But these expressions, and there frequent use is very necessary in today's world, no doubt. (Unless you want to look ungrateful or rude)
So to have a real impact on people with your "thank you"s and "sorry"s, I recommend adopting the following strategy:-
Prepare around 2-3 different forms of "sorry"s and "thank you"s.

For example- apologizing for a huge blunder.
Use these VERY rarely, only when you truly mean it,
