“Sorry” has a job. It helps us repair things when we’ve hurt someone, made a mistake, or caused a problem.
But sometimes it shows up when there’s nothing to repair.
“Sorry, I have a question.”
“Sorry, I can’t.”
Notice it this week when “sorry” shows up—not to correct it or judge it — just to ask yourself whether it needed to be there.
Save this one for the next time you catch yourself apologizing automatically.
