Apologizing for No Reason: My Learned Habit
When I was growing up, I was taught to always say “sorry.” It was considered polite and a way to avoid getting noticed or punished. I did my best to be a good girl and stay out of trouble. Despite my efforts, the adults around me would still find something wrong and ask me to apologize. I didn’t realize I could stand up for myself because no one taught me that.

Lovely… it … keeps you safe, cherish it. Well said ✅
Oh no why shouldn’t you be posting? What did i miss?? Great one! Skin must be loved :) Though when I feel like I’m uncomfortable in mine, it’s a bit harder…Fun with supreme insecurities, lol! 😂
Simply lovely. Well done.
I absolutely love this, Paul. Thank you for writing this!
I love other people's skin too. It protects them. Until it doesn't. Because I would have skinned them alive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I dunno Paul. I’m not sure I can trust you anymore lol… I read this as a threat, like cherish your skin, might not have it for much longer. 🙀 Sorry I’m just being a turd.. watched Silence of the lambs again a few weeks back! Sorry!!!!!
