something to remember:
- guilt-tripping is not an apology (eg. “sorry i’m so terrible”)
- giving excuses is not an apology (eg. “sorry my life sucks”)
- threats are not an apology (eg. continually suggesting to just end the friendship instead of properly apologising)
- behaving in a way that makes you the focus, instead of the person you hurt, is not an apology
- self-destructive behaviour is not an apology
- harassing people is not an apology
