We all know people who just can’t apologize — well, here’s why | (ted.com)
And some good quotes:
"Be an example. Show kindness to unkind people. Forgive people who don't deserve it. Love unconditionally. Your actions always reflect who you are." - Anon
'The narcissist never apologies. If they do say sorry, it is not a sincere apology and is usually followed by a blame shifting statement... "I am sorry but if you did not that then I wouldn't have to do what I did". So, an apology from them is not an apology it is a gesture to shift the blame back to you.' - Anon
'Prideful people will never see the difference that one apology can make. Just say "I'm Sorry." Things we should have learned in kindergarten.' - Adonis Lenzy
"Stay away from NEVER Wrong and NEVER apologizing kind of people." - Andral mason
"You gotta understand that some people never really grow. They never learn their lesson. They never recognize their mistakes, they never acknowledge their faults, they never admit they were in the wrong. You will never receive and apology from them, and you will never see their behavior change." - Anon
"Apologizing doesn't always mean you're wrong and the other person is right. It means you value your relationship more than your ego." - Michael Baisden
"The lack of an apology says more about the other person's character than it does about your worth." - Anon
Shitty people will always be shitty people! They will never change. Don't think you can shame them into caring or becoming better people, it is a waste of time, they will never care and never grow!

You don't ever have to feel guilty about
REMOVING TOXIC PEOPLE FROM YOUR LIFE.
It doesn't matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance - you don't have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It's one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and "continues" to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.
