Understanding Bad Apologies
Bad apologies often masquerade as genuine, yet they fall short of true accountability. Common types include the 'no apology' apology, where an individual might say, 'I’m sorry you feel that way,' which shifts the focus away from their actions. A more productive response to such statements is to assert, 'Don’t apologize for my feelings; apologize for what you did.' This approach not only clarifies expectations but also challenges the other person to take responsibility for their statements or actions.
