Is someone saying “I apologise” a genuine way of apologising

How else would one apologise?

I just think that saying “I apologise” doesn’t make it as personal and as if he is just saying it to get it out of the way. If I never brought up the topic he never would’ve done it in his own

IMHO, how the apology is said and delivered accounts for far more than the actual words used.

Remember, you don't have to accept the apology if you don't think it's genuine or if what was done suggests a simple apology on its own isn't really enough or sufficient.

if i feel sorry, i would say "I'm sorry" or "I apologise" and be genuine in either phrase i don't know if this is just me though. people say that i am formal...

i'm not sure if the person you spoke with was genuine

do you feel that their words were sincere?

The person was saying that they felt bad and was selfish and dumb but at the same time, he was texting me in a very blunt way rather than a way that was understanding. So really not sure . Looking to take it into my own hands.
