u it's not an apology... and when I have said it I didn't mean it as an apology, but I had no intention to blame back or to pass it as an apology, I say that along with an explanation or clarification of the situation we're into that we're still trying to resolve
when I've done something wrong, even if I had on intention to do wrong... I still apologize directly and clearly for what I did, I do it genuinely and as quick as possible because it matters and people do matter to me as well
a true apology should have no room for doubt, you mean it or you don't
Sort of yes, sort of no.
I can be sorry you feel that way about something which makes something I've done bother you. But that's different from feeling I need to change my behaviour. Mostly I feel the former and that's why I say it. I reflect on the things I do and feel they are right and so I'll do it again. I find the true problem is people being upset by silly things, ultimately that's their damage, and I'm not apologizing for their grievances, I'm apologizing that they feel so strongly about being wrong because that it quite unfortunate that they are like that. Or it's just some weird thing about nature and they get all bothered by it as if what they feel is the only way people should be allowed to exists.
So yes, I'm apologizing to the extend to which I feel I can and no more.
No
That person is reasonably feeling that way in reaction to some cruddy thing you did to them.
It takes focus away from the wrongful action that was done, And instead attempt to blame the victim for being upset about it.
Kinda like a “yeah I did this, so what?” type of thing
I don't say sorry and shit...
But I do things which proves I still care about them even tho I was a bit harsh with them...
You scold and tell people the truth on there face even if it hurts, when you truly care for them deep down, right?

"I'm sorry you feel that way" is basically saying "I did nothing wrong you're just sensitive". It should be "I'm sorry for making you feel that way, I didn't mean for it to happen" you're actually saying you're sorry for making them upset. It's better to say because it lets the person know that you regret what you did.
No it's not a true apology you're basically saying oh well that's the way it is sorry you feel that way it's my way not your way and that's kind of stupid I think especially if the person is wrong and it also depends on the subject what's really going on that has a lot to do with it too I think
yes, it can be. One can have acted in a way one felt was good/sensible and not considered that someone took it the wrong way. However, it is best to follow up with a 'I will not do that to you again', so a change in behaviour is actually established. It is certainly not the opposite of an apology to me, it can show one cares about the other's feelings.
This is the exact line they teach in customer service when you want to empathize but insist our company has done precisely nothing wrong. Its just a sad reality of this world and I do feel sad for the situation you find yourself in. But no, I am absolutely not going to upgrade you to business!
I understand the argument, and it can also be argued that the person may be sorry you feel that way but not sorry for what they've done.
But I disagree, it's not a full apology to me, but it's part of one. Incomplete, if you will.
Kind of a lack of details to what the original incident actually was.
If it was just about a difference of opinions then it was very appropriate.
Why is what you think more correct than what my opinion is on the same subject, or vise versa.
Other than that I am in the dark.
No. To me, it’s like they are saying they truly don’t care about how you feel. Like it’s whatever to them cause they don’t care about your feelings. Yes someone has said that to me once upon a time 😩😩😩
All it really says is "I wish you didn't feel that way because I'm not going to change"
An apology is correcting yourself and fixing your mistake
No way it is a apology instead it is hurting others. You can say it is show-off for being a kind and generous person.
No, not at all. In fact, I'd only ever say it to be condensing and to annoy the person. I don't believe in apologizing if I don't actually mean it. That's a sign of submission and weakness, to me. F*ck your feelings.
No that the same as saying you are disagree with how I feel and I should feel differently.
Not a true apology, it's toxic behavior. "That you feel that way" it's pretty much gaslighting you into believing that you're feelings are the issue, not the thing he/she did to you.
Of course not. But most situations don’t require an apology. Nowadays people demand u to apologize for not being gay lol
No, it is a back handed apology, it says that the person you're apologizing to is still in the wrong.
It really depends, some people are sincere when they say it. They just don't understand how it comes across. Others are very aware of what they're doing. In those cases they're being manipulative
It isn't an apology in any way but it can be used as one if the person saying it is skilful.
whenever people say that especially a woman because majority of the time it's a woman saying that i just want to punch them in the face but next time someone says that to me i'll tell them fuck you or go fuck yourself and shove your backhanded apology insult up your ass
XD "I'm sorry that feel that way because of my actions but ur an moron for feeling that way " kinda feel like the person apologizing dosnt care to understand or see you pov.🤷
No they are just apologising for your feelings and not for what they did. Shows they still have conviction in their actions.
No. It means the person doesn't think they did something wrong.
