I’ll give it a shot, “I thought I apologized already, but whatever…”
People like the benefits of apologizing but don’t want to pay the ego tax. It’s one of the singlemost powerful social rituals we have as a species but you wouldn’t know it based on how tightfisted so many apologies get.
Sure, but I think you misinterpreted my comment. Most of these examples feel completely irrelevant to whether an apology is good or not, and are perfectly fine in the majority of apologies which are not given in a shithead way.
