Why You Say Sorry Too Much (It's Not Politeness)

Do you find yourself apologizing when someone bumps into you, before asking a question, or during an awkward silence? Most people assume chronic apologizing is just good manners or extreme empathy. In reality, modern psychology reveals it is an unconscious survival reflex designed to defuse tension before conflict can even begin. In this video, Pip explores the fascinating psychological mechanisms behind over-apologizing, including the fawn trauma response, emotional hypervigilance, and the hidden need for control. You will discover how constant apologies quietly erode self-worth and train others to treat you as accountable for their moods—plus practical, grounded steps to rewire the reflex without losing your natural warmth. #Psychology #MentalHealth #PersonalGrowth
