Sorry, forgive, thank you.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

I picked the top option to all of those. I wish I could say I think all of those are good sentiments but I can't . . . because they're just second nature so I don't think about them. 

[Princess Periwinkle 3,778]

I say "thank you" as often as I can, and "sorry" probably too often. xP

 

But yeah, I do expect the same in return and am often annoyed when people don't say "thank you".

[Night Mist 151]

I don't ever try to hurt anyone on purpose so if I do I say sorry.

 

If people do say sorry to me and mean it, it does feel a bit better but it'll still bother me.

 

I have a very hard time forgiving people, I try I really do. Its just hard if they've really in a way damaged me.

 

Of course I say thank you even if it's an afterthought sometimes. 

 

And yes I do

I was actually once told that I apologize too much lol

[Flying Pencil 3,029]

I say sorry way too much for minor reasons.

[Savystarscout 5,252]

I apologize way too much for the most minor reasons, or when I don't even need to.

[TBD 17,276]

It's hard for me to say 'sorry' since if I hurt someone I cared, I feel guilty and think 'just apologizing' isn't gonna cut it. Instead, I learn from my mistake and try to make up for it. As for minor things, I don't say 'sorry'-instead I said "excuse me" or 'excuse you".  Just so, It's not entirely my fault. If I made a minor mistakes at a workplace, I said  "my apology,". Saying 'sorry' in a professional field makes me feel like 'boot licker'. I just take up my mistake like an adult and leave it with that and eventually will forget the next. I say 'thank you' out genuine.  I always appreciated a helping hand. I also appreciated when someone acknowledge my work and a small humble "than you" would be nice.  Although I cannot take when someone "Praise" me. I won't allow it. It's like you're downgrading yourself for praising a person. A small thank you is enough.

1. 1. Do you say sorry if you feel you have hurt someone?

   Here's where my chaotic neutral side comes in and says it depends. If I hurt the feelings of someone who is a jerk or a bad person than no I don't feel bad. If this sort of situation happens in places like the workplace where I'd be obligated to give an apology. I'd say I'm sorry but not mean it. Which I've done before. Fake apologies run rampant in workplaces. 
   
   Vice versa if it's someone I care about or even someone I don't know very well that I've hurt I'd say I'm sorry and mean it. I'm not actively looking to hurt anyone's feelings unless they're a jerk.

2. 2. Do you feel better if the person that hurt you says sorry
   
   No not all the time. It depends on what they did.

    

3. 3. Do you forgive people easily?

   Again this depends on what they did. as to how much it bothers me.

4. 4. Do you say thank you if you've been helped or praised by someone else?

   Yes. 

5. 5. Do you feel better when you've helped someone and they say thank you to you?

   Honestly no. I used to feel good when praised but now I just don't feel anything. I really don't care.

[ExplosionMare 26,584]

1. Yes.

2. Yes, but it would also be preferred if they tried and changed their actions the next time, as well.

3. Yes, someone has to do something really horrible for me not to.

4. Yes.

5. Yes, but I'm not gonna badger someone if they don't.

• 1. Do you say sorry if you feel you have hurt someone?

  Most of the time I do, except when I'm truly not.  

• 2. Do you feel better if the person that hurt you says sorry

  It depends on what they did, and if I can forgive it.  It's an extreme case if I don't feel better when someone says sorry.

• 3. Do you forgive people easily?

  Sometimes, too easily.  There are things I will never forgive, however.

• 4. Do you say thank you if you've been helped or praised by someone else?

  Absolutely.  

• 5. Do you feel better when you've helped someone and they say thank you to you?

  Most of the time.

[Iforgotmybrain 7,858]

1. Usually, but there’s always exceptions. I’m not going to apologize to someone I don’t think deserves it.

2. Again, usually. If someone is repeatedly doing something that warrants them apologizing over and over again, then it starts to lose meaning. And somethings go beyond just saying sorry.

3. I forgive pretty easily, but I really don’t think that’s to my detriment. Forgiving someone doesn’t mean you have to interact with them or let back into your life.  You can forgive someone while wanting nothing to do with them.

4. Yes, unless I forget.

5. Honestly, no real preference. If someone says thank you, cool. If not, that’s cool too.

[Dreambiscuit 12,284]

These may be simple words but it’s not about words, but the feelings they represent. If someone makes a point of apologizing, or thanking or excusing on action or another, it shows they’re making an effort to be polite, make amends or honor another person. That’s respect, and it does matter.

It takes hard work and wise words when it comes to respect Dreamy

Do you say sorry if you feel you have hurt someone?
 

Yes. If actions are not necessary needed, I’d do my best to be sincere, as it’s my way to validate that happened by admitting my mistakes. But after that, “buried the hatchet”. So any ongoing grudges that they still wanted to hold onto are none of my concern. None taken. 

Do you feel better if the person that hurt you says sorry?

Yes. I don’t expect any explanation. A simple “I’m sorry” is enough.

Do you forgive people easily?

With family or friends, yes but I do not forget. I’m not the type to hold onto grudges, instead I prefer reflecting inwardly and outward, before moving on. Strangers, I would just forget them. 

Do you say thank you if you've been helped or praised by someone else?

Of course. It’s already difficult for me to ask for help, so if someone notices my struggles, that says a lot about them. I don’t do well with compliments but if I do receive them, I will say thank you and bring the attention back to them. It’s like hot potato. You throw me one and I’ll throw it back to you. 

Do you feel better when you've helped someone and they say thank you to you?

I do not expect any reward or validation. So when I help others, I do it because not only it’s right but it’s also an obligation. But.. I would rather not have you say it. Most of the time it’s “don’t thank me yet” *knock on wood*

Do you forgive people easily?

Some things cannot be forgiven.
