In other words, I was/am a doormat who lacks enough self-esteem to tell the other person to FK OFF!
or just a nice person who knows that in most things it is rare for a single person to be completely to blame..and therefore it is better to apologize and then move on.
like me...i ain't no doormat...i just know that it takes a big man to say sorry when he is not wrong...and i am that big....
with friends it often led to them admitting they were wrong too.
with workmates ...well you still gotta work together...but nothing else
with idiots..who cares what they think of you.
