We live in a country during a time when no one wants to accept responsibility for their actions. We live in a time where everyone wants to blame someone or something else, and sue someone else when something goes wrong. Unfortunately this happens all too often in relationships and even in friendships.
How many of us have called or texted someone, and the day comes and goes with no response? It's happened to all of us. I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me. The next day I'll talk to the girl and confront her about it, and ask, "Why didn't you you text me back?" And 100% of the time, her next two words are, "I'm sorry..." and then usually follows that up with an excuse about being busy. Right after she gives me her excuse, I tell her point-blank, "You're not sorry. If you really WERE sorry, you would have just responded. You're only sorry because I confronted you about it. Don't say sorry when you're not really sorry."
First off, there is no reason why anyone can't respond to a text that day. NO ONE is so busy that they can't stop for 15 seconds to respond to a text. Secondly, don't apologize for something that you willingly choose to do. You're not really sorry if you chose to do it. We should apologize for actual mistakes we make, not for choices we take. If you're going to not respond to someone's text or call, at least have to guts to own up to it and just admit the reason you didn't respond was because they weren't a priority and you didn't want to talk to them. But then you sit there and say, "That's not true," and then some lame excuse. And I respond by saying, "It's absolutely true, because I guarantee you that if that text or call was from some celebrity hotty, I GUARANTEE that you would respond within 3 1/2 seconds of receiving that text. Like I said, it's all about priorities. If you really were sorry, you would have just responded.
So stop throwing "sorry" around for willingly choosing to do something. Own up to your actions and just admit it. That way, the person knows that they don't mean anything to you, and they can delete you from their phone. People would rather you just be honest and hurt our feelings than to lie and be deceiving. Or better yet, you could just have the decency to respond. But whatever it is, stop apologizing for your actions you take, and leave the apologies for your mistakes you make.
