I have for a long time internalized a practice where I never apologize for having said something wrong or hurtful. At the very best I can say something like, 'I'm sorry that you got hurt because of what I said', but never admit that I said something wrong or apologize for having said what I said.
I think the thought process behind it is a mix of different things. Like I'm not supposed to crawl like I don't deserve my space, and apologize for being me. When I say something, I stand for it. If you can't take it, you're not worth it. I don't know, there might be several reasons to be like that. It comes from a place of not wanting to show weakness. To appear strong and flawless. To express that the problem is not me, it is you. And perhaps this has a good function in certain situations. But it also makes me come across as arrogant and insensitive in other situations
I may have a problem reading social settings, and I would very much value your input regarding which settings you would say uncompromising and arrogant is a good option, and in what settings being sensitive and apologize would be better.
Please mention both trivial and radical settings. Awareness is good in both.
