@lionsdenuncut: Some apologies aren’t meant to heal—they’re meant to end the conversation and escape accountability. 💔 This manipulation sounds like: ❌ “I said sorry, what more do you want?” ❌ “I already apologized—why are you still bringing it up?” ❌ “I said I was wrong, but you just keep dragging it out.” ❌ “I can never do anything right with you.” Psychologically, this is called a performative apology—a shallow expression meant to shut you down rather than make things right. It’s rooted in emotional avoidance and control disguised as remorse. The manipulator isn’t sorry for what they did—they’re sorry they’re still being held accountable. This kind of apology creates guilt in the person who was hurt. Suddenly, you’re made to feel unreasonable for needing more than just a two-second “sorry.” You begin questioning yourself: Am I asking for too much? Am I being dramatic? And just like that, your pain becomes the problem instead of their actions. To the viewers: if someone’s apology feels like pressure to move on rather than an invitation to heal, you’re not being unreasonable—you’re being emotionally manipulated. And here’s the truth: A real apology comes with understanding, accountability, and change. It doesn’t rush you to forgive. It doesn’t silence your hurt. And it doesn’t make you feel guilty for needing time, clarity, or repair. Don’t settle for an “I’m sorry” that’s only meant to make them feel better. You deserve an apology that makes you feel safe again. 💫 #relationships #MentalHealth #datingadvice #fyp #unfreezmyaccount #unfrezzmyaccount

Or.. they say.. “I’m sorry you feel that way”… that’s not an apology

I wonder how often people apologize like this because they were forced to give empty apologies as kids.

Every apology without changed behavior is manipulation

I don’t accept apologies in the form of words. Action towards change is the only apology I accept. Everything else is pretty appeasement.

I’m guilty of this one. But it’s not that I don’t want them to have the right to feel bad. It’s cause I forgive easy myself and if a women actually apologizes that enough for me and I’m over it that fast.

the problem is if you say your sorry and they don't even give you the chance to show you've changed then that's on them. And if they know your heart and that you're genuine in your word then they are just manipulating you to make you to continue feeling terrible about the situation

So if someone makes a sincere apology and the other person is trying to throw everything they have done for you in your face. & I say I apologized and I’m not going to beg for forgiveness.

But when an apology is one hundred percent sincere it's on the other person to accept it or not

Discussions like this become a tit-for-tat. Bc how many times have people apologized and yet the incident gets used as a tool of manipulation; an ace up the sleeve

okay so when does someone know how to tell when bringing up the past has gone from needing to be legitimately healed to just a manipulation to make the other person stay in a state of submission.

That’s not manipulative, that’s facts. It’s on them for depending on that same person to help them heal. That’s victim mentality

I believe Sorry is an action word. Without action words don't have meaning.

"I'm sorry for how things ended" is like saying I'm sorry the sky is blue. zero accountability.

sending this to him because “are you going to move forward or not.” and “what’s your solution to this then, I already apologized” makes me feel so insignificant

like an actual apology is like I'm sorry then you taken accountability for it and make sure it never happens again. make sure your partner is okay etc.
