Be kind to yourself. Dont beat yourself up for apologizing, it happens to everyone, even me Just this morning I was on a face time call with some of my classmates. I slept at 2:30 in the morning so we all know how that usually ends up. Anyway, I was stuttering and they kept saying "you're breaking up kiddo!!!". It's a missed opportunity to say... "calm down pigeons, I'm doing my best on 3 hours of sleep!" Instead I just said said sorry.
