E22 - Why do I feel like apologising all the time?
Manage episode 447924398 series 3555828
A lifelong struggle I've had is that I have a compulsion to apologise all the time for myself. It's almost like I have to apologise pre-emptively just for being odd or weird or something, and I've come to see the role that ADHD has played in this trait since my diagnosis. In this episode I dig into what I've discovered about this frustrating aspect of my personality, and where specifically I think it comes from.
In this episode:
- How rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) plays a role in over-apologising.
- How experiences when we're young impact our self-worth.
- Why reassurance is great, but never quite sinks in.
- Calibrating where the line is between masking and self-regulation.
- How it can be difficult to unmask even with friends.
