• The bullshitted “Sorry”

The person might be aware that they’re wrong, but they aren’t sure why. They’ll apologize, just to get you off their back. The problem goes away for the time being, don’t be surprised when the issue comes up again. ‘Cause nothing’s changed.

• The sugar-coated “Sorry”

The person doesn’t necessarily say sorry, but they try to work around the situation and try to drop/forget it ever happened by being sweet. Trying to constantly change the subject and getting the other person to forget what’s going on by distracting them with sweet-talk. 

• An actual Apology

The person realizes what they did wrong, they’ll not only apologize, but also own up to their responsibilities. They will know the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong. They’ll know exactly what went wrong, and find a way to fix the problem.
