Holding yourself accountable for the mistakes youāve made, and the people youāve hurt definitely requires strong inner strength, that unfortunately not all of us are blessed with. The sad thing is that no matter what happens in life, certain people will never attempt to put things right, or make amends. If you know someone who is completely incapable of making a mea culpa and who is completely unconcerned by the prospects of making things right, itās time for you to consider whether they have narcissistic traits.
>>> Discover 6 things we should stop apologizing for
Narcissists donāt apologize becauseā¦
The 6 explanations below will give you some extra insights into their bad behavior!
1) They lack empathy
The truth is, narcissists find it impossible to put themselves in other peopleās shoes, and therefore fail to understand how intense and hurtful emotions can actually be. Plus, they are simply clueless when it comes to being sympathetic and comforting, so, if you are friends with one, you probably shouldnāt go to them for support after a breakup, for example.
2) They believe that ignorance equals bliss
When they choose to ignore their victimās pain, they can therefore wash their hands of all responsibility, and simply act like nothing has happened. In their minds, failing to acknowledge their wrongdoings helps legitimize their behavior and subsequent choices.
3) They believe that time makes you forget
Because they believe themselves to be superior beings in every sense of the word, narcissists actually think that people are so weak in the face of their manipulation, that they will forget their wickedness.
4) They project the fault onto others
Youāve no doubt already figured it out, but these folks always remain completely in denial with regard to accountability and instead opt to blame their victims when trouble arises. Thatās right, gaslighting is definitely one of their not-so-secret weapons.
5) They donāt believe people deserve their time
Why on earth would they waste their time trying to apologize to people who they consider as being below them?
6) They have every intention of repeating their behavior
Now, this is probably the most hard-hitting reason of all, and confirms the cycle of toxicity. Despite their promises to change, people with this personality disorder can never fully put a stop to their inherent desires to hurt and control others.
Editorās opinion - Not apologizing gives them powerThe bottom line is that narcissists are constantly on the lookout for ways to keep the upper hand, and overtly refusing to say sorry even when they know theyāve done something wrong is a perfect example of the lengths theyāll go to. Itās also a way for them to prevent you from moving on, and more importantly to stunt the healing process. š¤ Understand yourself, accept yourself, be happy... Letās do it here and now! #BornToBeMe |
