, "report on early implementation of the plan" (USSR). nine0003

In the armed forces:
A report is an oral or written report by a member of the military to the chief of service; in the form of a report, statements, proposals and personal requests are also drawn up. The procedure for submitting (submitting) a report is determined by the Charter of the Internal Service and the Ship Charter.

As you can see, there is no "Excuse" here.

Psihiatr

I see it's not here, but it's in the question.

Nick Brake

Psihiatr
I see it's not here, but it's in the question.

In fact, it's here, but you didn't notice it. 😊

In all cases of writing an "Explanatory Note" about a disciplinary offense (for example, being late), or for negative working moments (delivery disruption, emergency at the construction site, failure to fulfill the plan, etc.), there will be an attempt to justify the guilty person ( or whoever the boss thinks is the culprit).
Even if the author proudly calls it a "report", it will still be an attempt to justify himself (or his subordinates). nine0126 Present it as if there was either no violation (misdemeanor), or it was not his fault, or transfer the arrows to others.

Katzenelenbogen

Nick Brake
Even if the author proudly calls it a "report"

So this manuscript should be titled "Bringing in especially stupid information".
Pride will not suffer.
😊

Pragmatik

0136
no.

Oops?
Then explain the BACKGROUND. But that's exactly what you stubbornly refuse to do.

Psihiatr
It is possible, but is it necessary?

Therefore, many people here are already telling you - depending on what "initial conditions of the problem" are and depending on what you want to get as a result.
But this is exactly what you are hiding with all your might.

Pragmatik

Nick Brake
The problem with TS is that he doesn't know how to formulate the question briefly and exhaustively. nine0126 Hence all the shyness in the answers.

TS - he does NOT know how - TS simply DOES NOT WANT to open cards.

By the way, there are no shirks in the answers. People answer.t, based on the task. In this case, the problem is not set, because the problem does not contain initial conditions. EXACTLY THEREFORE the problem does not have a correct answer. And the answers given by the participants simply cover different options for the initial conditions.

At the same time, the answers of TS people were not satisfactory. Something clearly went wrong. Therefore, the TC is silent, like Gerasim in the boat. 😊

Psihiatr

Pragmatik
depending on what you want to get as a result.

I look at the result and understand what I wanted, and then I got it: I asked a question, I got answers.

Pragmatik
In this case, the problem is not set, because there are no initial conditions in the problem.

Quite right, there is no task, just a question.

REPORT

I have established the following deviations from the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the USSR Navy:

1. Shovel handle shorter than standard.

2. Poor fit, wobbles.

3. There is no bulb at the end of the cutting.

4. Shovel tracker clogged with grease.

5. Spade cheeks are rusty, not reddened.

6. Non-shovel shovel.

7. The shovel handle is not included in the holders on the fire board.

8. As a result, the shovel on the fire stand is not fixed, but keeps like hell.

9. The shovel is not painted red.

10. There is no last check tag on the shovel.

11. There is no inventory number on the shovel.

12. The shovel is not included in the income and expense book.

13. The shovel is not included in the inventory of the fire board.

14. The shovel does not hang in its proper place. Far from the place of the future fire.

Daily progress of the stopwatch - in accordance with the pitching amplitude.

At 2:00 pm local time, I aimed my Zeiss binoculars at the women, born around 1930, standing on the quay in the port of Arkhangelsk. One was nothing, but, pointing in the direction of our ship with a blunt object, she laughed obscenely. Outraged by her behavior and her long abstinence, having already been on military service at sea for four days, I made a sharp movement along with the binoculars, which led to the falling out of the tunic pocket of the measuring device, which fell overboard, but two meters from the water I stopped because I was tied to a shoelace, which was agreed with the order of the head of the USSR Civil Defense. nine0003

By the way, the binoculars also fell overboard and drowned, but since they are not listed on the ship, they cannot be written off. An attempt to extract the stopwatch by the rope from overboard failed, as the sailor Curva F.F., jumping behind binoculars, grabbed it and unintentionally cut it off. This led to an even greater inclination of my body, and from it (from the tunic) fell into the water:

1. Weights for maps - 08 pieces.

2. Protractors - 02 pieces.

3. Star globe.

I kept all this property with me, since it no longer fit into the bag of the watch officer. nine0003

Rescuing the sailor Kurva F.F., the boatswain, foreman of the 1st article Chuvilin V.D. tried to throw himself overboard and at the same time knocked down sailor Mukhuddinov, who was passing by with a sample of lunch. Fell overboard from Mukhuddinov's tray:

1. Tea set.

2. Container wine - 14 bottles.

3. Table change - 08 items.

The whole crew, huddled on board, created a dangerous roll, which adversely affected the spare motor pump. The motor pump broke the tank with ten kilograms of rectified alcohol. From the alcohol that got into the spare parts, they failed:

1. Various hammers - 25 pieces.

2. Wart cutters - 08 pieces.

A marine watch in a metal case fell on nautical charts, and all this spilled onto the deck and further into the waterway.

The fate of all objects is similar to the fate of a stopwatch.

Several canvas shirts were thrown overboard to save sailor Kurva F.F. Sailing on this nomenclature hydrographic property, due to the lack of a lifebuoy, the sailor Kurva F.F. fully justified his surname and drowned all things. nine0003

Based on the foregoing, I ask you to write off the above property at the state expense from the personal account of our military unit, and impose various penalties on the guilty, especially Kurva F. F:

Justification is a forced response. Explanation - when you can not answer. nine0126 So if someone asks me why I did something wrong, I say it doesn't matter.

Justification is a forced response. Explanation - when you can not answer.
Therefore, if they ask me why I did something bad, I say that it doesn't matter.

And you can immediately punch me in the face.

Done right, there is no task, just a question. nine0139

It doesn't happen that way. Especially psychiatrists. Where there is no task, there is nowhere to take questions.
A question asked indicates the existence of a task. Which the PSYCHIATRIST wants to solve. Well, or - check an honest company for something.

Justification - when you messed up and do not recognize your cant, but you are talking nonsense.
Explanation - when you give the objective reasons for the actions taken.

the difference is only in wording, but not in essence.

difference in motivation

when explaining, the defendant sets out the facts that led to this state of affairs and affairs and the nature that they (actions / conditions) had - surmountable or irresistible force, and regardless of whether he is the culprit of the actions that led to the data consequences

in justification, the primary goal in presenting a vision of what happened is to exonerate oneself or shift blame to others or external factors, and not to present a chronological and factual sequence

IMHO, but following this rule it is immediately clear who gave a shit and who worked

in justification, the original goal in presenting a vision of what happened is to relieve oneself of guilt or shift it to others or external factors, and not to present a chronological and factual sequence

I can give a lot of cases where no one will notice the difference. Those. and TO JUSTIFY, and EXPLAIN something a person will be COMPLETELY EQUAL. And if it is INITIALLY UNKNOWN whether there is a person's FAULT or not, then it will be impossible to understand whether a person is justifying or explaining. nine0003

That is, what I'm talking about - in the absence of initial conditions, the problem has many solutions and all of them can be equally correct or equally incorrect.

Based on the paragraph above - yes figs there! Nichrome there is nothing clear. Well, this is on the condition that the person making excuses / explaining is not a complete jerk, but a normal person with a head.

Where there is no task, there is no place for questions.

Questions still arise when thinking about life, thinking is useful for psychiatrists too.

Pragmatik
And the question asked shows the presence of the task. Which the PSYCHIATRIST wants to solve. nine0126

No, if there was a task, I would write like that, I don't like manipulations and use people "in the dark".

Pragmatik
Well, or else - check an honest company for something.

No, I do not want and there is no need.

P.S. I think that this answer can be considered exhaustive and do not continue the topic of my ulterior motives.

have never been guilty or
have never admitted it?

I have a question of an academic nature or just out of innate curiosity, I'm interested in personal opinion, but not the circumstances of my personal life, so please refrain from such and similar questions.
