Some people cannot accept that they had committed mistakes. With such actions, they cannot even say “sorry” in sincerest way. They need to say it just to save their face to the eyes of people. Sensitive people can sense how genuine the apology is and can determine if it is being heartfelt.

Yes, I do sense sincere apologies. Moreover I don't even mind if a person does not tell "sorry" but they feel so through a gesture .. we can easily make it out.. these days EGO takes a great part in anything and it stops one from being sorry also.. my principle even if it's a slightest mistake we should apologise ..

@Shavkat : yes, that's exactly my point. Also it has been an easy practice to say "sorry" to escape from a problem. The term "sorry" is just not by the word it should have some life in it ..

You hope that the apology will show changed behavior bit sometimes, the apology comes just so they can put the fight or disagreement behind them.

you will know it eventually if a sorry is sincere, especially if you come face to face with this person who apologizes. the eyes, kabsat. the eyes say it all.
why, have you received an apology that is not heartfelt?

Well, I had met a lot of people who cannot look straight into my eyes. They are not sincere. I can be described this behavior with my evil aunt. The last time we had talked in Manila, she can look at my eyes. It simply means she is so guilty for doing bad things to us.

@Shavkat "she can look at your eyes"? then she is honest about what she is telling you? i thought she cannot look straight in to your eyes. we can actually see others' eyes for signs of sincerity or evil.

I think apologies should be sincere but too often people think that just by saying sorry they are out of trouble. Sometimes it takes awhile for the injured party to forgive. I think what is crucial is their behavior after the apology. And if they have fooled you, you will probably see no difference in their behavior.

@Shavkat I believe you can tell sincerity in those who are the closest to you because you recognize their behavior. Say a co-worker apologized, it might be a little harder to determine.

I always sense if the person is really sorry or not. Just feel it or look at some facial gestures, or his/her eyes.

It's not easy to say sorry for sincere people. Others who just say it , doesn't feel , yes I can say if a person is genuinely saying it or not
