Had an old roommate flame me in his journal, he’d rushed out leaving the page open and I saw my name when I went in his room to drop something off.
He said some incredibly valid shit about me being condescending and it changed my outlook on my whole life. Nobody lies to their journal.
For me when somebody apologizes a lot it feels as though there is a subtle belief that I am the type of person who would be annoyed by the things being apologized for. As though their apology implies that I am an impatient or otherwise short fused person.
It’s important to me that I am patient and forgiving so excessive apologies subtly make me feel like I may be projecting some impatience. Ironically the very activity of constant apologies does lead me to be slightly impatient, quite the conundrum.
