I'm sorry for pushing you vs I'm sorry for rushing you

Both these phrases are fine/correct and are commonly used in English. However, they do have slightly different meanings and contexts. 'I'm sorry for pushing you' implies that the speaker physically pushed the person, while 'I'm sorry for rushing you' implies the speaker hurried or put pressure on the person. The choice between the two phrases depends on the specific situation and what the speaker wants to convey.
