Genuine apologies often mean admitting to yourself that you are in the wrong. Sometimes you don't want to acknowledge that about yourself.
I try to make sure that if someone has done something for me that I really appreciate, that they are aware of that fact. Like others have said, I generally find asking for help much harder than thanking someone once it's received. I guess it's somewhat related to what i said about apologising above... asking for help is akin to accepting some kind of deficiency within yourself.
Something related:
How well do you accept compliments?
Are you a person who always has to brush it off. I.e. Someone tells you that your top looks nice and you respond with 'oh this old thing, I've had it for years'. Or are you able to accept compliments with a simple thankyou.

I love compliments. I derive more pleasure from them than any modest person should

Saying thanks is no biggy for me. I like to let people know when they've done something nice for me, and I like to let people know I appreciate it.
Saying sorry has become easier for me over time, I try to be more honest with myself and admitting to doing the wrong thing is definitely a part of being honet with yourself. If I know I'm in the wrong, I'll say sorry freely, however if I'm not wrong, or if I don't think I'm wrong, I refuse to apologize jsut for the sake of keeping the peace...

Saying THANKS is a really easy thing for me to do because I really appreciate it when people do something to help. On another note, Im NEVER afraid to ask people for help so therefore I feel I really do owe a thanks a majority of the time. I expect my friends to help out, but they should know I will alway do the same for them.
If someone doesnt say thanks, they arnt my friends cause the people I love and do things for arnt like that. Simple.

<<<< Chronic thanker and apologiser here too 
I don't care if it seems fake - and yes, I'm one of those people who thanks the checkout chick when she gives me my change, and apologises when someone else bumps into me with their shopping trolley - it's just me.
I think they're just little niceties of society and I'd be sad to lose them.
I actually don't come across many people who *don't* thank or apologise, or repay debts either fiscal or intangible... and for that I'm thankful (damn, there I go again
)

i dont struggle with manners, moreso people who are rude... i dont understand how people who dont thank or excuse their behaviour dont feel any kind of remorse... im probably too over apologetic, or too thankful... id rather that than feeling guilt for not being either...

It's not hard at all for me to thank people. The only problem is i'm so used to thanking people all the time it just rolls off the tongue, and i'm never too sure how it came out. It often leaves me looking back and wishing i had my more effort, especially when it comes to thanking friends.
I think it's easy to thank people for small things, but harder for the big things.
Like thanking someone for being a part of your life, for taking the time to get to know you and for making you smile just by being around.
I think these are the most important things to thank people for.

I always "Thank" Peoples !
Im a Very Thank you kinda guy, I even thank people whom i PM that reply !
Im also a "I go out of my way to do shit for my friends" kinda guy, and Quite often i dont get thanked how i feel i should
But sometimes when My friends Do Thank me by Buying me Gifts, i get all shy and find it hard to say thanks, Well i do say thanks.. but just the WOW of them thanking me in such a way is breath taking..
Hard to explain.
