Most people just tend to just say this things. Do you have your own way of knowing this things if people really say it sincerely or just saying it. Words can't express themselves even though thats what it means the thing is if we really mean the word we are saying.

youre right its hard to tell if a person is really sincere saying the word sorry,sometimes the person you really know is not really sincere in sying that word.the best thing to do is just smile.

if its not worth listning to any excuse and you know that its some how not meant then just say ok and smile. those who mean it try not to do the same thing ever to make you feel bad. smiles ever, apple.

Sometimes sorry can really mean a lot from some people, mostly the people that you can really figure out are being sincere and usually that is done simply by knowing the person for a certain amount of time and really knowing what is behind their actions. Other people just lie and lie and really don't care what they do. From them, sorry doesn't really mean anything at all. Those people will just continue to hurt people and continue to say sorry because they have no guilt receptors. Those people I don't associate with if I can help it simply because I have no use for them in my life.

Sorry can be said as an insult, the same as "Excuse Me!?" or it can be said because someone more or less has to say it or it can be sincere, but the words alone are not sufficient to convey sincerity. One has to match the words to the person's facial expression and past and subsequent actions. If I trip someone on purpose, and then say "Sorry!" that is not nice, is it? A million words will never undo an "on purpose." If I trip someone by accident, and I am showing a mortified look and then I say "I am so sorry!" that is sincere, but not as sincere as if I help them up and carry their stuff afterwards. Sometimes in love we say we are sorry just to make peace even though the other person is wrong. In this case when the person who was wrong has cooled down and had a chance to think about it, that is when they should apologize, but this should not become a habit. We have a saying, "Love means never having to say you are sorry!" In fact, I think true love means not doing the kinds of things that would ever have to result in an apology. It all depends on the circumstances, but if someone is saying sorry over and over again on separate occasions, then they are not my friend any more, because I do not have time for this.

Hello ifinallyfoundmybaby, If it is sincerely from the heart, I would accept that. But still, it depends on what kind of mistake that person did to me *laughs* It is not that I am not going to forgive others, just sometimes...things that have been done couldn't just slip away from the memory with just a simple sorry...Anyway, forgive and forget is easily said than done.

I'm tired of listening to that word and you don't even see the sincerity of the person...the mistake was done a million times and sorry has been said a million times too so I don't think it is enough for me to hear that.
