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!

Running Foot, you have my condolences and you are right to not be sorry, grief is felt by all just in different ways.

I am not sorry that I wore a red dress to my old bosses funeral, it seemed right.

I am not sorry that people are disappointed when they actually meet me.

I am not sorry that life gave me autism, I got used to it and even if others can not?

Blessings to all who post.

I'm not sorry for being angry at people in the supermarket today who didn't have masks and didn't check in yet I've booked a vaccine I don't want to get, so my kids and small business can stop suffering.

I'm not sorry that I'm angry with my partner for having people at his house today when it's 'no visitors to your house' yet he says we don't only end this with vaccination.

I'm not sorry for being angry with my partner for not at least acknowledging my feelings when his sis' behaviour/actions affects me/us. If he cant change it at least acknowledge how it makes me feel.

CMF i hear u. Sending a hug, if you will accept it.

I'm not sorry for

Needing lifeline, even though I didnt need it for a little while. It could help me and I deserve its service.

I'm not sorry I wasn't so strong and assertive. My choices seem big because i'm unwell, and i need support now to gain confidence in moving forward. I'm not sorry Im not there yet, and that without the support, I couldn't fix certain issues in my life. I'm trying my best.

I'm not sorry for not being pretty. I spent so long caring and i just dn't care now.

I'm not sorry for being furious at people who held an engagement party on the weekend, and those that had an outdoor pub crawl both of which have now extended out lockdown till September, tighter redtrictions and caused curfew to be introduced

Seriously, how selfish can people be?

I’m not sorry for not baking that cake that is/was on my to-do list. I’d have eaten by now, & then I would have been sorry!

I’m not sorry I’m angry about the very, very pushy telco man who harangued me for 45 minutes to buy a phone I didn’t want. And then didn’t do what I rang for.

I’m not sorry I feel kooked up having to stay indoors.
