A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
There are three critical parts to an apology. You have to feel regret/remorse, accept guilt and make an effort to correct it/make sure it never happens again.
If all three aren't present every time then someone isn't sorry. If they say sorry and don't make it right or make reasonable actions to ensure it doesn't happen again then they are a liar and poor company to keep.

That's why I never apologize!
"I'm sorry, that's just the way I am!"
"I know what I am" - princess pony head
There are people whose entire modus operandi is to not give a shit about others in their choices and actions, apologize when challenged about it and carry on doing the same.
Their "apologizing" is just a confrontation-avoidance technique, not a genuine expression of regret.
Oh you've met my "supervisor" Dave?
Why is "supervisor" in quotes? You'd know if you knew Dave.
My dad would always say "don't say sorry, DO sorry". The apology will be present in your words and actions.
Could have picked a better father...
A better father also wouldn't mix up "then" and "than"
I didn't even notice that smh my head

Assuming we're talking about a friend/acquaintance, a person can be genuinely sorry but sort of be too dim to meaningfully improve their behavior. That said, if they don't at least give a good faith effort to improve then my patience will wear thin and I'll probably want to be around them as little as possible, even if I end up ultimately forgiving them on the emotional side of things.
Nope. If buddy does the thing again, he gets a Hey Buddy talk to remind him he's over the line. You still have to be that proper friend as long as you can.
I don't know that I agree that you have to but sure that's not an unreasonable policy either. I guess it depends on the specifics for me.
