10. When you cry.
Even if you cry a lot, it’s Okay. You’re crying for a reason. Maybe you’re hurt, sad, angry, emotional, or frustrated. Whatever the emotion is that you’re experiencing, if crying helps you work through your pain, never ever apologize for that.
11. When you ask for what you need at work.
Never apologize for speaking up for yourself at work. We’re not suggesting you rip your boss a new one and make crazy demands that could get you fired, but if you work hard and you show true loyalty and dedication to your career then it is totally appropriate to ask for what you need so you can do your job well. If you feel you deserve a promotion or you need more help on your team, ask for it and stand your ground.
