Never Trust People Who Apologize Too Fast

No sooner had I mentioned about the missing report than Jeff apologized. You must have dealt with people who will apologize immediately even without internalizing the complaint made. This is why you should not accept these apologies and never trust those who apologize too fast.

1.      The apology is impulsive and you can never be sure if the offender even took time to understand the complaint made. There are chances that the same mistake will be repeated and the same apology will be filed.

2.      People who apologize too fast are not emotionally stable so they avoid being blamed by saying “sorry” as fast as possible. They always avoid being reprimanded and never learn from their mistakes.

3.      People who are in a hurry to say “sorry” avoid taking responsibility of the mistakes they have made and will be fast to also pass on the blame to  others. Do not trust this apology and also be careful when assigning responsibilities to these people.

4.      They want to avoid paying back the damages. They know the soft spot is saying “sorry” so they will say it as quickly as possible to avoid paying back in case of any damages that need to be repaid.

It can be mistaken for humility but it is not. Humility involves taking responsibility which this is not. Never trust… because they are not to be trusted!
