I dunno. After a while, all that apologizing and apologizing and apologizing even after being told not to feels a little tiresome, even if it's not insincere.

Welcome to anxiety, depression and shit self esteem.

We're tired of apologizing, too, but it doesn't make it any less sincere. As annoyed as you are by hearing it, imagine how we feel in the first place to have to apologize for existing.

There's no need to welcome me, I've got plenty of experience with all three, thanks. I've never once "apologized for existing", at least, not since I was 12 because wow, that's super melodramatic and I don't think I could do it with a straight face.

Also, the person in the secret (who was the subject of the conversation, not depressed people in general, or you in particular) wasn't apologizing for existing (lol!) she was apologizing for being a terrible baker... which she wasn't, and for which she received multiple reassurances, every single time, that she was a very talented baker. She was also gently checked by the judges not to be so hard on herself, but she still did it... which is probably why people found her repetitive apologies tedious.

Anxiety, depression and low self esteem are not free passes to do whatever you like without people getting tired of it. When people act like they are, it makes all of us who suffer from these issues look bad.
