If you catch yourself doing this
Count the number of times you apologise
Then ask yourself which apology was for them and how many more you said to self soothe
The more you apologise, the more you’re actually apologising to your inner child
Who didn’t get the chance to be apologised to back then.
There is healing to be done.
Ignore this wound and eventually you will get frustrated or bitter whenever someone doesn’t acknowledge your needs. Even if they do it without ill intention.
