Is it hard for INTJ's to apologise?

[Anonymous]

and what kinds of things would make you apologise for something, since you guys are more logical than emotional?

I am an INTJ, and I can't remember if the general profile says anything about this, but I sometimes have trouble apologising. I do it easily to strangers, because that's the polite thing, and it's not like you'll see them again so why not? That parts a bit logical, because when you weigh the factors there is no substantial reason against it. But I loathe to apologise to my friends and family unless I am actually sorry. Not just regret the act, but I have to be legitimately sorry for it. I don't if this is typical, but that's how I feel about it.

if i'm wrong, i'll apologize, if i hurt you i'll apologize unless you're hurt because of something i'm right about and you're just not taking it well.
i hate when people try to manipulate me by telling me i hurt them even though they just don't know how to deal with their own mistakes.

i dont like apologies bc to m if you're sorry you'll behave differently, otherwise its pretty much just lip service.

I am not comfortable saying im sorry. i would prefer to just improve my behavior.

Reasons why an INTJ would not apologise

1. They are correct and didn't do anything wrong. Happens a lot since when an INTJ say something they usually know what they are talking about.

2. They are not sorry about whatever it's all about. They do not apologise because "it is the right thing to do", or because the truth hurt someones "feelings" ;) INTJs are as far away from hypocrites you can get.

Reason an INTJ will apologise
1. You can logically prove with good arguments and facts that he/she was wrong.
