I have heard those two little words a million times over the last three months:
"I'm sorry I forgot about our appointment. For the third time"
"I'm sorry that you didn't get to talk in supervision. again."
"I'm sorry that I interupted you to ask your sister a question.again."
"I'm sorry that I didn't answer your email. again."
"I'm sorry that I asked you about your week and then ignored the answer to focus on your sister/my grandchildren. again."
The funny thing is that most of the time, they don't really mean that the person is sorry. What they really mean is "It really sucks for me that you are upset about something I did or said so now I'm going to say these two words with the hope that I will be exzonerated (sp?) from all wrong doing." Nope. I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. If the person was truly sorry, he/she would make an effort to change the behavior instead of continually repeating the same offenses and then offering the standard empty "I'm sorry". you're sorry? Then PROVE IT!!

Wow! Sounds to me that you are upset with these two little words, that really in my opinion ore just words. Yes, I do agree with that if the person really meant they were sorry they wouldn't keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
Sometimes I say those words too, just to get them off my back. Really, what person hasn't done this.
Boy my typing is just outrageous today, I'm sorry. Yes, I truly mean it.
