They might admit "Okay, I slipped up", but they never actually use the word sorry?

A person having trouble saying the word ''sorry'' tends to have ego issues or too much pride. Sometimes it's hard saying that word.

That's what I was thinking. What would I call someone who never apologizes? (Some people never even say "I slipped up".). A narcissist.

Arrogant. Egotistical. Pompous. Conceited. Self-important. Imperious. Having a superiority complex.

When it comes to someone who never admits to a wrong let alone says sorry...I wouldn't call them. I'd do everything to avoid/limit my time with them. There might be something not right up there because everyone missteps and mistakes at one point or another.



As for those who do admit when they are in the wrong from time to time, okay. I'll be a little more at ease with them.

Someone who's comfortable in their own skin never has a problem apologizing for what they've done...or haven't done. They don't qualify their apologies with weasel words. ("I'm so sorry I was late. I hope I haven't ruined our day together. What would you like to do first?")

Someone who never grew up will give a half-hearted apology ("I'm sorry you feel that way. I see it differently.") that isn't really an apology at all. Or they'll water it down with excuses ("I'm sorry if I didn't come pick you up from the hospital but I had something really important to do at work.") Meanwhile you're sitting out at the curb in a wheelchair, waiting... waiting...

I'd say they only regret having been caught, but have no remorse about having screwed over someone else.

I'll bet they're not too good at saying "thank you" either, as if everything they get is deserved rather than something that someone has done for them.
