Generally a weasel apology would be:

"I'm sorry If I made someone feel bad"

Not

"I am sorry. I feel terrible that I made someone else feel terrible."

Corey's apology did feel nicer, but I don't think that Steve's was a bad apology.

In his "apology", Steve says three times that he was "accidentally" an asshole. That doesn't sound very sincere.
He also talks more about his feelings than the person he's apologizing to!
