Three things you aren't sorry about today...

I am not sorry for opening this thread. I am not sorry for Inviting everyone to have a go at it! I am not sorry for helping people practicing to not say sorry too much!

Idea, a thread were we aren't sorry about hate, ingratitude, being safe, thinking about revenge and acting for fair restoration.

In this thread people are encouraged to practice avoiding saying sorry in a moral and friendly way.

I am not sorry that I stand up for rights about children.

I am not sorry that I spilt the milk, but I will clean it up right now.

Other forms we might take are less about letting go of sorry, and more about using what you are sorry about as motivation.

I make no apologies for feeling hate about what is happening to children in detention centres and I'm going to write a letter about it!

I refuse to be sorry for any one who wears hot red revealing shorts and a boob tube to a funeral and has been told they cannot come inside.

I am not sorry that I said “fair go mate!” when someone elses child hurt my finger.

I am not sorry that I broke up with my abusive partner, so that I can be safer.

I am not sorry that you got drunk because you believe I told my best friend I like the movie One flew over the cuckoos nest, when I’ve previously told you I don’t like it.

I am not sorry for changing my mind, I have new information now and am making a better decision now than back then.

When anger rises, I will not apologise for being angry, because the thing that makes me angry is against the laws of Australia.

Or how about.
I will not be sorry about plotting a morally fair a legal revenge upon my abuser.

I am not sorry for thinking about or wanting to kill someone that I will never meet and have no real intentions of taking action to harm them or anyone else.

I cannot apologise for feeling hateful towards the people who purposefully and wilfully cause direct and severe harm to the elderly.

I’m not sorry for feeling excitement about the potential of this thread not being helpful, because I hope and pray that peoples actions about my inspiration will be entirely helpful!

I am not sorry for being a member of beyond blue forums for approximately 3552 hours.

I am grateful for being a member of bb for over a single day.

Hi david'n'goliath,

I really love this thread. Sometimes thinking about these things are therapy for me.

1. I'm not sorry that I said no to webinars and training opportunities because even though I want to attend I don't have the energy for it right now.

2. I'm not sorry that I had to reschedule a catch up because I wanted everyone to stay safe during lockdown.

3. I'm not sorry for throwing so much negative feedback at BB for the forums because I want to advocate for members here and help make changes for the better.

Hi again romantic_thi3f.

I am not sorry that I welcome you to this thread! party hard.

cool idea:

i'm not sorry for sending a follow-up to someone who hasnt been super in touch with me

i'm not sorry for losing my car keys because i was overtired. maybe i needed a break

i'm not sorry for fastforwarding things that distress me

i'm not sorry for asking my friend if she'd got my message

i'm not sorry for posting genuine questions on BB even though they include hard-hitting ones because they are in defence of vulnerable ppl's rights

i'm not sorry for being upset and angry over harm to others and myself

decision to do a 'friend' cull & stick to it; zero friends for me - but zero is better than thinking you have friends when they don't care about you. Thinking of it as a clean slate lol. Making space for ppl (better still animals) that value me.

stayed in bed for 2 days - do regret it, but acknowledge the fact I am struggling big time at the moment with lockdown alone, and seeing previous point of actually seeing my life for what it is - I am doing the best I can.

can't think of anymore??

Thx Sleepy21!

I'm not sorry for posting genuine answers on BB even though they include hard-hitting answers/questions because they are in defence of vulnerable peoples rights.

I am not sorry for missing the mark of hardness or gentleness for utter perfect optimality.

I am not sorry a work mate is unable to understand my words, I'm doing my best.
