I asked her why she never says nice things and she asked me why I need to hear the words when I knew that she was happy for me. We talked about it for 20 minutes and she still wouldn't verbalize her comments. It drives me crazy!
Can anyone relate or does anyone have any comments? Thanks in advance.

My T actually does give me compliments but I'm too awkward to continue the conversation and just shrug it off like it's no big deal.
Last week I told my T my GPA was a 3.6 and she was really enthusiastic and happy for me, and my response was "I guess it's okay, it's lower than my last semester though".
Then today, I told my T I drove alone for the first time since getting my license a year ago and she was extremely happy and even asked me to drive to the office next week if I can and gave me tips on driving and my reply was, "It was just around the block, it wasnt that big of a deal".
I'm sure your T is proud/happy with your accomplishments but doesnt show it too much.
