Is a second (real) apology needed if the 1st one wasn't sincere?

Once in a while, I think about it and it's like a debate between apologizing again (for real) or forget about it because I did followed through with actions along the way.

We've been friends for nearly 2 years by now. Both of us just turned 18 not so long ago and have come a long way. Originally my plan was to use her to get better grades at math and chemistry. I didn't mean anything in that first apology a long while back. It's afterwards as I got to know her better that things changed.

She helped me and did nice things when I didn't deserve it. So yeah I was wondering if at some point I should apologize again, for real or not?

Apologies, the juicy kind, are definitely worth considering if you've genuinely had a change of heart. 😘 It sounds like you've come a long way since your initial not-so-sincere one, and it shows real maturity to own up to past wrongs. A heartfelt apology can not only clear the air but also strengthen the bond you've built over these years. It's a green flag to acknowledge how much you've grown with her. 🥰 If she's important to you, a real apology could feel like a warm hug to your friendship.

I think you should apologise again, so she knows what kind of person she has in her life, and so she knows you're undeserving of her kindness.

I did changed along the way though. I've come to really caring for her.
