Personality: "I'm Sorry"

Personality: “I’m Sorry”

“Hey man!”

“Oh hey, sorry.”

“Uh… its cool… so what’s up?”

“Oh yeah sorry I’m just playing video games.”

“Bro it’s cool. What game?”

“Assassins Creed, sorry I forgot to tell you which game my bad bro.”

“Dude its cool. You don’t have to apologize.”

“Sorry.”

“…Really?”

            Okay so maybe it was a slight exaggeration but I’ve had conversations particularly close to that and it’s really annoying. I understand you feel like you messed up or something but please, you don’t have to apologize for everything. Asking for forgiveness in every single sentence makes people like me want to accept it less and less every time you say it.

            You all know what I’m talking about, and there is almost no way you guys don’t know this kind of person in your own personal lives that act like this. They. Are. Everywhere. I almost kind of feel bad for them whenever I see them because a lot of times they look lost. I will admit however I have seen confident (males mostly) talk this way and always have a smile on their face. This form of the personality (codename: I’m Sorry) makes it that much more annoying. Because they don’t ever seem to grasp the process that THEY HAVE NOTHING TO BE SORRY FOR! This is not always the case and sometimes these people have a good reason and only start this habit when they genuinely mess up and have feel obligated to take responsibility and honor the fact that it was their fault. In that scenario I totally understand why someone would feel that way and I would sometimes act like this on occasion. Not nearly as much as a certain friend of mine (who will remain anonymous so let’s just give them a fake unrealistic name), my friend Jeff will always apologize, even for the smallest of things and quite frankly I wish he would stop. Even when he should be sorry I wish he wouldn't apologize because he has apologized so much in the past I think it might be his most said word ever besides either mom or dad.

            To those of you who find this an actual problem in your daily lives, we around you understand your thought process, but it is totally okay to mess up. As long as you recognize it and move on. You don’t have to apologize because we know you feel bad already. As always guys, love talking to you. Peace!
