Why You Say Sorry For Things You Didn't Do (And Can't Stop)

Описание: You say sorry when someone bumps into you. You apologise for taking up space in a conversation. You say it before anyone has accused you of anything and sometimes before you've even finished working out whether you did something wrong.
This is not a politeness habit. It is not a personality quirk. The people who do this most consistently share a specific psychological history — and the apology is the most visible surface of something that runs considerably deeper.
This video breaks down exactly where compulsive apologising comes from, what it is actually doing for your nervous system, and why understanding that changes how you move through it.
If you have ever apologised for something and known in the same moment that you had nothing to apologise for — this is worth understanding.
