I lost my wife to cancer five years ago after 53 years living together. Now I am old and alone and have no one to ask me what was I thinking when I bring home five ripe bananas. Oh, how I would love to hear that now. On my next trip to the grocery store I’m going to buy five ripe bananas just so I can imagine her telling me how silly I had been. God, how I miss that now.

My mother kicked me out when I was 12 because she lost her iPod. After 15 yrs I decided to confront her and the closest I got to an apology was "I'm sorry for everything that you believe I've done". The harm of this delusion is beyond words and I really hope that people can start to realize this and accept their accountability in their actions.

@Jamie Wooder I sincerely wish men and women would sincerely apologize when they need to and take gender out of it altogether. It's not a woman thing or a man thing, it's a human being thing. And an apology should never include an "if you" or a "but you." It's a matter of kindness and taking responsibility for our own behavior and transgressions towards others.

@salmaumar5750 both parties don't always have something to be sorry for. An apology where you expect the other person to also apologize isn't a real apology. It can be a manipulative way to get someone who isn't at fault to apologize for reacting to being abused, aka reactive abuse. Reactive abuse is a natural way of responding to being treated poorly. You should only apologize when you're really sorry and know what you're saying sorry for, not to get the other person to admit wrong-doing.

But I've seen it that if a narcissist gets broken down. For a breath period of time. You can see really that it's not personal, they're just so scared and they don't actually want to hurt you. But it's probably circumstance based whether you ever get to see this. Because it's my family and my mum is a narcissist, not a sociopath.

The man called to confess in detail how he had cheated on me when we were dating. He was trying to absolve himself while telling me something hurtful that I might have never known.

I think that whether you perceive apologies as helpful, depends a lot on what you want. If you want revenge, for that person to hurt or suffer, humiliate or realize they aren't worthy of the title "human", then there prob is no apology that would suffice. If you want to forge a relationship, change an opinion, correct a mistake, then you'll probably be more receptive. I dread the day that ppl stop talking, and accept separation, and hate. It's what I see happening a lot, with some showing acceptance, tolerance, and empathy. Prob most people are a mix of all at different times. There really is, scientifically anyway, only 1 current race of human: homosapien.

Do praise of God then souls coprate in life and connect with love. Moody and stubborn behaviour brings fear in life. Praise of God can do anything or everything in life. God is our inner beauty.

So what after you wrote an honest letter? What if they just don't care about it,they don't give a s*** and they will never give you the apology you deserve? I did hurt someone. Someone who I love...and it was not my intention at all. But I couldn't tell him my fears because it always turned to be an argument, so I decided not to. I decided I'm gonna try to fix myself and see what's going on, why I'm stressed. He said I ignored him. Altough I said I just need to find it out and I need to calm down. He didn't care about my letter, he didn't care that I talk with an open heart. He was talking very nastily to me and he just cut the contact. So what do I have left? Letting go? Just accept it, right?

You Wright the letter/note to let them now how you feel and how you do not put up with what they said or did. Your words should be of dignity and honosty. If that is thé case you are true to yourself and Know you did the right thing. Thé fact that you don't expect anything back makes you have the power. This is what i believe thé inside out process of hapinnes. If however you Wright a letter or note expecting a specific respons or apology you give away your power. So only wait (give yourself time) until you are ready to share what you think when you don't expect anything back. That's where your true power is

Having extensive experience with narcissists, I did not get the impression that the teacher was displaying narcissistic traits. It's apparent he isn't one because he responded with empathy and an apology. Something a narcissist would not do.

No she empowered herself

How on earth did you interpret what that teacher said as “narcissism”?? It’s obvious by his 2nd response that he meant well with the 1st one, but had phrased his sentiments awkwardly and in an unintentionally hurtful way. A narcissist would not have responded to her letter as positively as he did.

Do you think it's a good idea to apologize to a professor via an email or it's better to confront her?

I would not apologize for that as well. I would just consume the bananas within a day and a half.

why not send a letter with just 5 words "I feel contempt towards you."

You probably feel ashamed and that’s a bad feeling. Apologize.

Im noticing a lot of female stereotypes are being brought up in society as if they are male stereotypes. I cant remember the last time a women apologized to me. Even an ex that cheated somehow made ME feel guilty. Whatever though. Already 5 minutes in so i’ll finish it.

The "he" in the title was used ironically, mockingly. She was making the point that "we" all tend to look to the other person for making a situation right , or better, with an apology; that is giving away your power, acting as a victim. And in all honesty, women tend to act as victims more than men, particularly in relationships. So, if you think of it in those terms, the title was confronting women. And, the example she used was of herself acting hurtfully. It was she, Lerner, who owed the apology to her husband -- and she gave it, with humor. BTW, her book which this talk is based on is titled, "Why Won't You Apologize: Healing Big Betrayals and Everyday Hurts". Not Why Won't He Apologize: Healing Big Betrayals and Everyday Hurts.

The therapist for Margo sure wasn't up to the task.
