Cool beans, Carl. But are you gonna try to do better or nah? Are you going to try to figure out why you just did the thing you did thus prevent yourself from doing the same thing again later? Or is trying to make yourself feel better as far as you’re gonna go?
“I didn’t mean to” or “that’s not really me” are in no way synonymous with “I’m sorry” or “I’ll try to do better.” Hell, if we wanna get really specific, “I’m sorry” doesn’t inherently include a want of growth or change…there’s difference in apologizing because its protocols and apologizing and meaning it.
I’m so sick of people doing hurtful or offensive shit and saying they didn’t mean to and nothing else…as if that’s supposed to fix things.
