Sorry and thanks, which one you say much more?

I say thanks more often. I don't do too many things I have to say I am sorry for.I am stubborn too but I wouldn't hesitate to say I am sorry if i really mean it.

I do not keep a count, which of the these two words is used more often by me. These two words are very important. However, some people say that these two words should not be used between good friens. But I beg to differ, these two words, when used at an appropriate occasion, make quite a sence and quite a difference to relationship. I do not hesitate to use these words, as much as possible. If I have to use it, I use these two words very often, irrespective of the person in front of me. Even if he/she is my junior, I do not forget to say 'Thank You' for the favours done to me and if I have committed any mistake, I immediately say 'sorry' to the other fellow. I would never like to spoil a relationship, so if I am required to say sorry, I do not mind it and do not become egotist in this respect.

i think i am somewhere in between. i am a thankful person so every little nice and thoughtful gesture i receive from someone, i always say thank you in exchange. but i am just like you, i am stubborn. i tend to make people feel bad about what i do and say. so, whenever i realize that what i did or said were wrong, i say the words i am sorry immediately.

i say thanks more than sorry..sorry is the hardest word that will come out my mouth..i hardly say it specially when its not my fault..

I said "thank you" a lot simply because I had been brought up to say that words whenever people had get me something or do me some favour. Not that I don't like to say "sorry" but just have less chances to say so, seldom need to say that words indeed.

thanks i guess ive always say the word thanks than sorry sometimes its hard to say im sorry i guess u know that too especially if you have a lot of pride :)

I say thank you more often, because things go well, more ofthen than they go badly. In other words, I'm thankful for more than I'm sorry for. I would be sorry if there was something to be sorry for, but fortunately for me, my life has a lot of blessings, and very few problems.

i think i also say thanks most of the time. may be i face the suituation to say thanks more. i am not at all stubborn to say sorry

I have learned to say thank you more. Saying sorry is not really hard for me but there are certain people whom I don't want to say sorry to because I know deep down I really did nothing wrong. Also saying thank you for the littlelest thing can do wonders. To the janitors and helpers, it may mean the wold if someone "higher" says thank you to them. They feel a certain importance in what they have done. It will inspire the also to do better.

If you are in the wrong, you are in the wrong. Saying sorry should be the way to go. Imagine, when you teach your son. What would you want him to do when he done something wrong? I do not understand why some people find it so difficult to say "I am sorry". Sometimes, you do not need to do a lot to make amends. Admitting you are wrong and saying I am sorry is so much better. I mean, when someone does something to offend you or make you angry, how would you feel if that person refuses to admit it? And then do all sorts of things to try and make up, but denying that he is trying to make up? I mean, what is so difficult to say the simple word "Sorry"? Sheez~~~ and I thought only men are egoistic!

Hi youless! I think I say "Sorry" much more than "Thanks" nowadays. haha.. I have been putting my foot down more and more these days to people who have been so dependent to me even in the littlest of things which I think that they can do by themselves. I have noticed saying " Sorry, I can't" more and more these days. Take care always..God Bless!

For me both about the same, if I did something wrong I will say sorry even to my kids. Of course if someone did something for me I will say thank you.

it is really an interesting topic since everyone everyday may say sorry or thanks. as for me, i have no idea how many times or how often i say sorry or thanks, and therefore it is kind of hard for me to answer your question that wich one is more often word for me. however, i know that both sorry and thanks are not that hard for me to say because in my opinion if they are needed then i would like to say because i ususally tell myself that as a man, you should be more motivated or sometimes responsible. good luck, my friend.

interesting discussion, for me, i think thanks is often more than i'm sorry,i'm not a stubborn woman,but i'm not a new one on my working place, so i doing everything very carefully, i seldom say sorry to anyone if necessary, but as the works need to help from a team.so that we often say thanks when i get some help. good luck and havea nice day!

I say "thanks" more. It is sometimes hard for me to say I'm sorry to some people, especially if its someone I know will not accept my apology. I think it makes me dig my heels in more and be more stubborn.

In fact I tend to say more sorry than thanks, not that I am ungrateful, but I tend to forget to say thanks. But I am working hard to do the other way round, and it definitely makes everyone happier. Come to think of it, one should not be always be apologetic just because we are afraid to make mistakes. If we adopt this attitude, it can be difficult to develop ourselves as we think that we're always in the wrong. But looking more positively, mistakes are the opportunity for us to learn something new, and we should rightfully thank the person or circumstance that 'allows' us to make the mistake. Thank you is more difficult to say than sorry, but if we get into speaking it more often, it can become part of our lives.

HI youless, [i]I often use them! I say thanks a lot to the people who made me happy, give me some favor, give me advices and those who are always willing to take their time to be with me.. And I also say sorry for the people whom I have hurt by words or actions! I have been hard once to a friend who betrayed me but except her, I don't find it hard to say sorry when I need to![/i]

because i try very hard not to make mistakes or offend anyone... i think i use 'thank you' more than 'i'm sorry'.... but being at the office and working with a lot of people.. although you may not make very big mistakes or hurt anyone's feelings... you might just delay a report or two.. you might have missed to reply to a certain customer about something.. or forget to call back a colleague at the office that had requested a job from you... and for allll that... i need to 'i'm sorry'... and also 'thank you' for their patience and kind support (although you messed up a bit)..

hi youless, well, i am learning to say thanks more than before. i think it's more positive than 'sorry'. of course, it depends on the situation you face. saying 'sorry' is also an important part of manner. but say it too frequently maybe annoy other people. i do know someones who say sorry even if they didn't make any mistakes.

You are right, thanks is the word ,you can say any time , to any one.. But you need to be brave enough to say SORRY .. especially when they are juniors to you.. I never hesitate in saying sorry...but ,only if I am wrong...to anyone ,
