“Thanks but you really didn’t have to do that.” “I wanted to.” “I’m really sorry you had to help me.” “It’s fine.” “Sorry.” “Stop apologizing.” “I know I’m a huge inconvenience.” “You weren’t before but you’re rapidly becoming one.”

The other side is equally bad. “Thanks so much. You’re the best.” “You’re welcome.” “Wow what a great friend. I don’t know what I did to deserve you in my life. Thank you so much.” “Don’t worry about it.” “Thank you. I’m gonna blog about you.” “I just held the door, dude.”

Learn to express gratitude once. Be succinct yet appreciative. Then move on. If it’s appropriate to mention it one time later to show you remember, limit yourself to one. “Thank you, I really appreciate this kindness.” This is all that’s required. Do not tire your loved ones.

It's so sad to see someone constantly apologize. It's like they feel their life is unjustified and that in itself is unjust in a way.

One reason I see people behaving that way, is because at some point a nasty person used kindness as a weapon against them. They learn to fear kindness. Fixing the problem means finding the root cause, which is more difficult than apologizing differently. But they need to grow.

Precisely.

I'm so sorry that I did this and I'll never apologize like that ever again.
