"How dare you not accept my apology, I'll show you!" 🤣
This has happened to me so many times. Idiots or even former friends who got cross with me only to come back to apologize. But I never have any of it. First of all, I know they're not even the least bit sorry anyway. Second, even if they were, they can learn from their mistakes so they don't do it again with any other friends they might have. But again, they never mean anything with their apologies. They prove it every time by trying to get back at me for turning down their apology like the geniuses they are. The last one even tried guilt-tripping me immediately after I rejected their BS apology by telling how it didn't help with their anxiety. Lmao!
I've apologized several times for either misjudging someone terribly or for just being dumb and/or shitty to them when they didn't deserve it. I'm very thankful that each person I have apologized to has graciously accepted it and harbored no hard feelings toward me, even though they would have been perfectly justified for doing so. But if they did refuse my apology and straight up told me to get lost, while I would feel even worse about it, I most certainly wouldn't try to make them feel bad for that. Nor would I harbor any ill will toward them! I would respect their wishes and stay out of their way from then on. Because I actually mean it when I sorry, FFS!
This should really go without saying, but it really seems like a lot of people need this lesson... An apology is supposed to be about the person you're apologizing to, not you. Provided, you're being sincere about it, of course. If your main concern is your own personal gratification rather than hoping to make up with the person you hurt, then don't even bother. When you make it even a little bit about yourself, it just shows that you're not really sorry. Then you wonder why they refused your apology? It's because you're a POS and would probably just end up doing it again. Good on anyone else who turns down your useless apologies. They're smart people who see you for what you really are.
