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 writing 8000 words today to my best male friend.
I am not sorry, for not being sorry.
But my knees/thighs/calves are still quaking.

not sorry for wasting money on silly happy gifts, hemp oil for my big old dogs' legs, a disney furry squishy ball face for my tiny dog, a silly new tea mug for the hubby and black love heart sunglasses for me.
not sorry my boss called in and had to answered the door in a wet full body wetsuit because i was floating in the bath like a happy hippo.
not sorry that life is full of surprises like Forrest Gump's mum said ' life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

Sleepy21 said:i'm not sorry for sometimes relying on others when i'm at my lowest
Really appreciate you sharing this, because I always feel bad about being needy when I’m low. But it’s so ok.
Im not sorry I spent the day in bed again.
I’m not sorry I have feelings.
Im not sorry I haven’t got my sh* together. It’s a socially constructed concept anyway and I’m not here for it.

Im not sorry for trusting myself more than others
I'm not sorry for telling the truth
im not sorry for having a hard day
i'm not sorry for owning my own mind
im not sorry for anxiety and tears, and only wanting to share them with ppl who have proven themselves to me and worked their way into my heart
im not sorry for being a bit inconsistent at times
im not sorry for needing a supportive friend
im not sorry for being well and successful at the moment, and caring more about my recovery than anything much else.

i'm not sorry for complaining about bad parts of the service i received in the public health system, even though the other parts were good
i'm not sorry i cant transition easily to new things durng this pandemic, and that i really need a break from pressure now
i'm not sorry that ppl who struggle with MH but won't admit it - that i can't help them. I'm not sorry that they are askign me for something impossible that I cant deliver - to help without helping, to answer without answering, to listen without listening, to just solve things wihtout having an open discussion about them - i'm not sorry to say that is impossible.
