Honestly, it's so annoying that saying "sorry" too much is frowned upon and blown up into this whole ordeal: "Instead of saying sorry, say thank you :)," or "Stop apologizing, you have nothing to be sorry for," or "I hate when people apologize too much, it's such a big indicator or self-esteem issues" blah blah blah.
It's one thing if someone's playing up their remorse specifically to guilt-trip you. But if someone just has a habit of saying "sorry" for small inconveniences, it is so much easier for you and the over-apologizer if you just say "it's okay" and MOVE THE FUCK ON. It is not a big deal, but you're making it one.
#it doesn't help that the english language uses 'sorry' regardless of severity or context#other languages have various ways to say sorry. to express regret. culpability. sympathy. acknowledgement of minor inconvenience#but 'excuse me' and 'pardon me' do not have the traction that 'sorry' does. we all know this. stop making it a huge deal

i actually get a bit annoyed with people who get a bit annoyed when people say “sorry” in response to their bad news. “why are you apologizing you didn’t do anything :/” like okay well a) you don’t know that and actually yes i am the secret architect of all your woes and have been this whole time, way to refuse to acknowledge a woman (gender neutral)’s accomplishments. and b) we’re both fluent english speakers so you know perfectly well that “sorry” isn’t always an apology and is very commonly used as an expression of general regret or sympathy. not in this case, because i have been your secret nemesis for years, meticulously plotting your every misery, but, like, in general
#as backwards as it sounds i get angry when people take issue with 'sorry'#not sorry for saying sorry. can you like. pretend i'm canadian or something#bc it'd actually affect my self esteem less if you stopped making a big fucking deal about it#idk why people who say sorry a lot are always told to say thank you instead or to stop apologizing. just say 'it's ok' and move tf on

"You actually liked me, didn't you..? What am I doing? Why do I wanna hurt you so bad? I'm supposed to be your friend— I just wanna be your friend…"

people misunderstand what ‘gifted kid’ actually means but it’s ok it’s fine it’s cool it’s good
#the newer proposed term for giftedness is asynchronous development which is so much better as exemplifying what it means#gifted kids are also asynchronous in social skill development (which tends to lag behind)#but are never gotten help for it bc academics are prioritized. as long as you're doing well in school the lack of social support is ignored#and are written off as being 'an old soul' or 'just too mature for their age'#giftedness#look into dabrowski's over excitabilities btw. there is more to giftedness than people realize

some people will just never understand that whatever skinny people have to hear is not the same as systemic fatphobia
#i also hate when ppl try to pitch it like 'well being too fat OR too skinny are BOTH bad so i judge both equally'#you know damn well you don't.#fatphobia
