I rarely say I'm sorry; not because I'm never in the wrong or mess things up (Lord knows I do those things on the daily). It's because I happen to be a bit of a stickler for words and have set to improving my communication skills as a life goal. I also respect the meaning of words, in their truest form. So, I reserve the use of the word for times it actually means something and when I have truly wronged someone. I use it as a sort of promise to be better next time.
The word "sorry" means to feel sorrow or regret. Being late for a coffee date or a zoom call hardly warrants feeling sorrow or regret and seems so entirely silly to use the word sorry in these instances. Maybe you are using it as a mere term of politeness but I would challenge you to upgrade your choice of words. When we use words in their incorrect manner, we diminish their value. Words are everything and their proper use is important.
The more we throw around a phrase like "I'm sorry", the more casually we begin to misuse it. When you are sorry for everything, you begin to not really be sorry for anything and in a subtle way, relieve the burden on yourself to clean up your act. We have a saying in our home, "don't be sorry, be different." I wish I could claim to be the genius behind this statement but I cannot. I stole it from a story Matthew McConaughey shared in his memoir "Greenlights", of a lesson he was taught by a tribal man during his numerous, raucous travels of the world. It is brilliant. I don't want to hear someone say they're sorry, I want to see them be different; this includes me.
Instead of haphazardly saying you are sorry for every meaningless error you make throughout your day, try being more intentional. Be more intentional in your actions and your words. Let people know you really mean what you say; they will trust you and respect you for it. Save your "sorry" for when it really matters; or better yet, instead of being sorry, be different next time.
