WELLNESS
Niloofar’s Wellness Tip
Stop Saying ‘Sorry’ if you Mean to Say ‘Thank You’ Over and over when students come into my office they apologize. “Sorry for taking up your time.” “Sorry that I’m crying.” “Sorry that I’m repeating myself.” “Sorry”. “Sorry.” “Sorry.” I always tell students to stop saying “Sorry.” Especially in cases like the ones I just mentioned, where a “thank you” works better. I came across this excellent cartoon the other day about how to say “thank you” instead of “Sorry”. Here are a couple of examples, below (there are many more in the full cartoon):
