Does anyone else feel like 85% of apologies are so disingenuous? Like, "I'm sorry, I 'X' and it made you feel 'Y'," does not feel like you care even slightly.
"I'm sorry," is so linked to, "Excuse me?" that I can no longer view it as an apology. Bring me back to, "I have done X and I must beg that you accept my apology. Forgive me if you can find it within yourself to."
Other people, apparently, do not share this sentiment. I feel like the above is seen as sarcastic? and not the level of vulnerability it takes to be truly sorry for something.
This definitely isn't linked to my mom, probably.
