  • I see that the phrase that sucks said expresses sympathy by definition. Is that the sentence that sucks in your example? The use of the apologetic not-apology I’m sorry that sentiment is entirely redundant, though it is commonly used idiomatically in the way you have described.

    If you have to attach some further compassionate sentiment, you may instead include a little empathy, That sucks, I’ve recently lost a family member myself or express willingness to help them resolve the problem (if possible), That sucks, have you tried chamomile tea?

    I’m sorry is widely understood to be an expression of compassion rather than an acknowledgement of personal fault. What is the reason why you said to me it isn’t your fault? Does this mean my response is good? What you did intend to do was not to be helpful to a native English speaker. if this is happening again, you are not pledging to make a change to avoid a repeat of the situation. What do you do? As you can see from this response: Such a reply was probably intended to be

    playful or teasing, or exposes underlying hostility.
