Do you express your gratitude and apologies adequately?

www SG

wanted to post this topic for quite a while but keep forgetting.

do you believe that you are someone who makes use of "thank you" and "sorry" in a refrain or abundant manner?

some believe that these terms should not be used as often, so that one does, it sound more significant.

on the other hand, there is another group of people who think one should thank and be sorry whenever and however there is an opportunity, so that the receiving party wont feel that he/she is taken for granted.

there is no answer to this question.
personally too much gratitude make ppl ignore whereas ppl will remember if u do not make apologies cos at tat moment they are either upset or piss off.
just do it sincerely.

err... i believe u have misinterpreted my question.

i was asking more of "do you think you are", rather than "do you think you should".

therefore, there is an answer to this question.

i think when u wanna say thank u or sorry u shud say wif a heart. if u can say it a 100 times and each time, be sincere abt it, den well and good. if u can only say it a few times b4 it becomes robotic and mechanical, den forget abt it. i think if someone says thank u or sorry to me but totally doesnt look like hes thankful or remorseful, den its worse than if he keeps quiet.
