Friendship is such a wonderful thing in everyones life. Every person in the life has the friends & maintain the relationship of friendship. There are sometimes also misunderstanding between the friends. But whether it is necessary to say sorry & thank you in frienship ??

I suppose saying "thank you" or "I am sorry" would depend on the depth of your friendship. With a true true friend, you would know each other so much like second skin you would know when a friend is sorry or grateful even without saying the words...and that would be enough.

True friendship is very difficult to find. The words sorry and thank you helps to build loyalty and respect in these friendships. It shows your appreciaion towards those you love. Besides, what can be more rewarding to show and recieve appreciation, loyalty and respect from your friends. Yes, I believe that those words should carry the utmost value in any friendship.

'sorry''thank you'....important words.It is definitely necessary,especially in close relationship."Never say sorry.The right kinds of people don't expect it.The wrong kinds take mean advantage of it." But is it possible to have a relationship like that in the real world?Sometimes we expect or demand them from others even though those two words means absolutely nothing....

Sorry and Thank You are two important words not only do we need to say to our friends but also to others who deserve to hear them when needed. They're not as simple as "Hi" or "See You" but as powerful as "I Love You". Why? Because once you say these words, you must have the most pure intention of meaning them.

It's necessary for respect and good manners. Nobody can be my friend if he doesn't respect me and donn't uses good manners in our firendship.

We should always say "sorry" and "thank you" is the situation requires it. Even between friends.
When it's necessary to apologize for something we did, by all means we should say sorry because it shows that we regret what we did and we are asking for forgiveness. If my friend did me wrong then I also want him to say sorry to me. Therefore, I should say sorry if I did something wrong to him. Like do unto others what you want other do unto you.
Saying "thank you" shows how much we appreciate something they did for us. We all want to be appreciated so we shouldn't deny our friends the chance to feel appreciated. Therefore, we should always say thank you.

I believe there are times to say sorry and thank you in a friendship. Unfortunately, our ego can sometimes prevent us from saying those two simple words.
But in order to friendships to thrive I believe our pride has to be let go. This way we can be more understanding and open to new ideas.
What about you rautrahul? What do you think?
Have a great day. Happy mylotting!
