Do You Expect "Thanks"from Whom You Helped?

hello baluyadav... i will be honest to you...sometimes i really do expect someone whom i have helped to say thanks to me...coz that way, i feel that i really helped them and that they appreciate what i do for them... and lets admit it...that simple words of thanks can bring a lot of happiness to us & a good feeling as well... but, most of the time, when i help someone, i never expect anything in return...coz for me, that's the real essence of helping... with me, i will help even beyond my capacity as long as i can...specially if its for my loved ones...my family, my friends...i always wanted to help to the best that i can and be a blessing to them... have a good day friend!

Hi Baluyadav, I dont expect thanks, but I expect the person not to behave badly with me, and have my best interests in heart. The word is "grateful" I believe.

In my life, I have had many expressions of kindness that I was not able to personally thank or reciprocate to the original donor. Some of those people I have only seen once in my life, but their help meant the world to me. They gave freely without any expectations. My only way of repaying them is to adopt that same attitude and "play it forward" by helping someone else.

Yes. That is the least that a person could do is to thank someone for helping them. Alot of people won't even go as far to say it though and it makes the giver feel used at times.

I like being thanked when I help others, its just a polite thing to do, but I dont get upset if they don't. Its something I never fail to do, but everyone is different and some people don't see the need to show their gratitude with words.

I do expect a thanks for people that i have helped or will help in the near future. I think it is very nice and respectful. I give thanks to whom i have helped too. I think it is the right thing to do.

When I help someone I do not expect them to say thanks. I can see from their expression afterwards that my help was useful and that is what makes me happy. Knowing that I was able to help someone and seeing that they are now doing better after making use of my jelp is reward in itself. When someone does thank me I never know what to say to them as to me it seems so natural to help anyone whenever I can. It might be me needing help next time

I don't do things for people just to get a 'Thank you' from them, but because I see a need and I want to help. Some people have a hard time accepting that they are in need, and thus have a hard time saying thanks...even when they accept the offered help. In time, thanks may come in other forms. Or, what I like to say when I'm thanked for something, "Thanks are not necessary. Do something for some one else in need, when you can, and that's thanks enough for me."

Well, I never always expect those whom I help to thanks me, but a simple single word to say thanks would not hurt them. So, I still prefer a simple thanks as a sign of gratitude to complement the person who are responsible in helping me. It is an act of courtesy or giving of due respect to the person contribution in helping me or the other way around.

Hi Balu I think that my intention is to help the people who need my help and do not expect any gratitude of words from them. It is their manners to say thank you or not. Some people say thank you and some will not but it is not in any way make me feel bad. My purpose is solved once I help them out and fix their problem

hi balu, I don't mind if people that I helped never thanked me. Its our pleasure to help people. we should expect thanks from them.

It is human to expect gratitude but in my case not getting thanks has become a rule than an exception but this has not detered me from helping anyone in need.

It is always nice to be appreciated. However, I'm not about to twist anyone's arm to thank me. I do not do things for other people because I expect gratitude. I do things for people because its the right thing to do. Still, I may be less inclined to help a person who does not thank me as opposed to a person who thanks me, deep down. Still, I try and set an example by thanking those who give me an assist even if others do not follow.

no i never expect these kind of words fromany one.as i believe in karm-yoga..

Sometimes we ourselves will be in a cloud of thoughts and our mind will be elsewhere. Unknowingly we ourselves will not utter the words 'Thanks' but definitely we will have gratitude towards the other person for the help received. Later we will express our gratitude in person or by way of phone, email, sms etc. Hence I will not immediately mistake the other person if 'thanks' is not expressed immediately.

I don't mind if people that I helped never thanked me. Just the feeling of having helped somebody is more than enough. But a simple "thank you" adds to the satisfaction.

Ofcourse i expect thanx from whoever i help. How will i help te net person if the previous never appreciated.

No,I dont's expect "Thanks" from whom I helped.Because just as you said,it's within my capability.And I'm happy that I can help others.
