It doesn't mean you did something wrong, it means you regret something that happened. It's an expression that you feel bad about it. There's nothing wrong with saying that you're sorry about something that wasn't your fault; all you're saying is that you wish it hadn't happened.<br /><br />Today it may have the connotation of apology, but that isn't the only thing the word means.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824445546892392815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-9166688997385900502009-07-04T00:33:45.714-04:002009-07-04T00:33:45.714-04:00Personally, I don't even get the "I'm...Personally, I don't even get the "I'm sorry your cat died" type of thing and find it irritating. Did you kill my cat? If no, then why are you apologizing? If yes, then what I really want to hear is "I'm sorry I killed your cat. It was my fault, it was stupid, and I will never do it again. I will do anything to make up for it. Please don't sue me or set my hair on fire."<br /><br />If you want to say you know how it feels, then just say you know how it feels. Apologizing for no good reason just sounds insane.Not Menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-83542413833266027262009-07-03T22:59:20.892-04:002009-07-03T22:59:20.892-04:00LabRat,

Fortunately, he doesn't apply it to sex, although it's a mentality that I'm sure isn't healthy for it either.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09141382551788605401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-88103436358912705832009-07-03T13:22:20.428-04:002009-07-03T13:22:20.428-04:00There's more than one kind of "sorry.&quo...There's more than one kind of "sorry." I've said I'm sorry on occasions two and three, but it's not because I'm apologizing or taking responsibility for a problem- it's because I empathize with them and am sorry they're disappointed. It's the same way that you say "I'm sorry" if someone's cat dies.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16752502341237775324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-81512413921693322642009-07-03T09:11:35.500-04:002009-07-03T09:11:35.500-04:00Ohhh . . . guilty as charged.
