Telling people ‘no apologies’ when they apologize for something they don’t need to apologize for
A friend ‘belatedly’ replying to a text (who cares it’s a text!!!), a coworker reaching out for help or to ask a question, etc. stop apologizing 🫵😡

i’ve started to thank people instead. like instead of “sorry for the late reply,” i say “thanks for your patience.” the reason i’d typically apologize is so that the other person knows i value them, but that gets lost in the self deprecation of the apology. “thanks for bumping this message“ “thanks for understanding” etc all say the same thing without that added level of insecurity projected!

thanking instead of apologizing
as a (recovering) people pleaser, i am guilty of over apologizing. for many people, including myself, the word “sorry” has become a filler word, rather than a sincere expression of regret. of course apologies are necessary in certain situations, but we don’t need to apologize for simply taking up space. i am slowly letting “sorry for the inconvenience” become “thank you for your time,” “sorry for rambling” become “thank you for giving me a safe space,” etc.

stop saying sorry
not like ever, or when you truly offend someone. but in regular day to day interactions i often hear too many people that make minor mistake or lead a sentence with “sorry …“ - for some people its like a filler word. 99% of the time they did nothing wrong in the first place. stop apologizing and be you bro!

ENDING SENTENCES WITH ELLIPSES LIKE A BOOMER
It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

Never changing
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
