will err on the side of only apologizing when I actually believe I should apologize, not when someone else believes I should apologize.
Sibling dearest and I have gotten into constant arguments about my lack of parenting skills because I stupidly taught the kids to apologise when they were actually sorry. Now they do actually apologise when they are genuinely sorry and want to make amends/reparations or feel bad about something (like when you say "sorry" because you're "sorry"/sad that something has happened to someone but it's otherwise no one's fault).
Must be the brain glitches, I didn't realise we were actually supposed to be saying sorry purely to make people feel better x_x
