Re: Automatically assume things are my fault

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I read the topic line and the first part of the first post (ehhhhh…medication hasn’t gotten me to where I can sustain attention for very long, but it has worked on my motivation/initiative to a large degree, which….unfortunately? results in me having the motivation to post to threads that I haven’t had the sustained attention to read all of?) (ehhhh…hee hee…ehhh…*embarrassed*)

But, ummmmm….

I feel this same way, regarding the apologizing and sensitivity and thin-skinned-ed-ness.

Yesterday at work I apologized to a co-worker when she, of her own accord and volition, knocked into a chair as she walked by.

I had nothing to do with her knocking into the chair: I was standing feet away, I hadn’t placed the chair there, I hadn’t in any way directed her path in a way to cause her to knock into the chair, but, as soon as she did it, I automatically, and, I feel, it really was *so* automatic that it really indicates, just, my level of apologizing-ness, I said “I’m sorry.” to her.

She didnt’ respond to the apology. I wondered if she even noticed it or wondered what I was apologizing for.
