  • I’m sorry you’re going through all this stress :/ I wish I could help you with that.

    What I can give is a precious piece of advice I was given a few years ago: substitute some of your “sorry” with “thank you” e. g. “Thank you for answering my question with funny answers” instead of “sorry for wasting your time”. This applies to several other cases of course, even outside of Lemmy. In short: don’t feel guilty, feel grateful; say sorry when it’s actually necessary.

    In my case I could not do this, I would instinctively say “sorry” anyways. To overcome it I started forcing myself to say “sorry for X and thank you for Y”. I can definitely feel a difference on how I see my relationship with other people

    Good luck out there friend, I really wish you the best. Don’t stop trying to have fun :D
