For as long as I can remember I have thought an apology meant that you are giving your word you are not going to do the thing you apologized for again. So I have thought that I was being truthful in apologizing and now in my mid teen years I figured out the real meaning of the words, i'm sorry. After I figured out that it meant you felt remorse for your actions I thought back and have realized I have never felt sorry for doing anything. Sure I have almost never repeated the things I apologized for but I never felt bad for them. What is going on? Is this normal? Does everyone just say i'm sorry to be polite or do they actually wish they had not done what they apologized for? I am not going to ask anybody I know in real life this because I don't want to appear odd.
