Snakeyes7 Follow Guru Age: 26 +1 y A true apology puts the blame on yourself. That’s something you say to mess with someone. Same with “I’m sorry to hear that” depending on the context. 1 0 Reply
Nazgol Follow Yoda Age: 33 +1 y Yeah, it can come as "it's not really my problem how you feel" & putting the blame on that person instead of apologizing 1 1 Reply Nazgol +1 y But it can also mean "I'm sorry I made you feel the way " but only if right after there's an apology. If not then it's just the previous. Reply
