What do you think when a friend or partner does something wrong and instead of apologizing for it they say 'im not perfect'?

[Still-alive]

They offer no apologies and anytime you point something out to them this is their go to thing to say.

It makes me think they will just do or say it again in the future

They don't take accountability for their actions/words

They lack the ability to self reflect

It's just a cop out

it's redundant to say like 'yes we all know that human beings aren't perfect, duh!'

I don't see the issue with that instead of apologizing actually

I'd think something else (what would you think?)

[provokeesmokee]

The top four all apply.

It isn't a strength to run away from your mistakes. It's cowardice and avoidance. Both are things I find deeply repulsive.

the kind of people who tend to abuse yoy

[thegreenyogi]

It is self justification but it's not done intentionally. Some people find it difficult to say sorry at least in the first instance. But I don't judge nor shame that person for it.

[Still-alive]

But if its said multiple times over and over again over time, what would you think?

[thegreenyogi]

Mostly likely it's an excuse to avoid apologising but I also think that's it's advisable to see everything in black and white and jump to conclusions. It's also comes down to your personal views or what triggers you as a person and whether or not it's something you don't like in a person to the extent that it will lead you to ultimately not wanting to deal with that person at all.

[Still-alive]

I personally can overlook it for a little bit but after doing the sane thing over and over again. Yeah I can’t deal with that.

I assume that they don't take accountability for their actions and/or words. It seems that they don't care about our relationship/friendship. I also see it as a sign of immaturity.

[Nikki1989]

It is just stating the obvious and not helping the situation.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

They will say it again in the future.

[Sparkie460]

They really don't think there was anything wrong with what they did so they are just trying to make you happy

[DeeDeeDeVour]

They're obviously unapologetic.

[Still-alive]

Does it make you think they will just do it again?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Although I voted for "They don't take accountability for their actions/words",
I also agree that "they will just do or say it again in the future."

[clampfan101]

All of the above.
