My first exposure to that mentality was watching Jersey Shore
It was so amusing how a simple apology was the line that couldn't be crossed
I didn't understand it at all, and, yes, they were the laughing stock of the country. Douchebag mascots.
I occasionally see that mentality, but from people in that same region in the US. I wonder if there is something cultural and if that extends to a culture from “the motherland” (often times people in the US just believe a cultural pattern they practice is from a place in Europe they share some heritage with, but its all made up)
- throwaway743 5y agoNah dude. Northeast born, raised, and living. I apologize whenever I'm in the wrong out of realization and empathy, as do others. Self absorbed douchebags are everywhere in the world unfortunately. If you encounter people like that, it's just a sign that they're a bad bunch.
- davewritescode 5y agoHalf the jersey shore folks came from where I grew up and I apologize when I’m wrong. I’m definitely a strong presence and being able to apologize when I’m wrong helps me be more forceful when I feel I need to. Not apologizing is a sign of insecurity IMO unless you really feel like there’s no possibility you could’ve been wrong.
