This mornings aimless wandering thought

[Pushbutton2]

I cast no stones.
Just wandering/wondering.

Recent threads have left me curious.

When someone shares bad news or maybe even good news why does one say they're sorry to HEAR that.
By saying it that way aren't we subconsciously telling the person sharing we don't want to hear it?

If we say I'm sorry, doesn't that just give a general one size fits all response?

Wouldn't I'm sorry for blank, be a more empathetic way of responding?

Again I don't know just throwing this out there.

ME? I prefer to use I'm sorry for.....
In MY MIND I'm making a personal connection. I have a desire to make personal connections not people connections.

Sorry to hear thats the way you feel.

Just a socially acceptable way to show concern without getting into someone's personal business imo.

Sorry to hear that you spend time thinking about stuff like that.......

I get what you are saying though...makes a little sense.

I can see your point. Just think it's a matter of semantics. I think most respond the way they've learned through parents, members at church, etc. I doubt any disrespect or lack of humanity is intended how people express their sympathies.
As far as online I'd think that someone just caring enough to open the thread and attempt to make a sympathetic response should be appreciated because most just scroll on by.

I’m sorry you can’t differentiate

People don't pause for the comma anymore.

I'm sorry, to hear that.

Methinks you've gone and over thought it. On a side note, accurate thread title.

No comma in that. Sorry.

Thread title checks out....



My condolences to those who have used "I'm sorry" in the past ....you have just now been made to feel bad......I think...

“I’m overwhelmed with excitement, with the tragic outcome of your personal story. Hope it works out for ya!”
Would this phrase cover all the bases?
