“Never be sorry” isn’t a sign of strenght, is a sign of being a teen

r/

Hi. Many times in my life I’ve met or heard people saying stuff like “Never say sorry” like it’s a badge of honor. In my opinion instead if you fuck up and don’t apologize, you are a nothing and instantly lose my respect. Being sorry for a mistake you made is a sign of maturity and people that avoid doing it should be marginalized and esposed.

    “God is the only one who may judge me” is another popular variation, often said exactly by the people who had created a lot of hurt around them.

    Same with “No Regrets.”

    Accountability is strength.

    What this saying actually means is to not engage in behavior and/or say things that you can’t stand behind and justify to even yourself which ultimately means that you would need to apologize for what you did and/or what you said. It’s never a bad idea for one to keep their impulses under control.

    Only apologise if you’re wrong

    True. But i also believe that you should only apologize for the things that you think you did wrong. Someone being mad at you is not enough of a reason.

    Exactly. I can’t tell you how utterly pathetic people sound when they spin a bunch of excuses to avoid accountability.
