Why is it when someone apologizes to another person, they accept the apology by saying "Thats Okay."
No! It's not okay because that is why they are apologizing. Why do people do this? Just say to the person who apologized - "Thank You." or apology accepted and move on! But some people find this difficult.
Why???

Actually... I think I do normally say thank you. And if I'm apologising to someone and they say "that's okay" I normally say exactly what you just did "no, its not okay - that's why I'm apologising..." lol
I like you... we think a lot a like! :)

Hi Slewis,
You're right it's a common response for an apology. Even me i used to say that too--it's okay but now i will more careful in using the right response for an apology. the person must really realize that what she/he did is wrong.

well.. in my opinion, saying "Thats Okay." pretty much means "i accept your apology but i'm still a bit mad. it'll take some time but it'll be ok.".
you see, people naturally forgives others, specially if the mistake was not really meant to be done, and even more if its someone very dear or very close.. its just a matter of how much they can handle the situation..
