Saying a simple ‘sorry’ is also dealt with law, as governed by Canada’s Apology Act. Learning about this law can have a huge impact in negotiations and trials
why would it be; it just means “i feel bad”. which you could say for things you did but also it should be allowed to feel bad for things you didn’t cause yourself.
I don’t think anyone will assume you started the fire just because you’re sorry someone had to evacuate.
But let’s say you’re out in public, there’s people all over, you bump into someone, or someone bumps into you, you’re not sure, but either way, they fall down and injure themselves. Thanks to this, you can say “I’m sorry” without having a lawyer argue that you accepted guilt for the incident just because you said you’re sorry.
I wonder if there’s a chance he’s trying to console you. like there’s nothing you could’ve done and it wasn’t your fault so you might as well not worry about it kinda way.

“we had to evacuate because of the wildfire”
“oh, I’m sorry”
“I knew it you son of a bitch”
It depends on the context, don’t you think?

For anyone having trouble understanding the difference between “I’m sorry” and “I apologize,” think of how it would be taken at a funeral.
“I’m sorry for your loss”
Yeah, ive had literally this conversation, word for word.
I’m sorry
Why? What did you DO?
You fucking monster!
Every single time I tell my bf I’m sorry about something bad that happened to him, his response is, “Why? You didn’t do it.”
