Apologizing Too Much: How Saying Sorry Too Much is Dangerous

Do you find yourself apologizing too much? Are you over apologizing? Are you apologize all the time? Well, you're in the right place, in this video, I'll discuss the dangers of apologizing all the time, and why people do it.

I was inspired by my clients who say, "I apologize all the time" or "I keep apologizing all the time" or "I'm always saying sorry". If sounds like you, then you'll want to watch this video.

Apologizing too much shares the same danger as any negative self-talk. Well unless you live in Canada where this is just a "saying". Apologizing all the time doesn't seem like it's self-talk least of all negative self talk at all... but it is!

When you say out loud, "I'm sorry," you're affirming to the universe and to yourself that you are a sorry person. Anything you say about yourself that's prefaced with 'I am' becomes a part of your identity.

Saying sorry too much is just a habit that can be eliminated.

This is super accurate, I’m really self conscious, shy and I think I’m like this because I was bullied maybe? Now it’s a habit, I don’t want to annoy people :(

[vampedvids]

I’m just very anti social and have social anxiety. I get nervous and I don’t like bothering people.

[cmthoughts]

I apologize too much because that’s how I was raised. As a child even if you not wrong u had to

[AnxiousMama]

I am def one of those who apologizes to much, because I want to be liked!

[Kimmehface]

I apologize constantly and need to stop. But I feel bad all the time and feel like I bother everyone.

[lexxy]

*someone accidentally bumps into me and says nothing*
Me: sorry

[krystinmcdonald]

I feel like I’m not worth it and if I don’t apologize I’m disappointing people and being rude

[dunnadidit]

I'm pretty sure you'd have to beat the Canadian out of me to get me to stop saying sorry. But I'll keep this in mind for sure 😜

[carolinepatras]

Thank you for this video! I've acquired a large amount of social anxiety and sesitivity and am constantly apologizing due to bullying and loneliness in school settings. I always am afraid that I'm doing something wrong, and I overanalyze every word and facial expression people give me. I'm attempting to gain back my confidence after finally getting over my fear of medication.

We all need compassion because at the end of the humans are wretched. There's a reason we need a savior to shed his blood on the cross. He had mercy on us so we must do the same.

[angelterry]

Wow very interesting perspective on why people apologize too much. Thanks for pointing that out as well as your input on ways to change the habit of doing so. I definitely fall in this category, it started as a child, it just seemed to be the polite thing to do. But I can see how this can backfire with the negative words being spoken against oneself.

[shopgirlshoediva]

i just found out that i say sorry too much because i'm putting myself in their position and think "ah, if i was her i'd like an apology". I just realised that if i was wronged, i would want the person to say sorry until they're annoyed at themselves. I'm scared of myself now

[bethelshiloh]

It’s actually annoying. I have a dear friend that I genuinely love, but her constant apologizing wears me out. I wish she understood that without me having to tell her.

[deniseverpeut]

Omg this is me ! My friend sent this to me because I always say” I’m sorry” When I was in school one of my teachers made be write “I’m sorry” 3000 times to get me to stop doing it lol 😂 how embarrassing 🙊 I know now it was because at the time I was dealing with emotional abuse now that I’m detached from that dynamic I can work on not apologizing. Thank you 😊

[lexiswanson]

I can't STAND how me this and now it's gotten to the point that there's double meaning in everything others do. It's made me a very socially awkward person and I always feel I'm annoying even the nicest people.

[Chandemic]

Yep, I am a person who says sorry all the time. Only to my husband and its not like he is critical. I just want him to be happy with the things I do (he always is), it's just me and it's all in my own head

[akaboo]

Over apologizing sometimes turns to F you... once you're frustrated enough. But at the end of the day it's a result of trauma.

[kateonyango]

I am always saying sorry even when I haven’t done anything wrong but for keeping people waiting even shortly on call, text or meeting now I know why and I will replace it with “Thank you for always being patient”.

[benmcnally]

So true I have no selfworth or confidence

[aileenpetrie]

Thank you for this video, .
You know it's a problem when someone tells you that you have to stop saying sorry and you want to say you're sorry for saying you're sorry.
Aaargh, will try saying thank you instead.
