You apologise for things you didn't do just to lower the temperature.

What this archetype looks like

Your dominant stress response is Appease. Under stress you focus on what the other person needs, agree to calm the room, apologise for things that are not your fault and shape yourself around what others want. The good part is that you can calm tense situations fast. The hard part is that you may lose sight of what you actually feel and need. What helps is pausing before you agree and asking, "Is this true for me too?"
