my whole life people have been very upfront about they like me for my body. it’s gotten to the point where i went on a date last night and he complimented my taste in music, and instead of finding that nice i got angry. i thought he was lying! that’s so messed up. i feel like i should call him and apologize… but what if i was right? am i overthinking it? i dunno
Often an apology is for the recipient, a way of letting them know they’ve been heard.
But sometimes the apology is just for you. Sometimes it’s a way of reminding yourself that you deserved what you were given, and you should have accepted it with grace.
Don’t prioritize being right over being happy. You’ll regret it.
