Both signs share the same location on the chest and use a circular rubbing motion because they relate to internal feelings and emotions. The crucial difference is the handshape: 'attitude' uses an 'A' handshape, while 'sorry' uses an 'S' handshape.
Not at all! While 'attitude' is frequently used in English to imply a bad or sassy attitude, you can absolutely talk about a good attitude. Your facial expression should simply match the specific type of attitude you are describing.
Most signers move their dominant hand in an inward, upward, outward, and downward circle (counter-clockwise if you are right-handed). However, the exact direction of the circle is much less important than maintaining the correct 'A' handshape on your chest.
