I have a problem saying thank you to people older then me..I don't know why it's not like I have a grudge or something it's just that it jsut doesn't come out.
I used to say thank you in school to everyone and the teachers everytime they hand me a peice of paper but now when people give me something the word thank you won't come out. =S
Liek as a treat, the teacher handed us candy and I couldnt' say thank you and it really slipped off the back of my mind
I really wanted to thank my mom for walking all the wya to the drug store to get me cough drops when i was sick but i dunno..the word just won't come out

cheifbritneeilu answered Tuesday July 10 2007, 1:02 am: hm. i would say that if you think about it youd remember. but that might be annoying to think about that all the time. so i know this might be a little weird but sit in front of a mirror pretend your mom is in front of you and practice what your gonna say. and then when you go to say it to her pretend your just in front of your mirror again.

I know this happened to me, and I thought I was being impolite all the time when I really was greatful for things, I just didnt say it, tho I had said it so much in the past for like every little thing.
Its all a matter of remembering to say it, and once you remember, say it even if it really feels fake, or even if you just dont want to. It will become a habit soon enough. Im guessing we're all a little bit past the tying a string around your finger to remember something, so buy a ring that fits, and wear it all the time as a reminder. Once saying it is no problem, you can take the ring off, or if its cute, make a fashion statement and continue to wear it! It will become your signature piece everyone will remember you for.
