In the movie ''You Again'', a woman finds out her brother is about to marry the girl that mercilessly bullied her in HS. Both ladies are now in their mid-late 20's.
She confronts the bully. The bully belittles her for being stuck in the past. She keeps demanding an apology and even says ''Hey I wanted a real apology and I DESERVED one''.
Even if you were wronged, if you need to demand an apology to get it... have you become an entitled person by then?

The ''and I deserved one'' sounds entitlement to me. Also you're going to get a fake apology by then.

I personally wouldn't call it entitlement but more a person who is still hurt and can't let go the past and like the bully said "living in the past".
I can understand that she wants an apologize tho but I do see it like the bully in this case
I would say the bully should just add an apologize to make the other person feel better and probably help letting go
Yet the sad part is the former bully never reached out to you to apologize, it didn't come out from them willingly... they were by the victim to apologize.
I get the feeling that an apology you had to demand or pressure from them will be a fake, insincere apology by then. Who wants that?
I think any time the person has to force it out of you and nag/pressure you.. it won't be sincere when you finally get it. That's sad. It's sad that they would've never apologized on their own free will.
It will be fake but also nearly no bully will apologize by you
Isn't it worse when it's a fake apology then getting no apology at all? What's the type of admitting the wrong when none of the words coming out of the apology is real? If it's not from the heart, it lacks meaning, it has no meaning at all.
If they don't apologize they're a jerk but if they deliver a fake apology it's like they're not just being a jerk but also a liar.
My father’s girlfriend demands apologies for things that don’t even effect her.
For example, she once found out that my ex had left work early to go look at houses he wanted to buy and picked me up to go with him.
She came to me snd told me she demanded that he apologize for not telling her that he planned to leave work early and went on a rant about how he was a worthless bum for not staying the entire day at work.
On Christmas, I apparently didn’t say thankyou loud enough, so she sent my father to my room to demand I walk upstairs and apologize to her.
I think this behavior is a direct symptom of narcissism.
No, not in this instance.
The issue is the apology they get after demanding it will then be faked and forced. Even if you were a victim of bullying, is that really the apology you would've wanted, an insincere one (knowing they would've never reached out to apologize on their on free will)?
Good point, and no I wouldn't.
Thanks. What would you have done differently if you were that woman in the You Again movie? If your sibling was about your marry your former HS bully, you confront said bully and they're nor remorseful at all and they're still downplaying what they did to you?
**not**
Not a thing.
