anxiety.

Or, you know, you could just stop saying sorry.

I take it you don’t have anxiety.

You can’t “just stop saying sorry”. You do something, something so little, like accidentally bump into someone. You feel horrible about it. Your brain starts panicking and you have trouble trying to breathe. You stutter an apology. They say it’s okay, but you accidentally do it again, and you apologize again. They just say “Aha, you can stop saying sorry.” And you feel horrible that you’ve probably made them angry or upset, so you mutter out an apology for the third stupid time, and they just say to stop saying sorry. Stop saying sorry. 

You can’t just tell someone to stop saying you’re sorry.

reblogging this one for the GOOD commentary.

Instead of “stop saying sorry!” try “oh, no need to apologise” or similar

The thing about “stop saying sorry” is that anxiety feels like you are doing everything wrong so you have to apologize for everything and when people tell you to stop, it feels like you are apologizing wrong. And everything you do is wrong. And you suck at everything. The reason people apologize so much is because their brain tells them every little thing they do is wrong and they should feel bad.
