How do you treat someone whom overly compliments and apologizes too much?

example:
this person might say, "I know my car is not as good as yours..I know yours is better", etc..
Or, the person will apologize in a situation that doesn't warrant an apology. I've bluntly asked "why are you apologizing"?

Answer:
Apparently this person overly apologizes and compliments to avoid rejections, conflicts, or merely as a conversation smoother. He/She is a people pleaser. It's not you that has to change it's that person who must change by acknowledging their errors, expressing their regrets and then moving on. Until they do this they will continue with this behavior because clearly they have low self-esteem, they are the avoidant type personality, and again, are people pleasers.
from a psychological point of view.he sounds insecure.but from a honest point a view.he sounds like a *** kisser.maybe he's trying to stay on good terms with you or using you for a particular reason and dont want to upset you or lose your friendship.
I used to work with a girl like this and I couldn't figure her out for anything. If she bumped into someone her apology could last for minutes, and if you wore something she liked she would just go on forever about it. Her feelings were usually hurt very easily too. One day she came in to work in a new outfit that was very pretty, and a very attractive older girl told her that she looked really nice. And then I heard all morning from her that she must have said that because she NEVER looked nice. All in all, I figured that she was better than people that were always in your face about something and tried to make trouble and just lived with it. We even became friends, going over to each others' homes to have dinner and going out to the movies. She became more real then. It is an act, I think probably they want to be liked by everyone.
I would just ignore and avoid talking to this person. It sucks.
sometime it's to ignoring.

Inferiority complex.
Tell him that you don't like this attitude. He will not do it again.
Try to get him out of this complex.
How do I treat them?

Honestly, I just let them be, along with a chuckle sometimes.

I've met a lot of people who are submissive enough to even agree to anything you say, as if they are fearing rejection, but I don't really find them annoying or anything similar.

Yeah, as previously mentioned, I also agree that it is a form of manifestation of someone who is insecure. They lack self-confidence and would always feel helpless when alone.

People who look down on themselves too much aren't much of a nuisance, neither to yourself nor to themselves, but I always make it a point not to hang-out with them for way too long.

I can only tolerate so much you know.
