If you are taking space in the way, you should probably apologize. If you didn’t bring anything and are mooching, you should probably apologize. If you are expressing yourself by being a belligerent ass, you should probably apologize. If you are asserting yourself with no one challenging (actual or perceived), you should probably apologize. If you are being selfish by putting yourself first, you should probably apologize. If you are being different to be confrontational, you should probably apologize. If you are disappointing other by failing expectations, you should probably apologize. If being sad and upset is disrupting the festivities, you should probably apologize.

Sorry, but us Canadians apologize for just about everything.

Really fucking relevant for life in general.

I was in an abusive relationship for 3 years and by the end I was so fucked up that I walked on egg shells and literally apologized for every single thing I did or didn’t do, both to her and my friends. Finally, after the nightmare ended, my closest friends had to spend almost 2 years just reconditioning me to not apologize for everything all the time.

I told them I was sorry for doing that. /s
