Times When You Should Just Say "Thanks", But Don't

Career Development Leadership Stakeholder Management

Someone shared a post - "Times When You Should Just Say "Thanks", But Don't".

Say “Thanks” when you're receiving a compliment.
Say “Thanks” when you’re running late.
Say “Thanks” when you're comforting someone.
Say “Thanks” when you're receiving helpful feedback.
Say “Thanks” when you're receiving unfair criticism.
Say “Thanks” when someone gives you unsolicited advice.
Say “Thanks” when you're not sure if you should thank someone.

Keeping above in view, How often, do you say "Thanks" to someone?

I do say thanks to show appreciation and acknowledgement to someone. But sometimes too engrossed in work that I ignore people. Then remember a moment later and want to say thanks, but it is too late. Lol!
Have to improve on my awareness.
