empathy

I hate it when people say, "I'm sorry you feel that way." 9 times out of 10, one is never sorry for the way another person feels, they just say that shit just to make it sound like they're concerned in some way. I don't buy that.

"I don't appreciate the fact that you belittle me in such a way."
"I'm sorry you feel that way."

It's at least more polite than if they said "screw you". It may be hypocritical, but it usually creates less friction than being rude.
