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!

Hello David 'n' goliath,
Thank you for this wonderful thread:
1. I'm not sorry that we had to isolate at home & stay safe, making others safe also
2. I'm not sorry that sometimes I'm not always understood, clear or precise; (it's always clear in one's head)
3. I'm not sorry that we have the freedom to express own options, in our own way.
Thanks as this is my first post 🙂

i'm not sorry for having my ownways of doing things
I'm not sorry for watching trashy tv sometimes, and finding it soothing. I'm not sorry for not being highbrow.
I'm not sorry for being hurt a bit by someones comment. I'm not sorry for feeling suspicious of a strange gift. I'm not sorry for standing up for myself and loving myself more than my abusers would like.

welcome to the forums. Thanks for making your first post here and sharing your thoughts.
I relate to your no 2 , I am not sorry as I tend to confuse people as I know what I want to say but I can ramble.
I am not sorry for being tired for many reasons that some don’t see or understand
I am not sorry for standing up for myself
I am not sorry for still being affected from a traumatic event 19 months ago.
Thanks again DnG for this thread. Hope you are feeling better.

Hi Quirky - i relate to that
i'm always tired and unsatisfied with the quality of sleep
i'm bothered by a tooth ache today, i'm not sorry if i have to leave my dentist to find someone who can see me sooner. im also not sorry if i decie to wait it out just bcuse i want to see my own dentist. not sorry fo rmaking inconsistent choices and deciding what feels comfy for me on the day
i'm not sorry for barely excercising all year, and now starting to get into it, which seemingly should make me feel bad, but hey, they timing wasn't right
i'm not sorry for not wanting to speak to certain difficult ppl on the phone, so opting for email today to make me feel safer.
i'm not sorry for finding this thread comforting
i'm not sorry for eating foods that i barely need to cook because im low on energy
i'm not sorry for needing lots and lots of help with my mental health and for leaning into that and acceptig it.

i'm not sorry for not being decisive when i'm stressed, maybe everything was a little overwhelming for me at that time and it was extra hard to focus- in.
i'm not sorry for sometimes relying on others when i'm at my lowest
i'm not sorry for puttng my tv on loud
i'm not sorry for not feeling awesome atm
