I personally think its more a personality thing as many of us feel remorse and can summon up the courage to apologize later.
What's the most embarrassing for me? Definitly random crying in public places like on the bus, the delusions (thank goodness they're rare), and treating loved ones like shyt when I have no mouth guard.

My T never told me it was a personality trait....I'm not sure. See I think I know what u mean in reference to the 2 ppl that never apologize. My step-dad is like that. He is uncomfortable apologizing and acts like nothing happened. Some ppl will go buy the person they have wronged a gift (my mom).
It might be a personality thing and it is heightened by my bipolar 1 (extreme mania). Anytime I do something to someone, toward or attempt to I feel justified because they provoke me. Period. I do ask explain to family what my triggers are. However they tend to not retain info pertaining to me very well.
I have attempted to have a conscience by apologizing but I stopped trying. My oldest daughter would get mad bc she could tell I did not mean it. She was correct. She hit a trigger after being told it was one...so she got the outcome. I went for a disability hearing and the judge I had asked me "do u not have any remorse"? I truthfully answered the question. No. The killer part is I didn't use to be this why!!! I have been concerned abt it and mentioned it to my T, and pdoc. My bad did mean to type a book. LOL
