The Hidden Habits of People Who Never Say Sorry—Can You Spot Them?
7) They joke about it to brush it off
Some people avoid apologizing by turning the whole thing into a joke.
You bring up something that hurt you, and instead of addressing it seriously, they laugh it off with a sarcastic comment or a playful jab—“Oh wow, guess I’m the worst person ever, huh?” or “Relax, it’s not like I ruined your life.”
It might seem harmless at first, but this tactic is actually a way to dodge responsibility.
By making light of the situation, they shift the focus away from the real issue and onto your reaction. And if you push back? Suddenly, you’re the one who can’t take a joke.
