I'm loving all the Canadians in this thread.

If you're a kind person, there's always something to apologize for. I was taught a long time ago that it was OK to apologize, but that you should add " for..." to the end and if it still sounds OK then you should say it.

"I'm sorry for hurting your feelings." "I'm sorry that you don't enjoy the meal that I prepared for the family." "I'm sorry your face looks like an anus." "I'm sorry that you're too stupid to understand that I'm not complimenting you." ...and so on. This took an unexpected turn.

PS: I'll apologize in most confrontations as a way to de-escalate the situation.
