RE: Eight Reasons Your Apologies Seem Insincere
Upvoted, resteemed, and following!
I have one to ask you about. It is sometimes said to me, and it bothers me, doesn't feel real. I'm not sure if I am being overdramatic though.
example:
"I'm sorry you feel that way"
"I'm sorry you see it that way"
thoughts?
That’s not dramatic. Those type of apologies annoy me too.
They are not apologies at all.
I think it comes from a “customer service” mindset where we want to be polite even if you don’t agree with people. It’s also a way to dismiss a person.
Those sentiments are more people feeling sorry for you then people being sorry about something.
If I were to re-write this article, I would include “I’m sorry you’s”
Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
