How come most adults don't believe in "sorry" anymore?

Even when I child apologized they don't respond.
My dad told me to back off when I kept pestering him about something and I would apologize over and over until he snaps and says, "I HEARD YOU! Stop saying sorry. I don't wanna hear it. I don't have to prespond."

Why do you keep repeating it? Perhaps because of this it makes you seem insincere. Like you're trying to provoke instead of actually being sorry

@Shell I was sorry. My dad didn't respond. I hate when people don't respond so I keep repeating and repeating. People need to quit being rude

@LaurieKitKat94 Maybe you were but why do you expect a responds? Just leave him be and know you at least said sorry and meant. Maybe, he is still angry that's why no respond. Later he might have come around slowly and forgive you in his own time. You repeating it, is annoying and makes you seem selfish about wanting to ease your own guilt and inconsiderate to others feelings.

If you did something wrong, what right do you have to demand them to say something to you?

@Shell How dare you say I'm selfish?! I'm trying to be nice and all of a sudden I'm the selfish one.

@LaurieKitKat94 But it seems you aren't nice at all. How dare you wrong someone and expect them to forgive you right on the spot. That's selfish and way pass rude. No wonder he doesn't respond

@Shell No I was showing him how sorry I was but he didn't respond. People that don't respond are rude and selish. Why is this so difficult to understand? People are becoming meaner these days. We need to be nice

@LaurieKitKat94 I don't think anyone wants to be mean. Your dad doesn't sound mean or rude. He even acknowledge he heard you, however grudge fully but you repeating it is demanding he forgive you and that's selfish and insincere. If youre sorry, youd think you deserve him to be angry but its like you don't think so
