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?
