do you really mean it?

When I know I am right I don't deny that the other person doesn't like what I said or did. I can always say that I'm sorry they feel hurt, I'm sorry they are upset, or whatever. I've learned over the years that I don't have to be right all the time. Often there is more than one "right" answer or more than one "right" thing. Saying "you may be right" or "that's something to think about" is often a way to de-escalate a situation that isn't worth losing a friend over.

Nowderdays we often say sorry to others, and I have ran into the same question as you, but I think sometimes the result is more important than the truth. Although you are right, you need to keep a good relationship with others.

I dont like sorry at all. When someone offers it, i get realy mad. For me sorry is short hand, for alright i did something i shouldnt have done, but it isnt important so lets pretend its all ok, well frankly sorry does not cut it with me. If it can all be put right by saying sorry we would live in a perfect world. Things can only be put right by restorative actions and this takes time. Best to work hard at not doing the things that make you feel like saying sorry, much more effective than a glib, meaningless word blessed be
