What do you never have to apologize for but still do? Let’s figure it out together! Have you ever thought that you apologize too often? If not, take care of yourself, and you will be surprised at how often you ask for forgiveness.

1. For emotions

“Sorry, but I’m angry”, “Sorry, you disappointed me”, “Sorry, I’m very sad/scared/embarrassed” and blah blah blah blah. We try so hard to please others that we literally can’t help but apologize for what is normal. Yes, yes, girlfriend, it is normal to experience emotions, and you should not apologize for them. Especially if you are experiencing strong negative emotions.

You have the right to be out of sorts, and no one should deprive you of that.

2. Asking for help

It doesn’t matter if you’re asking for directions to the museum, or if you’re asking for some other kind of help. You should not ask for forgiveness for this, because this is also normal, and there is nothing wrong with needing the help of other people, especially your family, friends, and relatives.

3. For the past

The past is the past and cannot be changed. It’s like asking for forgiveness for your eye color or height. Well, if you can’t change your past or your old deeds – what can you do?

If someone reproaches you, says “but you should have…” and so on, don’t you dare apologize for it. Mentioning old deeds is an attempt to make you feel guilty again and again, especially if the situation is not closed. Apologies will not change anything, it is much better to do everything so that old mistakes do not happen again.

4. For other people’s mistakes

Or for something that is out of your control. For example, the courier couldn’t find your house, and you started apologizing for the location, traffic jams, and everything else. You do not have to ask for forgiveness for something that did not depend on you in any way.

5. For not wanting to keep in touch

If you do not want to communicate with someone or meet a guy, you should not ask for forgiveness for this. Firstly, because you are a free person, and you have the right not to communicate with anyone. And secondly, it is also normal, healthy behavior to cut off communication with those you do not like.

Also a very important point:

You don’t have to apologize for not wanting to have sex . People don’t always want sex, it’s also normal for a healthy person. And if you feel guilty before your partner for this, you should seek help from a psychologist.

6. For justice

Do you know the famous phrase “ the truth is not offended ”? The thing is, they don’t apologize for the truth. When a friend asks you if the dress she’s trying on suits her, tell the truth and don’t try to smooth things over with an apology. The truth is not always painful, and if you know how to speak correctly, you can not even apologize.

7. For your “marital status”

If you are in a relationship and you are okay, then everything is fine. And you don’t have to apologize to anyone for that. If you are married and you like everything, then everything is fine too. But it’s also great when you’re alone and you enjoy it.

Personal life is personal, so as not to apologize to anyone for it. How you live and with whom you live is only your business.

8. For appearance

How you look and how you dress is also only your business and no one’s business. Therefore, if someone tries to shame you for your appearance, the way you dress or just gives out style advice when they were not asked, you have every right not only not to apologize, but also to remind the insolent person that this is none of his business.
