Once upon a time, there was a girl who always said "I'm sorry." Whenever she did something that she felt was even remotely embarresing or stupid or uncalled for, she would apologize even if there was absolutely no need for an apology.
This girl, lets call her Frances, had reasons for apologizing. For about two years, there was a boy, let's call him Bob, who constantly told Frances that she wasn't worth anyone's time and that everything she did was rather dumb. So she got into the habit of apologizing to dumb Bob. Even though Frances didn't talk to Bob anymore, the habit stuck and the thoughts he put into her head stuck.
Well, one day Frances realized that it was a stupid habit that she needed to stop, because she really didn't need to waste all her energy thinking other people were annoyed with her and needed her apologies. So, Frances promised herself that she would only apologize to people if it was absolutely called for.
The. End.
