She apologizes more than saying

“please” and “thank you”

She apologizes more than saying

“please” and ”thank you” not because of her immodesty, but because

she always does everything by herself,

She’s just not used to asking people for favors.

She apologizes more than saying

“please” and ”thank you” Not because of her naïveté, but because

she was too much of a people pleaser,

she’s just afraid to have people dislike her.

She apologies more than saying

“please” and ”thank you”
