why would it be; it just means "i feel bad". which you could say for things you did but also it should be allowed to feel bad for things you didn't cause yourself.

"we had to evacuate because of the wildfire"

"oh, I'm sorry"

"I knew it you son of a bitch"

    It depends on the context, don't you think?

    I don't think anyone will assume you started the fire just because you're sorry someone had to evacuate.

    But let's say you're out in public, there's people all over, you bump into someone, or someone bumps into you, you're not sure, but either way, they fall down and injure themselves. Thanks to this, you can say "I'm sorry" without having a lawyer argue that you accepted guilt for the incident just because you said you're sorry.

    Every single time I tell my bf I'm sorry about something bad that happened to him, his response is, "Why? You didn't do it."
