Summary from the TLDR Product newsletter

Over-apologizing, especially for minor issues or things beyond your control, can hurt both confidence and career perception. Reserve apologies for situations that truly warrant them so they are both accepted and valued. Check your inner dialogue to see if an apology is necessary, take responsibility without excuses, and use confident, non-self-deprecating language.
