In the past few years I've learned how to be more open about my admiration of friends and family and yes life is too short not to say "I see you..." "I admire ----- about you." I care about you." etc. I also have made and effort to tell someone when I notice something positive about them even if they're not a close friend ("I like your scarf," etc.)
This kind of practice is a building block of happiness. So congratulations!  |
Thank you, WrkNPrgress. I'm sorry I didn't see your post before. I have to work on complimenting people more. Yes, doing so is important! I sometimes forget that others want to be seen and understood and validated just like I do.

Thanks, AllHeart. My T and I have been together 5 years. I've come to realize it IS a real relationship even with her boundaries. I love her because I know she's a good person, not just because she's my T.
