Question by Clarity: How to tell if someone is truly remorseful?
If someone makes the same mistakes over and over, could they truly be remorseful? Are some people just stuck in a certain behavior and can’t dictate themselves out? Is forgiving them automatically putting myself as the victim again? When do I know the person will never change and they have no remorse for the pain they have caused?

Best answer:

Answer by Robert

“If someone makes the same mistakes over and over, could they truly be remorseful?”

I believe so. For example an alcoholic who cannot stop drinking will feel great remorse upon each relapse.

“Are some people just stuck in a certain behavior and can’t dictate themselves out?”

Sure, in some cases… like the practicing alcoholic.
