[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting, when I was a kid, I had this issue, too. I remember being literally afraid that saying please and thank-you was a practical joke adults had cooked up to so I'd say it and get laughed it. As a result, I wouldn't say it. I'm not sure how I got this in my head, but I guess it's anxiety.[/quote] PP who was painfully shy as a kid. Yes, it's definitely anxiety. I went from painfully shy kid to fairly anxious adult. What helped me somewhat was when people would make a big deal (positive) about me saying "hi", "thank you", etc. It felt good so I was more likely to say it and loud enough that they heard but ... When people wouldn't say it back, ugh. Being a kid is hard. [/quote]
