I'm Sorry :(

.... /bs
Okay being serious now, I was wondering the use and meaning of the term "Sorry" I assume everyone here can agree that to one extent or another the word is pretty meaningless, it can be used to placate situations (in a fight) and often to make oneself seem polite(I got in your way when you were trying to get out of the room)
But honestly if I was asked one word I detest, it's the word "sorry" since seldom does the speaker literally feel guilty for their actions. In one incident in primary school I got into a fight with another girl, we got called to the Principal/Dean's office was forced to talk to eachother, and apologise to each other.
And while she apologised immediately, it was obvious she didn't mean it, and being the rude little person I am I refused to apologise xD Which resulted in her yelling at me and calling me a heartless *****
In the example above I apologised, but to be honest I don't mean any of it, actually it was written as a joke.
Either way I just wanted to see what other people think about the word "Sorry"

Sorry is just a worthless word people use to cover their idiocy, in a society accepted manner.

I can agree with that, even when people are genuinely sorry, they often say it to alleviate their sense of guilt, and in other cases it's to make themself seem polite, placate the situation to prevent escalation[b]So they don't come into conflict[/s]. So your idea on "covering idiocy" fits into both "seeming polite" and "Placating situations" (EG, You were 15 minutes late for work, you apologise for being late despite you thinking it's not your fault there was a car accident on the freeway which prevented you getting to work on time)

I apologise to everyone who I've been mean to on this forum, if I have said anything to offend or irritate you I am very sorry and hope you can find a way to forgive me, I admit I act a bit harsh at times, and that I flame unneccessary and attribute this to my short temper, I am very, truly sorry... .... /bs Okay being serious now, I was wondering the use and meaning of the term "Sorry" I assume everyone here can agree that to one extent or another the word is pretty meaningless, it can be used to placate situations (in a fight) and often to make oneself seem polite(I got in your way when you were trying to get out of the room) But honestly if I was asked one word I detest, it's the word "sorry" since seldom does the speaker literally feel guilty for their actions.

I do not want to miss the day that you actually mean that XD
Anyway most people use sorry just to get out of trouble since for some stupid reason it reduces your punishment on school or whatever.
While if you get like in a fight with a friend then they can mean it since they want to stay friends
In the end, it is mostly for theirselves.

People say sorry to apologize to themselves, for allowing themselves to get caught. xD |
Mostly I say sorry for this reason except when I actually hurt someone, then I immediately feel really bad and have to say sorry 1000 times or so. I just feel really guilty

I mean Seraphs is pretty close but essentially it seems like he's focusing on his own guilt.
So far I find the word "sorry" to be a complete lie :/

^Hmm well essentially game characters are electric bits of data, while the fly was a living creature, I guess it's possible to feel bad over the death of a fly if you're really

Whenever I apoogize to someone, I generally don't feel too much guilt, but I often go over to them and go, "Person, I am sorry that ACTION happened...." with me going on explaining what I feel I did was wrong, and I usually end it being "...you don't have to forgive me, but I would like it that one incident does not ruin our INSERT RELATION TO PERSON HERE".
Probably explained it wrong though.
