I don"t know the difference between "I'm sorry (that) S+V" and "I'm sad (that) S+V".
For example,
- I'm sorry I went.
- I'm sad I went.
- I'm sorry you're not going to come.
- I'm sad you're not going to come.
Would you explain the difference to me?

"Sad" is an emotion while "sorry" is apologetic; however we can also say we are "sad" as a way to apologize for something.
Or we can say we feel "sorry" to imply that some action has us feeling "sad".
So much depends on the context. However, I think almost every language uses emotions to convey messages. Nor is it limited to just sad/sorry:
