Stop Apologising For Existing (Seriously)

Stop Saying Sorry For Things That Aren’t Wrong 💗

By Vikki – How To Feel Fucking Amazing

Somewhere along the line, we were taught to apologise for taking up space. For having feelings. For being emotional. For needing rest. For not being available 24/7. For saying “no.” For EXISTING.

But “sorry” becomes a habit you use to shrink yourself. And honestly? You deserve better than living like an apology.

You’re not rude for having boundaries

If you say no, someone might get annoyed. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong. It means they’re used to you putting yourself last.

You’re not dramatic for having emotions

Emotions are part of being alive. You’re not a robot. Feeling things doesn’t mean you’re “too much.” It means you’re human.

You’re not difficult for needing support

Everyone needs safety, comfort and connection. That’s biology. Not weakness.

People pleasers were never respected—just used

You apologised because you were taught to keep the peace. To avoid conflict. To be “easy.” But that turned into self-erasure.

Stop shrinking so other people feel comfortable

You do not have to make yourself smaller so others feel bigger. That’s not kindness. That’s self-abandonment.

Before you go…

The only people who think you’re “too much” are the ones who benefit when you’re less.

Stop apologising. Start existing loudly.
