What is the difference between "thanks" , "thank you" , and "thx" ?

Not in meaning of the word. What I mean is, what is the difference with regards to the person actually meaning it/caring.

I think this is all dependent on the individual. I am a very grateful person, but I almost always say "thanks." It is not meant to be flippant. I never realized anyone would perceive it as anything but sincere until my husband scolded my son for always saying "thanks" instead of "thank you." For me, it is simply a habit.

thanks is more casual and on friendly terms
thxs is completely ckmfortable with said person and rushed
