Psychology says people who apologize constantly without realizing it are more damaged than they appear - because they internalize blame and absorb conflict, a survival response from childhood, which never switches off even when they're safe - Silicon Canals

Excessive apologizing often stems from childhood experiences of mistreatment and can lead to chronic self-blame in adulthood.

I'm 37 and I just caught myself apologizing to a waiter for sending back the wrong order - and I realized I've been managing other people's discomfort my entire adult life and calling it good manners - Silicon Canals

Apologizing for others' mistakes reflects a deeper pattern of avoiding discomfort and maintaining harmony, often at the expense of one's own voice.
