Today we're talking about bad apologies.
These are the ones that walk like an apology.
They talk like an apology, but they're far from it.
How do you react?
And what do you say?
All that more coming up.

When someone gives you a bad apology, it's one of the most frustrating experiences because you want them to apologize,
and they know that you want them to apologize, and they know that they could.
They could say the words, and they might know deep down that they should,
but they won't for lots of reasons.
Maybe this person has narcissistic tendencies.
Maybe this person is a very defensive behavior at the moment.
And let's be honest, there's times where I just don't feel like apologizing right now.
Maybe I will, but I don't feel like it in the moment.
And maybe that's the same way with that other person.
How do you handle a bad apology?
