One of the side effects of my relationship with XABF, and my childhood growing up, is that I apologize too much.
In fact, I even got a lecture from my therapist about this, about how I apologize to him way too much, so he suspects I do it to everyone, and that he suggests I work really hard at stopping this. (Easier said than done.) His conclusion is that I am actually over-responsible. (Is anyone surprised by this? Ha!)
Likewise, though, when people apologize to me, about anything, it doesn't mean anything to me, because those words have been all used up already.
I am a work in progress.
