I've noticed a tendency with members here, especially newcomers, that come on here and APOLOGIZE! I probably apologized for my first 10 posts or so. We apologize for taking up too much space, taking up too much of someone's time, for writing too much. It's a consistent thing that I see every time I visit this site. Please don't get me wrong, because I'm not saying that this is a bad thing, it just seems to be one of those "uniting" characteristics that many of us share. It's almost a recognizable sign for me when someone starts their spiel by apologizing, and it honestly makes sense. It is a common characteristic to feel not worthy and especially not worthy of sharing one's feelings.

Has anyone else made a mental note of this?
