When I was learning English, and naturally making mistakes while on it, I used to apoligize so much to my teacher for being wrong.

Until during an exam review she told me, "Do not apologize over your mistakes here, you're learning, and it's ok to make mistakes".
And I assure you, I was this "." Close to say, "sorry for saying sorry that much".
It was then when I realized I had a problem.

Thank you i need to stop SAYING sorry for everything

My therapist had me do an experiment where for 24 hours, I wasn’t allowed to say sorry. After the 24 hrs, I could go and apologize for things I genuinely felt needed an apology. I realized after that 24 hours that I had the impulse to apologize A LOT but looking back, I realized not a single one of those things needed to be apologized for. Really put things into perspective for me!

Some people apologize for silly stuff but never apologize when they really do something that hurts

Been dealing with this a lot lately and people say I don’t care about them for telling them that I’m feeling overstimulated or for trusting my intuition when my red flags go off.

For expressing my feelings, and for crying. These are the two main things I apologize for the most. These are the two things that I limit myself from, and that I constantly pick myself apart for doing. I think it really stems from childhood trauma. I was damned if I did communicate my feelings, but I was damned if I didn’t communicate my feelings.

I say sorry for things all the time. I especially related with saying sorry for taking care of myself first, since I’ve had people who would get mad and make me feel bad for spending time on my needs that it made me feel like it wasn’t worth it. Luckily, I’m no longer friends with those people, but their damage on my self care has been difficult to mend. I’m glad knowing other people have a similar experience of constantly saying sorry, makes me feel like I’m not alone

Once, I threw up at my aunts house. It was because the food that we had gotten from a certain place was undercooked and nobody a realized. I ended up v0m1t1ng on their carpet, and I couldn’t stop apologizing. I got home and continued to v0m1t, still apologizing. My mom sat me down and told me I should never have to apologize for something I can’t control. That changed me.

I feel this SO much. I've only recently been learning not to beat myself up over everything and that I don't _have_ to apologize for everything.

It's so much better and more freeing now.

Thanks psych I’m now seeing why everyone I talk to thinks that I need to cut my family out of my life

[missyTL]

That's me I apologize for everything.. .. because dealing with abuse in my upbringing I always was treated like it was my fault because I was the Scapegoat

This was helpful. I’m 36 years old, and when I don’t answer my brother’s calls (he’s 38) cause I need me time, I get screamed at and told that he would never not answer a family member’s call. Just makes me feel like garbage.

As a person who apologizes for everything, I’m sorry


Fr tho, one day someone told me to stop saying too much sorry and I said I’m sorry for that
