I guess I have a bad habit of saying "sorry" for things that I don't even have control over. I've noticed that some people really don't like it.
Why is that?
Thanks.
Apologizing for things you can't control is a bit annoying...since it's not your fault. Saying sorry all the time will make your sorriness come off as insincere...kind of like people who always say "I love you." There was a girl where I used to work who was always messing up a lot and she had these puppy eyes every time accompanied with "I"m so sorry; I didn't know..." The thing is, she was ALWAYS messing up on something because she wasn't paying attention and because she knew she could get away with it if she does her whole "sorry" routine. Anyway, it got really annoying and eventually, people stopped listening to her or believing anything that comes out of her mouth. I think people who are overly nice sometimes are just digging themselves into a hole and they come off more fake/insincere than anyone else. Not saying this is you but this is why people hate it when anyone uses a phrase or word too much.
I completely agree with Ryan1, it losses it's meaning and becomes annoying when said excessively in situations where it doesn't apply especially if you have no control over whatever you said sorry for.
my guess is that you shouldn't have to apologize for who you are or your existence. People shouldn't get mad about you saying it, though...it's probably a hard habit to break.
Yeah, the worst is when somebody says...
"you say sorry a lot."
and typically ill reply...
"i know, sorry about that."
Thats happened to me a few times.
idk... its a very tough habit to break.
well, if you say it too much it seems like you don't mean it. I guess I kind of have that problem in relationships if I do somtin wrong or even in friendships ill say sorry a little too much and the girl will probly just not sorry at all.
some people just can't admit they did anything wrong and have a hard time saying there sorry . they just don't want to admit there wrong even if they were

Because you say it so much it loses its meaning and it gets annoying. Kinda like when somebody asks a question and another person says huh then answers it without the first person repeating it. It just kinda gets like a bs word that gets annoying. Do you know what I mean? sorry if it doesn't make sense. But some people are just plain weird and are hard to understand. Just make sure whenever you say it make sure the other person knows its for real and try to break your habit of saying it.
No, that totally makes sense.
I don't know... its just when people tell me sad things, I usually will say something like "oh, gosh, I'm sorry to hear that." and its totally sincere.
Im working on it, though.
I just don't want people to think that I DONT care about/ for them... because I really do. I just can't help it. : (
Some people think that if you say sorry all the time then when you say it (and you really mean it) that it's insincere.
It’s just an excuse to make everything okay and for everything to go back to normal again. You’re not really apologetic, you’re just abusing the word so that you don’t have to deal with real situations. Grow up and learn to make up for what you’ve done instead of just simply saying “sorry.”
bc saying it too much makes it annoying and also the other person may feel pitied and even worse when you would think sorry would make it better...
