Narcissists: Why They Rarely Apologize

Narcissists: Why They Rarely Apologize #notsorry #noempathy #narcissistabuse

My ex narc used to apologise for being a monster and then would expect me to apologise too…even though I did nothing but cry & take his abuse & did absolutely nothing to him. Then he would go around and smear me to everyone saying that I would be a good gf if I “would just be accountable”. Go figure…he wants me to be accountable for HIS abuse towards me. Ummm…WTF??? 🤨 Such a total loser!!

When they say sorry or ask for forgiveness which usually is all encompassing without ownership, it's more towards silencing your voice against them.

I've received genuine apologies from people who act like genuine narcissists, but that's where they stop. They feel bad for doing wrong but don't address the root of their problematic behaviour or try to make proper amends towards a healthy reconciliation. Instead, they often wanna apologise and pick up where they left off as if trust is instantly restored after a series of prolonged violations. Shallow people, shallow behaviour .

My Narc ex used to say sorry. It didn't mean much.

I would apologize for very specific things and then she would say it back "in sorry too". If I asked what she was sorry about she would say don't push it.

Your always so gracious and you don't show hate to anyone . You help without making anyone feel bad instead motivate in a pleasant way . One day when I die I will say once more in the end is my beginning . I need a good nights rest ☺.

They don't say "sorry " because they aren't sorry

[lozannevanniekerk]

Even with a apology if someone's heart is not in the right place you will not be forgiven . There is no use in trying .

Accurate. My ex used me for a place to stay and keep his pets primarily I think.

My mom did what I call a scream rage apology over the phone. Hilarious lol. It’s funny to me now.

"Sorry for everything I put you through" 🧐

Dr. Ramani says we (narc survivors) should say those thing which you've mentioned about sorry you feel that way and that's your perception as a way to combat that narcissist when they accuse us or start fights. Does that make us narcissists?

[TalLeGal]

The examples you gave aren’t even partial apologies or an apology of any kind. That is using the word “sorry” in a way that allows the N to avoid accountability and STILL puts it right back on their victim.
