This is bad advice. Apologizing when you did nothing wrong is not only annoying, but it leads to people taking advantage and sometimes abusing you.

I agree. This is not advice for enemies.

In a relationship though, going on assuming you’re always right and never wrong is probably on the opposite spectrum of this.

Assuming you’re always right is not the same as always apologizing when you haven’t done anything wrong.

Why assume you haven’t done anything wrong?

Who said you have to assume you’ve done nothing wrong? I’m just saying not to apologize until you’ve become aware that you’ve done something wrong.

When you say “sorry you’re having a bad day.” Is that admission of guilt?

I think this is less about being right or wrong, and more about a “self emptying” to make room for someone else.

A self emptying doesn’t sound like a good thing.

I think it’s actually a big component of when we try to make sense of “love” or “connection”.

No

It’s not advice for anyone

All Apologies 😄
