the non-apology

[ezio]

I am in a situation where i have to apologize for something i did, even though I would rather not, i have very little say in the matter, my question is how to do you apologize without accepting any fault or taking the blame..ie the non-apology apology.

to be honest, i am really not up in the mood to be preached to about how you should only apologize when u truly feel sorry for your actions and all that bs.. all i want is a way to say i am sorry without saying i am sorry

Impossible to answer without the details.

Man up and accept your faults. Don't try to weasel your way out of there.

or

Im sorry you cant handle it

Whenever I make a mistake i'll say something like "I didn't mean to do that" or "I thought it was a mistake doing this." then i'll explain why "dam i had like 15 beers that day I was totally out of it. I have to be more careful next time". I would only apologize directly if I did something very serious to a person and they really deserved it. "Dude your wife blew me last night, I'm so sorry!" <run away>

some girl wanted to fight me and i told her i'd let her hit me 10 times and i would hit her once. I saw the fear in her but she tried to hide it.

She later came over and apologized for trying to fight me, i said "I'm sorry for making you feel the way that you feel." that was the end of it. Basically i wasn't sorry for what i said, i was sorry for scaring the sh1t out of her.

Say this:

I'm sorry.

That is all. Swallow your pride, allow for humility, and suddenly the world is a better place.

yea i think some of these would work. the story here is that i had an argument with a co worker and i said some nasty things though i totally think she deserves it. the only reason i feel like i have to apologise is because i have to work alongside her and i cant pretend she doesn't exist for the rest of my life. any other scenario and I would not give fvck either way

You have your answer. "She deserves it."

Don't step down if you're in the right. You're co-workers and now things will be weird? Tough s*** for her. Then she shouldn't have been such a b**** in the first place.

Unless she doesn't actually deserve it, and you're really in the wrong. If that's the case, then apologize and mean it.
