There was a time in my life when I would say "sorry" for anything and everything. I wasn't a doormat, I was wall to wall carpeting.

Today I don't see myself as being that person....for a while I think I went way to the other extreme at least in the sense that I made sure that if something wasn't mine to apologize for that the person who owned it was properly informed as to their ownership of the said deed.

Now I think that I own what is mine to own and try not to let the rest of it make me postal......I do think that I have the habit of putting myself in th other guys shoes sometimes to the point of leaving myself out of the picture completely and I have to remember I count too...but no more apologizing for the world for me.

I never blame myself for what another is responsible for anymore, and as a result I am depression free, I recommend all here to try it, it works, and wonderfully so.

This is an outstanding post because it sums up depression in a nutshell. This is what depressed people inadvertantly do, and the reason why it goes unseen is because generally speaking there is a time delay from childhood before it effects us as adults, and i believe that that time delay comes during our rebellious years which acts as an ignorance period, a time whereby we forget about our unhappy childhood abusive pasts, hence our inability to understand why it is all of a sudden we are feeling the way we are, and why we fail to properly comprehend that it is indeed all relative to our childhood upbringings.

I repeat, this is an outstanding post.

I do. Somehow I even feel guilty about things that are not my fault.

i do all the time, but then i feel like i mess up all the time so i really do feel the need to say sorry. my bf hates it cos i say it to him all the time, n wen he asks me why all i can say is i dont know.
im used to bein the 1 ppl blame wen things go wrong tho.

I am opposite of that....I don't say sorry enough
