Stop Trying to Get People With BPD or NPD to Apologize
Briefly

from Psychology Today1 week ago
Families dealing with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) often waste time and energy seeking sincere apologies that are unlikely to come. Healthy individuals apologize when they recognize wrongdoings, but those with BPD and NPD typically resist sincere apologies due to feelings of weakness associated with admitting fault. Rather than pursuing apologies, it is more effective to emphasize and encourage constructive behavior changes that can lead to better outcomes and less conflict.
Individuals with symptoms of personality disorders often resist apologizing for unwanted outcomes, and when they do apologize, it tends to be insincere.
