Was with someone who was a some people are professional victims. Offended at everything, forcing apologies over every perceived slight. Particular if they were at fault.
A no apologize rule is sometimes a defensive measure to shut such people down.
Doesn’t mean it’s healthy at all. But I’ve found it critical to survival
- paulryanrogers 5y agoDemanding verbal apologies is an curious technique. Generally I was taught I need to apologize when at fault yet sincerely, and never lie. So in situations where a harm was accidental, or not clearly a harm to anyone, except in the mind of the victim it can be an awkward place. Moreso if the victim has a glass jaw and a habit of throwing stones. Of course every person and situation is unique, so diligence is required to maintain a healthy sense of empathy without reinforcing destructive behavior.
