Do women apologize too much? A mentor of mine once suggested subtle ways to stop apologizing. Instead of "Sorry I'm late", she told me to use ️"Thank you for your patience". I try not to overthink it and there's probably a balance to strike. https://warpcast.com/nonlinear.eth/0xfe3e7060

I wrote about this a while ago and think about it so often! I also notice myself saying “sorry” instead of “excuse me” 🤦♀️ https://medium.com/fearless-she-wrote/why-is-apologizing-our-first-instinct-93ec3a656c9b

Wow, phenomenal writing, Marisa. What’s crazy is as I read along, I could hear myself reacting the same way and not even realizing how wrong saying “No, sorry” is. Being polite is so ingrained in me. 😖 Awareness is the first step to change, thx for writing and sharing this. 🫶

Aw thank you! And I think being polite is so ingrained in all women - such a product of conditioning. We must “be nice”
