Or....Do You Expect More?

Words are free.
Action speaks louder.
Not only you need to mean what you said but you've to shown it in actions that you are really sorry. Do whatever it takes if you think this relationship is worth saving.

I hate false apologies. If I am going to be apologized to..it better be sincere. If not,then dont waste time apologizing. Most apologies are not sincere but something said out of habit. So to me..its like putting a band aid on a gunshot wound. Completely pointless

I would expect more if the harm caused allowed the responsible person a means to rectify fully or in part the harm that was caused. For example if someone borrowed a tool from me and it was damaged or lost while in their possession then I would expect an apology and for the tool to be replaced. If the harm was strictly emotional like insulting me or something the only thing they could do is apologize, and of course refrain from the insults in the future.

An apology is a good start. But if you shoot someone with a shotgun, you should at least pay for his medical care, and give him something for the pain and suffering he had to endure.
So, when it comes to the proper response for unnecessarily hurting another individual, it should be commensurate with the magnitude of the wound you inflict, whether emotional or physical.

The thing I hate about apologies is that sometimes people insult you with the full understanding that they are going to go "Oh sorry, I'm just kidding." This is crap. If you intentionally hurt somebody you are not sorry at all. It's passive aggressive and wrong.
Sometimes things are really accidental and I'm sorry works.
But for those situations where it is planned out and intentional, sorry just doesn't cut it.

It all depends what was done to me and how bad I was hert! If I was hert bad enough then I would quit dealing with the person that hert me...If I feel the relashonship is worth fixing then I will take the band-aid........people make mistakes , but if the mistake is unrepairable then i am not the type to keep making that person paying for their mistake over and over again......Thats when you let them go :)

I say it, admit I was wrong, and sometimes I do something about it to show that I am very sorry. I make it up in other words. And I expect the same thing if it happened to me. Peace!

Yes, it may be but at the time saying I'm sorry may be the only thing one can do...for right then. If a bigger bandage is needed then one must wait until the opportune time arrives.
If you expect more than I'm sorry you may be very disappointed....for it may never happen.

It a great thing.With say sorry when you have hurt someone it will make you feel relief.But say sorry when you really hurt someone and when you doing something wrong.The most important thing,you should not hurt someone,specially your best friend.By the way try this,Maafkan saya,saya tidak akan mengulanginya lagi.In english:I"m sorry,i will not do it again.Good luck.

A heart felt apology works the first time I think....depending on how extreme the circumstances...but if the action is repeated then the words "I'm sorry" hold no value
