depends on who, and what the action was. some folks I would never believe an apology was sincere
-
Yes; if it's sincere. But if it's not, it does much, much more damage than if the person didn't apologize at all.
-
If it's sincere. When someone says "I'm sorry", I usually ask them what they're sorry about, and often find myself thinking, yep, you are sorry.
-
It depends on the situation, as well as the number of times they've apologized for the same thing. I believe people that are truly sorry don't just say "I'm sorry," but they work to change the offensive behavior. At least that's what I tell my husband :)
-
it depends on who is apologising.. some people would mean alot and others would mean shit all cuz i know they're lying.. it also depends on the situation.. if i was cheated on an apology wouldnt mean a great deal..
-
Yes. Well, depending who it comes from and how, but yes, an apology is always worth something.
-
Depends who it is from and what it is about. It can mean very little if it is just empty words or about something not worth the apology. If it is really given wholehearted and is about something meaningful, it means a whole lot more to me.
-
It means A LOT, not alot...
-
An apology that is based on a realization that a wrong has been done, and it will never happen again, yes. When people say I'm sorry if I hurt you, it might not mean sorry for what I did, only that you were hurt. That kind doesn't mean much.
-
A sincere apology means a lot to me. It's not for me, but for the person who's seeking forgiveness. It would be great for a person to admit their mistakes.
-
It means a lot as long as they are sincere!
-
If I felt I was somehow wronged and owed an apology, and it was given with full sincerity, then yes, it would mean a great deal to me.
-
If it's done right away it does. If I were to get one months or years later ( and I have ) it means nothing and doesn't matter.
-
Properly administered, yes. Even an insincere apology may mean a lot to me in the case of young children. This is because I believe young children must learn and observe the form of an apology even if they do not or will not feel regret for what they have done to warrent one. And an apology especially means a lot from my wife. It is an INSTANT emotional solvent for any bitter feelings I may be having.
-
yes it does if i know its heartfelt and meant.:)
-
Not to me - sorry! I dont like apologies becuase I think people use them to casually.. its almost to alleviate their own guilt and not becuase they mean it. I think its a cop out and allows people to repeat mistakes..
-
If its sincere.
-
definitely, i'm still waiting for one from a guy on here that calls himself denidowi. i really don't expect it to happen though ;)
-
Yes but only when it is sincere!
