I get the impression that the “sorry” one is more about people who do so manipulatively whereas I do it out of habit

i honestly don't know what the difference is. thats probably a bad sign but yeah

i generally say it when i feel bad but i also say it when i don't know if i should feel bad or not. and then of course because my brain hates me sometimes i retroactively think i never actually felt sorry even though i did and i just stopped feeling sorry because someone forgave me a bit ago
