If they can justify why they broke your heart, they are not sincere. If they can continuously turn your pain into pain of their own, they are not sincere. Selfish people will find reasons and excuses. They will turn themselves into the victim time and time again because they do not want to take responsibility for the guilt. Someone who is genuinely sorry will never choose whether they hurt you or not. Instead they will accept the pain they caused you, and they will say, “I’m sorry.”
