Nope
People who respond to a yes/no question with “nope” are usually happy it’s a no.
“Nope, I didn’t put it back where it belongs… (because I knew it would get you roweled up)”
“Nope, we’re out of pumpkin pie… (and now I don’t have to go back in the kitchen)”
What’s your alternative?
Thanks
People who respond with “thanks” as opposed to “thank you” are cutting you (and themselves) short of actual appreciation.
“Thanks for coming” is far different from “Thank you for being here.”
What will you say today (and tomorrow?)
You’re Welcome
You could respond with “yup,” “no problem,” “sure,” “whatever,” but “you’re welcome” shows you’ve given them your complete attention.
The words we choose to use
can change everything. We can choose some words to connect us better to one another than other words. We can choose words that are more sincere, more caring, more backed with love.
The words, though, will always be a choice. What will you choose?
