[Poll] Do you find yourself saying "sorry" a lot?

[UninformedLover]

I do it all the time. I even apologize for things that are not my fault or I have no control over. It's a bad habit and I don't like it.

 

[BooGirl]

Sorry, I do

 

[TheDevilsAngel]

Yes always and it has been driving me crazy, it's almost like a first reaction if I say something wrong or get something wrong.... I just want to be liked, I feel I am seeking aprovel.... And yes I'm going to apologise for ranting on abit.. I am sorry!

[arainynight]

Never unless I've done something that requires it.

 

[NonsenseTrash]

Kind of. I dont explicitly say "sorry" a lot. But, i do feel guilty most of the time for everything.

 

[cosmicpixiedust]

I constantly say that I'm sorry. It drives everyone around me insane, they're always like "STOP SAYING YOU'RE SORRY!" OR "It's not your fault!" I apologize for anything and everything.

 

[Broken Chimera]

I used to, but I'm done apologizing for things I haven't done or because someone is offended by my beliefs.

 

[GoodPersonEffed]

I wonder if Canadians notice when one of them doesn't say "sorry"?

Do they get angry about it, and then quickly follow it up with "sorry"?

 

[TheEndof]

I used to, especially when I was in my teens. I don't really bother anymore because it never mattered. People are going to be upset no matter what I say or don't say. I don't have the energy to apologize anymore.

 

[TAW122]

I do, and partially by habit. Sometimes I hate myself for it because it makes me appear meek, weak, and passive, easily pushed around and people get away with mistreating me easier. Growing up, I was never the really assertive type, the type that would automatically command respect and dignity with my presence alone. I guess you could consider it as some internal vibe that I give off and I don't know if it's just my appearance or the way I talk, or what not, if so, well then I can't help it much sadly. I just don't have a "don't mess with me" look or a "respect me or else" kind of energy, I wished I did though. This makes me feel like I want to CTB, but I digress.

 

[Life sucks]

I do because of habits and probably remnants of past abuse and submissiveness. Unfortunately, it looks like it made whoever I talk to a monster against me because they don't appreciate being kind and pure and think its weakness that should be exploited.

But honestly I don't like others to feel bad or be hurt so I say sorry but nobody understands and instead they hurt me.

Sorry but I'll say this, fuck life and humans.

 

[Kikoo Loool]

Yes and no: I say it a lot to my SS friend but scarcely to other people.

 

[Backwood_tilt]

Yes, but I live in Canada.

 

[Midnight-rain]

Used to say it a fuck ton, nowadays I've toned it down.

 

[moshimoshi]

I say sorry way too much to the point I annoy people lol, I really can't help it TwT I say sorry for saying sorry for saying sorry. I think I've gotten better about it though

 

[sammiechzxv]

Always have. People get annoyed with how apologetic I am

 

[EvisceratedJester]

Yeah, it's a bad habit.

 

[untothedepths]

I do, and I usually mean it or its because I'm being polite. It's been 'beaten' into me. It startles me and makes me uncomfortable when people suddenly get snippy and tell me to stop it. I get where they are coming from but it always sounds harsh. AKA, I'm a pussy.

 

[Meteora]

Yes, I basically appologize for being alive, for breathing other peoples air.

 

[rozeske]

Yes, all the time. Someone mentioned "I apologise so much I say sorry to a chair when I bump in to it" I never related to anything more.

 

[ConfusedClouds]

Too much. And I've also been called out on it by others telling me not to.

In some ways I feel guilty as an apology should be an acknowledgement of a mistake you'll aim not to repeat (or something along those lines). Yet I keep messing people around. So it all becomes even more meaningless

 

[sserafim]

Yeah because people always find fault with me. My mom always criticizes and nags me. I don't really mean my apologies though. I think I've just been conditioned to say them. I want to avoid conflict because I don't like people getting mad at me. I just find it annoying tbh

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I apologize all the time but I do not believe doing so makes me any less of a burden or an evil person. No amount of being sorry can fix what I've broken.

 

[WoNkEy_DoNkEy]

I say sorry way too much to the point I annoy people lol, I really can't help it TwT I say sorry for saying sorry for saying sorry. I think I've gotten better about it though

@soulkitty how about being sorry for dragging a 4yr old thread out of the cobwebs

Yes, all the time. Someone mentioned "I apologise so much I say sorry to a chair when I bump in to it" I never related to anything more.

@rozeske damn right you should. What did the chair ever do to you?

 

[derpyderpins]

Always have, never really stopped. Same reason as all my issues.

 

[SexyIncél]

Sucks in martial arts training when I punch someone in the head, my instinct is to say "Sorry!" Because I hate the idea of brain damage. That's the thing you think with!

Had to think in terms of being in a wood shop, and I'm just breaking apart objects

(Rant: I really hate how many don't teach punching mechanics on punching bags & such. They're blasting each other with nerf guns, instead of building a whip-like kinetic chain)
