I make efforts to be polite as much as possible. Actually, I have been told I say "sorry" too much and "thank you" when unnecessary......maybe I do over apologize, but I do not agree with the person about me saying "thank you" too often. When irritated though or when others are rude to me, I can fight fire with fire when you catch me on the wrong day, but this is rare now. I do notice sometimes I'm a little more quiet and withdrawn, so I have days at work I might only seem moderately friendly. On days I'm "up" though or during hypomania, I'm a lot more cheery and friendly. Manners are very important to me, and I make efforts to treat others with respect and convey that.
