Did you have second thoughts on apologizing for past stuff you did bc of their current behavior? How did you handle it.
One time someone apologized to me. And I apologized to them as well. Because I thought it would be a good way of making peace. (And I'm very introspective and self-critical, so I can always find something to apologize about.). But then afterwards I regretted it. Because they went right back to their horrible behavior. The lesson I took from that is I think you just can't ever apologize to a narcissist. Because then they see that as weakness and it inspires them to attack you again. If they ever come to their senses and have a moment of sobriety, you just have to let it play out and not interfere. Accept their apology and acknowledge their acknowledgement of their own wrongdoing, without enabling them by diverting their attention onto yourself.

OMG yes! I've said and done many things out of ignorance. After processing and realizing that my reactions were inappropriate or wrong, I apologized no matter what, even if it was years later. It bothers me when I act like a wanker.
I mean, how much value will the apology hold if they’re a repeat offender? Then it’ll feel like you’re apologizing for their bad behavior when you think about it. If you were very out of line or disrespectful then sure, own up to it and apologize. But it’s useless if you’re only going to feel that way again in the near future based on who they are and how they handle things.

Tried to say sorry but they were to bitchy to even let me say anything so I walked away and said what I needed to for me

I wanted to apologize to people I hurt their feelings and to this day we went our own ways nothing more we can do, but I swear no way will I ever do this to any person.
If i did something wrong than i'll apologize later no matter how they act, after that i'll just leave with a comfort mind...
Usually most loose contact within 20 years. I only have 8 friends that I have been friends with over 40 years and all of us all still keep in contact with
I still apologized but pointed out that they were wrong this time.
Kind of. I have a friend that has been unemployed for a few years. He's gotten more and more hostile, to the point that I just stopped talking to him. I occasionally talk to his brother and he keeps me abreast of what he's up to. I offered to help him get a job with the firm I worked for last time I talked to him and he just got angry with me.
Yes. Whatever their current behavior was I could understand
"... being a wanker..." I love it! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
If i was wrong, i was wrong. Period.
