The thing that is starting to bug me about this, seen in the recent Lauer and Simmons apologies, is the need to tie it back to themselves. Maybe it relates to the powerful narcissist thing we’ve been talking about, but my god, I’m sick of hearing about these people talk about whatever journey to being a better person they’re about to embark on. It’s so phoney and contrived.
The focus of any statement where you admit to wrong doing should be the apology, on top of that, maybe some recognition that you need to be better. But I don’t care if it’s now your “full time job” or that you are now going to focus on your not-for-profit and spend time “learning, healing, and listening.”
These people are awful, it’s so obviously fake and still just about them.
