Have you noticed how the people who really should apologise for their behaviour never do? I'm not suggesting you start trampling over people to get what you want but do stop apologising for nothing.
Respect yourself.
If it feels too difficult, replace the automatic "Sorry" with a "Thank you" - this works well if you're apologising to lots of people getting up to let you through at the cinema / theatre / rugby.
When I you most apology-prone?
What phrases can you start using instead of sorry in the future? Practice at home alone so it's more natural.
