I'm Sorry

Are you having a bad day? I’m sorry! You got in an accident that I had nothing to do with? I’m Sorry! Someone else hurt your feelings? I’m sorry about that too!

I am so sorry for all the things that I have no business apologizing for. I am the sorriest person you have ever met. I am even sorry for being this sorry. I feel like I have to apologize for everything! Britney Spears flashing her c-section scar, I’m sorry. Global Warming, I am really sorry about that too. A pregnant Nicole Richie – I wasn’t responsible in any way, but gosh darn it, I am so sorry.

I willingly apologize for anything that might even possibly offend someone else. I am really sorry, but it is an annoying habit that I have.

I am such a sorry person that my family now charges me 25 cents every time I apologize for something that doesn’t need an apology. It’s like the swear jar, but for sorry little asses like me. Is electric shock therapy too cliché?

For gods sake, I am so busy tiptoeing around people. It’s not like my apologizing cures the ills of idiots in the world in any shape or manner. I hate that about myself, I do nothing wrong for the most part, and I am sorry for everything, so sorry that I have become sorry.

I am now taking suggestions of how to express empathy without apologizing. Any ideas?

I am sorry if I offended anyone.

I sometimes use "I feel your pain" and "What a horriable thing to have happen to you" when I find myself saying sorry too much.
