Apologies.
I hate it a lot when people are irritants and yet do not apologise.
But I hate it even more when people try apologise for something else, pretending the real shit they did to you doesn’t exist.
Let’s say, you burnt down my house in a fit of anger. Apologise for burning it down in your rage. Apologise sincerely and I’d probably be able to move past it in a while.
Don’t pretend you burnt it down by accident and never meant to do that. Don’t apologise for accidentally burning it down. I won’t accept it.
In other words, if you apologise for your malicious intent, I’d be able to forgive and move past it. Don’t pretend it didn’t exist and make a huge show of being apologetic for oh-no-i-didn’t-mean-it mistakes.
