maybe the best way is to feel it then say it?

only when u feel sorry (especially for yourself as that is most honest) then u say it out. otherwise it is as how HEF puts it; excuse, or has how Glance puts it; norm.

i have thought of that before but to tell people in ways other than using the word sorry is not easy. say the first part in HEF's list. sorry = regret? do we really? or we only sympathise? by the way, yes, i trivialise the word sympathy as it is also one of the most misused & abused words, much like sorry. sad to hear? are we really? such are attempts to empathise & if we are face to face with the person, would physical gesture be more honest than words? such as holding the person's shoulder(s), giving hug etc.

sorry is indeed misused.
