It bother me a lot when someone says "I'm sorry" and I feel it's just a word they use to get out of an awkward situation .. a lot of people don't really feel sorry for their mistakes, they just want to say "I'm sorry" and move on like nothing had happened and they will do the same things again if they have to or want to ..

No not all the time we mean it really, for me sometimes I say it only to make life goes on or when a see a small minded person that this word will please him so I say it, for example sometimes I do this with my mom she sometimes shout on a small things that I see it meanengless and don't know why she is angry from so I say I'm sorry not because I mean it but because I don't want to her to be upset so I make her laugh afterwards, so sometimes you do things you don't really mean it and do it only to please someone else, I think this is not bad since you're doing a good thing.

When meek person says Im sorry they really mean it. People who were highminded, and dont accept their faults those kind of people probably are not really meant apologizing when they got used to say sorry.

sometimes we just say we are sorry...just to say something. sometimes we really mean to say it, but we cannot...but sometimes we mean it and say it but the other one will not believe it...

I recalled an passage that I read before by Sharon Ellison. She said, "Seeking forgiveness is always sound policy when we believe we may have hurt friends, family or associates. But, a hallow apology is worst than no apology at all". I would appreciate any forms of an apology as long as he realized the fault that he did. I believe there are many forms of an apology. It can be said as an excuse, a denial of his intent, or even to blame.

I think that most of the time that we apologize we actually mean it. But there are times when we feel that we didn't do anything wrong but want to avoid a heated argument or a prolonged one so we say sorry.
