Recently, we found a Reddit post where people discussed the things they have stopped apologising for. The answers prove how people are looked down upon for even the minutest of things. Let’s take a look at them.

1. “Calling off sick when I have had perfect attendance my whole academic year.” – wakoreko

2. “Not wanting to have sex.” – PurpleAd8742

3. “Not being able/willing to make it to an everyday, casual, non-special occasion social gathering or event. I’m just so done with being expected to apologize, be ashamed and sorry, and have a damn good serious ‘legitimate’ excuse for simply not feeling like being social.” – ssssejin

4. “Expectations for a clean and organized house. You don’t like it? There’s the door. And, no I won’t be preparing a list of chores for you either, you’re a grown-ass adult.” – BetaGlucanSam

5. “My boundaries.” – Giannandco

6. “I am no longer apologizing for not following someone else’s rules/expectations for my life. I am not sorry for my style or fashion, my taste in food, my career choice, my budget, etc. Unless I am directly influencing your life, I have no reason to apologize for how I live mine.” – BaileyHeart

7. “My size. I have at least four diagnosed growth/metabolic and endocrine disorders – including a pancreatic tumour. As a result, I am unusually tall, muscled, broad, and very fat. Look, I am well aware that it’s not ideal. Trust me, I don’t love living with it either. But I’m not going to apologize to you or anyone else for having the body I do.” – StrangersWithAndi

8. “Collecting plushies. I don’t care if people think it’s childish. It’s my interest and it brings me joy. The same note with my art. Some find it disturbing how I draw animal skulls. I refuse to put a filter on my expressions.” – DaisyDeerling

9. “Asking for help.” – TattooPuddle

10. “Not taking on more responsibility at work. I am maxxed out. If you need more things done, hire more people. As simple as that.” – oddballchicken

11. “For questioning things.” – totrototrototro

12. “Everything. As a woman, I feel like I’m always apologizing. I’m really trying to break myself out of that habit. If an apology is warranted, then, of course, I’ll apologize. I think before I just blurt it out like I had a tendency to do.” – Vikingtender

13. “Taking my insulin injection in public. It’s an injection, so it’s supposed to be done in a sanitary condition. Why should I risk my health further by taking it in a dirty restroom/bathroom, just so others feel comfortable?” – Lozt_at_sea

14. “I stopped apologizing just to end a conflict that I didn’t even start.” – isamario_
