I find I say sorry for everything, and it's hard to determine when you actually need to say you're sorry and when you're not.

I'm Sorry, Poopy Butt | I'M SORRY YOU STEPPED IN MY BUSINESS. | image tagged in i'm sorry poopy butt | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Sometimes when we say the we are sorry, we do not mean it as an apology but rather as sympathy for a person's situation. When someone suffers a loss or has a problem we say we are "sorry" because we know they are sad and we want to convey our sympathy. I think the intent gets blurred sometimes.

If you are always apologizing for your actions and you want to change that maybe just change your words. Instead of, "I'm sorry" use something like, "didn't mean to do that" or something more casual. The ever popular, "My bad" or something along those lines. I am sure there are plenty of other casual terms swirling around. It takes the formality off of it, making it a less apologetic sounding.

I just find I apologize for actually everything. I'll apologize for talking to someone saying something the wrong way. I always feel like I'm bothering or offending someone everytime I talk... Even on imgflip I'm afraid to comment on more than two of someone's images for fear of being a Nuisance

DON'T worry about that! I tell you something abut who is a nuisance. People who comment REPEATEDLY on an image. Not responding to comments, or having comment threads mind you. But many separate comments. There are a few who are doing that lately and I am so sick of seeing their notifications. Because what they are doing is not genuine commenting. It is generic stuff like just posting a template of laughing with no caption, or repeating the same comment in replies and on the image. This has been happening over about the past week.

I go to someone's page and I have been known to comment on 5-6 images. No one minds that. And if someone doesn't have time to respond or doesn't have a good response they usually just up vote and move on. But yeah. DON'T worry about that. Comment on as many as you want. That's why we make them! :)
