Warning Signs: The 7 Hidden Traits of Overly Nice People Revealed in Conflict
2) Over-apologizing
Have you ever come across this?
I once had a co-worker, let’s call him Sam. Sam was the epitome of niceness. Always cheerful, always helpful. But when disagreements surfaced, I noticed a peculiar trait – Sam would apologize. A lot.
At first, I thought it was just his way of defusing tension. But over time, I realized it was more than that.
Even when the conflict wasn’t his fault, or when he had a valid point to make, Sam would apologize. It’s as if he believed that saying sorry would magically resolve all issues.
