Do We Apologize Too Much?

Hello loves!

So recently I was browsing through a couple of blogs that had been recommend to me and I stumbled across this blog where the author had just done a post on whether we apologize too much or not. Now I'm going to be honest and say that I am definitely not one of those people who watch TED talks and listen to inspirational podcasts and I had never thought about writing a blog post like this. But something about this post intrigued me and I decided to give it a shot and do my own spin on this topic. So here goes nothing!

Do we apologize too much?

I don't know about other countries, but let me tell you, in the UK the people here apologize so much... Especially women.

The word sorry doesn't even mean anything more! People tend to use it in jokes or use it in banter but when people intend to use it purposefully they just say it and move on without doing anything else!

When do I tend to apologize?

The place where I see myself apologizing the most is at school. Sometimes I apologize at school when I bump into someone at the corridor or the doorway. Sometimes I apologize when I get in peoples way. Sometime I even apologize to teachers for incomplete homework!

Personally, I don't apologize every day but if you ever come across someone constantly saying sorry, stop them and say "There was no need to apologize! You haven't done anything wrong!"

When is apologizing difficult?

Sometimes apologizing can be hard. Everyone has had to apologize at some point in their life and truthfully. As humans, we hate to be wrong and when we have to admit to someone in real life that we have done something wrong can be tough! We just have to realize what we have done is wrong and live up to it.
