A mean person might say something insincere or sarcastic when they don't really mean "I'm sorry." Here are some examples:
- "I'm sorry you're so sensitive and can't handle a joke."
- "I guess I'm sorry if you took it the wrong way."
- "I'm sorry, but you brought this upon yourself."
- "I'm sorry you're upset, but it's not my fault."
- "I'm sorry if you feel that way, but it's not my problem."
- "I'm sorry, but you're just overreacting as usual."
- "I'm sorry, but you misunderstood what I said."
- "I'm sorry you're so easily offended."
- "I'm sorry, but you're just being too sensitive about this."
- "I'm sorry if you can't handle the truth."
In these examples, the person is using the phrase "I'm sorry" as a means of dismissing the other person's feelings or justifying their own hurtful behavior rather than genuinely apologizing. It's a manipulative way of avoiding responsibility and not taking accountability for their actions.
