I think all of us have a person (or two) that we NEED approval from. Be it a parent, boss, spouse, friend, coworker, family member, child, etc. For me, I have a huge support group of friends and family that love me and are there for me with a hug or an encouraging word when needed. However, sometimes we work hard or accomplish something and there is a specific person that we desperately need to know noticed and approved. When this goes on for a while with no feedback or acknowledgment we can become overly discouraged and if we do happen to say something to that person, it is often passed off with comments like “of course I’m proud of you, you should know that”, or “you don’t need my approval.”
The point is, if you are proud of someone or notice they did something good please tell them. You never know when you are THAT person for them. It this weird PC world of ours don’t be afraid to give compliments and hugs. It’s human nature to crave those things. You never know when your words will help heal.
