Has anyone ever disrespected you, hurt you, or lied to you? Did you want an apology from them? Did you ask them to apologize?
If they did end up apologizing, here’s how you can tell if it was a fake apology.
If they told you, “I’m sorry if you feel that way,” or, “I’m sorry if you feel disrespected,” or some variation, it wasn’t a sincere apology. Had it been sincere, they would have said something along the lines of, “I’m sorry for disrespecting you. That was wrong of me. I won’t do it again.”
Why would someone give a fake apology? Big ego and lack of accountability. Some people think they’re perfect (usually narcissists) and giving you a sincere apology would be a loss for them and it would somehow lower their status in their own eyes.
Should you stop dealing with someone over one fake apology? I don’t think so. But if it’s a recurring pattern, then it might be a good idea to gradually phase out of that friendship or relationship, as it’s a major sign they don’t value you. And who wants to be around someone that doesn’t see our worth?
Do you remember a time when someone gave you a fake apology like the one mentioned here? Did you feel they weren’t being sincere about it?

what i have experienced with fake apolgies that peoople spamming you with apologies and shout or calling you from distance and trying to say sorry just to make you show up how you will feel when the person is ready to accept the apolgie. if they still knon that you are angry about them they will will be affraid to come on your path and give your guilty feelings and a reason why they can not come to you and say sorry. So how i behave in these situations i keep shutting my feelings afetr these shoutings or fake apologies. and do not give them a reaction about their stupid apolgy remark. Cause an apolgy after hurting somebody or heart break somebody who even do not knoiw who you are only smelling or feeling their spirit does not mean that i will accept their apolgies in a one worth. It must be disscused and trying to avoid this actions and never repeat it anymore and stay far from my space and never give them an enrty again. So everybody can stalk you or spamming you with fake apolgies and when yoiu say the yes word they will abuse you and the chnace is big that these people gonna hurt you with the same feelings and trying to get an acceptance in a way that theyb want to hear or you to behave. like hurting everyday and gthe end of the day saying sorry!! This is not will be never acceptable.
Absolutely Not accepting the okeydokey bestie
Thus very educative and I learn a lot from you. Almighty God richly bless you, keep it up my dear friend.
Very great and of course I like it
no i don’t ask for apologies, i wait for them to give me an apology. i learned long ago people do what they want to, you will never get a heartfelt apology by asking. it will be forced, if they do it on their own most of the time its heart felt.
