I have been trying to use the "praise" more often.
As I have said before..:
"I love you", thank you, and great job son"
Those words or phrases were just not part of my upbringing. My father was brutally verbally abusive. Nothing was ever Good enough. Criticisms were quick and harsh.
So thanking people and telling the few in my life I still associate with that they are appreciated and loved seems like it should be done often. They probably think I have lost my mind.
It can be difficult, especially so when one has come from an abusive background as you mention...but it's a choice I guess. Perpetuate the behaviours or change them...which is what you've done and are doing. Keep doing it, habits form.
Thanks Bro!
You are pretty awesome!!
^^ See ^^ 👀 what I did right there..?
Just eyeballing your topics for the WE. Upon a quick hand check it appears my genitalia is still there.
So what to write about? We shall see...
It's good to hear no dick dropppage has occurred, it's probably not as fun as it sounds.
