3: “I’m sorry.”
Suppose this isn’t your first rodeo with narcissists, in that case, you’ll know that saying “sorry” or” at the very least” being sincere in their apology isn’t going to be an option. Narcissists are anything but pure; they are people who don’t keep to their word. If you expect them to say they’re sorry, you might be waiting for something that’s not coming. If it does, there is a big possibility of them doing it just to appease you and regain control in an argument.
Narcissists don’t ever feel guilty about their actions. For someone to truthfully repent their actions, they must have the right amount of guilt to process the feeling of regret and do an apology. But, unfortunately, narcissists lack that ability, so saying “I’m sorry” is just too far away from the narcissist’s mind.
4. Their mistakes.
Why do you think narcissists hate saying I’m sorry? Well, for one, saying “I’m sorry” means you are admitting your mistakes or actions, but narcissists don’t believe they ever make a mistake or pretend to do so. They won’t accept any criticisms except their own, and for them, no other idea is accurate but theirs. Narcissists can’t handle losing face so they will hold on until people lose interest and believe they didn’t make a mistake. The narcissist will die before they can freely admit all the wrongdoings, but as long as blood flows through their veins, their list of failures remains in their heads and will not go out anytime soon.
5: “I forgive you.”
For narcissists, forgiving someone is as hard as asking for forgiveness. Apologizing isn’t the strongest suit, but neither is forgiveness. Saying “I forgive you” is close to saying “I love you” for narcissists, but there is no forgiveness in the narcissist’s handbooks, only punishments. And forgiving someone’s sins is giving importance to someone other than themselves, which contradicts the whole point of narcissism.
Narcissists don’t think like us and do not treasure and care for someone like us. Even if narcissists are close to understanding the meaning of Love, forgiveness is not an option if the one they love has upset them. Narcissists believe in the saying: “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. What someone owes from them, they need to return to them. Forgiveness does not exist in the world of narcissists, appeasing them is your only way of getting out of trouble.
