Okay, I should have added, not just merely saying sorry, but the desire to correct things with the other person, admitting fault, trying to take responsibility for your previous behavior, a true feeling of remorse. Why does the apology still sometimes fail, even when the person is being direct, honest and sincere in their approach? (I suppose I wasn't specific enough.) I did not mean to use "sorry" or any type of apology to be an excuse for inappropiate behaviour. I meant why do authentic heartfelt apologies, still sometimes fail. The type of apology you are referring to rkilbirn is the cover up apology, to lessen the impact of the blow. The type of apology I am referring to would be a sincere honest approach like Lincoln's apology for slavery. Sure it wasn't recognized as remotely authentic until after he was deceased, but we can tell that he was sincere. This is the type of apology I am reffering to.

Some people do not understand or incorporate the ethics of apologies. People usually being perfectionists, mental disorders that involve insecurities and rejection of guilt or flaws etc...
To show guilt or remorse for a wrong is usually expected of someone by my standards. How ever if the problem seems intended and premeditated with the gained expectation that I wouldn't accept an apology for.

practice me any of those 10 which at the instantaneous are not one hundred% acceptable on the mark. Are you so blinded by technique of the easy mind-set of patriotism that you won't be able to admit that as a u . s . we've made many mistakes alongside the way. we may be able to become a good more suitable u . s ., a extra respected u . s . in the course of the international by technique of admitting we are not suitable.

Mostly they fail because people say they're sorry to make themSELVES feel better, because of guilt and regret. The person who is offended is only a secondary consideration, if they're even that.

mostly because they are not sincere Or it is the 6th time for the same offence, Saying you are sorry doesn't change anything, it is just an excuse for your actions that were not appropriate

Sometimes they aren't enough. For example, if a drunk driver kills your child, his apology will mean nothing.
