Hidden Codes of Conduct

Examine the habit of over-apologizing. This common behavior is often driven by anxiety, low self-esteem, or a desire to please others, rather than actual wrongdoing. Constantly saying "sorry" can be a way to avoid conflict or manage perceptions, but it may also weaken your self-worth and the power of a sincere apology when it's truly needed.
