Are you constantly saying “sorry” at work even when you haven’t done anything wrong? You apologize for speaking up in meetings, for sending a second email, or for simply existing in someone’s path. What feels like being polite or humble might actually be undermining your authority, confidence, and even career growth. Today, we’re digging into why over-apologizing happens (especially for women and people socialized to keep the peace), what the research says, and exactly what to say instead so you sound confident and kind, not cold or arrogant.
