It makes you look less confident and more unsure.
Not to mention it is so annoying.
myself included.
Think about what you're going to say before you say it and stick with that choice. You can explain it further if it doesn't come out right but stop apologizing about everything. It doesn't look good on you.
Think about it as an outsider hearing that constantly.
It's annoying isn't it?
I do it too. When someone bumps into me I apologize and then I am like wait a minute I don't need to apologize. It was not even my fault. Get it together!!!
It happens automatically.
Without giving it much thought we apologize. Why? Because we're nice. We're good people. We think it's necessary.
Have you noticed women apologize much more easily and more often than men?
If it doesn't make a difference or isn't going to then don't say it.
Try to go an entire day without apologizing and see if it makes a difference for you.
I have to constantly remind myself because it's difficult to break a habit but it can be done.
When you should apologize:
1.When you forget your child at school
2. When you can't remember your significant others birthday or your anniversary
3. When you forget to turn in an assignment at work or at school
4. When you're late
5. When you say something offensive or racist.
6. When you're rude to someone who doesn't deserve it.
Assess the situation. Does it need an apology?
Don't bother apologizing if it isn't genuine. People can see right through that.
