2 things to stop apologizing for: 

1. The way you’re feeling (ex. “Sorry for feeling sad, I just want to talk”) 
2. “Bothering” others. If you need something from someone else, just ask firmly and be considerate. 

Apologizing isn’t your enemy, but it can get in the way of developing your self-confidence. 

Sincerely, 

A former over-apologizer
