@drgavingcook: This is among the most unethical life hacks I've ever encountered, but it needs to be known about and discussed more openly The life hack is simple: never apologize. This is something that manipulators do basically naturally and, of course, pathologically. In a more honorable and more just world, apologizing is a good thing. For a number of reasons, however, most people think that being forced to apologize is an act of weakness. It almost never ever ever works out in the person who apologizes a favor - it only reinforces the memory of their supposed transgression, which often isn't a transgression at all, and it makes the people to whom they apologize like them less. There's a lot of nuance to this, including quite a bit of cultural variation, but a general rule is to only apologize to people who have earned it. Either by being good people, which is my personal favorite first-pass test, or for a stricter test, people that you would say you love. I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me. #SelfImprovement #communication #motivation #unethicallifehacks #lies

This is really close to owning up your faults/mistakes. I really disrespect the supervisors who fail to take accountability.

You missed a button

AchKeinBockMehr :

I learned this in corporate. Apologies mean you admit fault and can be rightfully blamed. Not apologizing or even being defiant makes them question themselves even if it is your fault. You break a glass and apologize = "okay next time be careful!". You break a glass and do not apologize "hm you know maybe we should have bought plastic cups"

It’s not weak to apologise.

Trairetham :

Great article by Daniel Finklestein in the Times on this a few years back. In politics, sorry is not used. It defines the mistake. In politics, it’s better to not apologise, because then what do you not apologise for
