Toxic Humans Will Never Admit They’re Wrong
By Holly Riordan
You might get an apology out of someone toxic, but it won’t be a genuine one. The only time they’ll apologize is to manipulate you into giving them what they want, to trick you into believing they deserve forgiveness.
Otherwise, they are never going to admit to wrongdoing. They are never going to say I’m sorry and leave it at that. There will always be more to the sentence. They will follow up with excuses about how you can’t really blame them because it’s their ex’s fault or their parents’ fault or your fault.
They’ll always try to pin the blame on someone else because they aren’t mature enough to take responsibility for their own actions. They feel like they couldn’t possibly be in the wrong. They feel like they were forced to fuck up because of their past or current circumstances, when really, they’re fully in charge of their own decisions. They get to choose what path they take, and if they choose wrong, they should own up to it.
Of course, they will never give you the apology you deserve. If they apologize for cheating on you, they’ll throw in details about how it never would’ve happened if the other person hadn’t thrown themselves at them or if you had been more interested in sex lately or if they hadn’t ordered that extra beer at the bar.
