When /not/ to apologize
There are seemingly endless situations calling for an apology — plenty
of ways to screw up, piss people off, or offend — but a few
circumstances when you don’t need to change a thing. Women and girls,
who are famously maligned for apologizing too frequently, should stop
apologizing for apologizing, Ingall says. “We have to be really careful
about not over-policing women’s speech and not telling women that the
way they talk — whether that’s vocal fry, or rise in inflection at the >> end of the sentence, or apologizing — is wrong,” she says, “because
sometimes there are things we just got to do to make it through the day
and to make our life easier.”
Never apologize for existing, taking space, and living your authentic
self. That’s the version of unapologetic worth aspiring to.
“It’s appropriate to apologize for things that you do or say,” McCarthy
says. “*You don’t have to apologize for who you are*.”

Hello John
I had thought - hoped - that you might explain why you think that there
are two versions of me.
More importantly, perhaps, explain why most folk in this group refuse to interact with either one of me!

Hello John
I had thought - hoped - that you might explain why you think that there are two versions of me.
More importantly, perhaps, explain why most folk in this group refuse to interact with either one of me!I was a physics, not a psychiatrist. I claim no expert knowledge. But it seems
to me that when you mount your hobby-horse you react differently from when you
are walking.
As for your other question, who knows? Perhaps they lack patience. The hobby-horse rider bores them to tears and they just switch off when they see your name, or worse come up with a knee-jerk reaction.
John.

Was 'talk' back then more interesting and diverse?
Perhaps you'd like to start a thread on a subject of your choosing?
