They can be taught how to apologize, but they can never actually Feel sorry

[MissBColeman]

I’ve even been told they were offended they had to apologize. Once I heard that I left them alone immediately.

[lightiz_biekie]

A narcissist apology is meaningless ❤❤

[EtherealRis]

“Don’t apologize for my feelings. My feelings are my own responsibility. Apologize for what you said/did.”

[IzabelaWaniek-ix]

Spot on. And once the narcissist utters the words I am sorry it equals to the slate is clean- nothing has happened, I can go on abusing you.

“Changed behavior is the only real apology. Otherwise it’s just manipulation.” Maranda Pleasant

“I’m sorry you feel that way” ❌
“I’m sorry I made you feel that way” ✅

[tresboujay]

My favorite is “I’m sorry for whatever it is you think I did.”

[shamsjacobs]

No apologies, no compliments, no empathy.

Therapy is were the narcissistic personality learns how to apologise so they can manipulate better

[megminor]

“I can’t help how you feel” was used a lot when I said he made me feel crazy.

[SpankeynMe]

Narcissistic people can learn the words of a real apology, but they never feel empathy or true remorse.

[annamadden]

I wouldn’t still be here if it wasn’t for Dr Ramani’s videos and books. I didn’t have words for what I was experiencing, now I know what I’m dealing with. In the middle of leaving a 6 year hell hole, I listen to these videos to help me keep moving forward and away to hopefully happiness.

[bernitacenteno]

Go to therapy without the narcissist, PLEASE, FOR YOURSELF ONLY.

[Andreas-ghis]

Narcissists know how to apologize, but not when...

[kimdurig]

If they give you an apology you can believe it is meaningless

[TheRealLarissa]

Yep
"I'm sorry if you thought that was hurtful."
I've heard that one too ..

[lt]

You mean how a narcissist creates the illusion of apologizing without really doing it

[leeannurban]

“I’m sorry you feel that way”
It’s also a way to not take responsibility for someone else’s feelings, for someone like me, who was raised to be a people pleaser and would take on the responsibility of other peoples feelings, using this phrase has been incredibly empowering for me
It Means that I recognize how they feel however I am not responsible for how they feel. I am only responsible for my actions and the way that I treat others.

[jeffreydeeds]

Having once been married to a narcissist, my experience is that a narcissist doesn't ever need to apologize brcause they can't see themselves being wrong.
