I don't think anyone really thinks that people have to apologize for who they are. Well, unless they're sexist/racist/homophobic or something - then they should be apologizing for that!
No one says that you HAVE to conform with the standards. But if you want the things that are standard, then you sorta have to learn to work with the system. If you didn't want the "standard" stuff, you'd be a lot happier.
No one has ever apologized to me either - nor anyone else I know. And yes - I DID learn to conform. But you know what? I wasn't happy with who I was or what my life was like. So I made the changes that I wanted to, and didn't change the things I didn't want to. I'm a lot happier with who I am, because I can achieve the things I want.
Just... expecting or wanting the world to apologize? You will always be miserable, because that will never happen.
