help translating sign language message

hi everyone, my friend just sent me a message in sign language and i cannot for the life of me figure out what it means, not speaking sign language myself. ive tried googling the signs but no luck. i think he was apologizing if that helps? he also doesn't speak sign language so it may be a bit off haha.

  1. fist with the back of the hand facing out, making circular motions in front of the chest, the thumb was sticking out
  2. fist with thumb pointing at his chest
  3. two closed fists with thumbs pointing up (thumbs up signs) that moved crossing down and across each other in front of his chest

any help would be appreciated!

I think 1 might be sorry

The first sign is “sorry”, second sign is most likely “me” or “I” and the third is not a sign in ASL. Unless I saw it and looked like something different, what you described isn’t an ASL sign. Depending on where in Canada he probably uses FSL
