I agree, a bad apology is worse than no apology. It’s like rubbing salt in the wound.

Tone is very important. You can say something, but if you do not have the right tone, everyone knows you are not sorry.

A “but” in an apology is not an apology. I’m not perfect and make mistakes and am sure I have thrown a “but” in one, but I try not to and to be very sincere when I apologize.

I know I’ve been guilty of using “but” when apologizing before. I try really hard not to, though.

Definitely agree. I can’t stand it when someone tries to apologize but ends up continuing the argument because they use it as another attempt to correct what I said or did with a “but”. Drives me nuts!
