*Blogging has taken a backseat to life, being a mom, and my art that has suddenly taken off! Will blog when I can!!
There are certainly types of people that are common in the eating disorder world...they're actually everywhere, but there is a more dense population of them in the ed community. On my mind today, is the "Apologizer".
I have a million friends either in treatment, in recovery, in & out of treatment, somewhere on the spectrum; I have girls I officially mentor, girls I unofficially mentor, girls I like to support or just check in with every once in a while & see how they're doing with everything...besides them being my friends, I often refer to them as "my girls" or my "chiquitas".
So, I have a couple "chiquitas" I've been talking to lately who are HUGE apologizers. There was one conversation that went a little like this:
"Hi, sorry to bother you Lauren.."
"Don't be sorry, you can text me anytime"
"okay, sorry."
"Why are you sorry, I just said don't be sorry! Whats going on?"
"k, sorry"
Maybe it's natural for them, maybe it's a filler...not sure of what else to say? Maybe in other relationships there IS a need for constant apologies? I'm not sure of the reasons behind it, but it's definitely interesting!
