My good mate Teebs put me onto this interesting video on asking people to praise you the way that you need so you don't suffer in silence for no reason.
Not everyone will work it out by themselves, sometimes you need to tell them how you like to be appreciated. I think I like the idea... What do you think?
This is just wonderful! I am very much a person who asks for what I need 'For Valentines day, I was thinking it would be lovely if we...'. I think making your partner guess is a bit cruel and i have never understood why so few people do this. I think the speaker puts her finger on it - asking for what we need makes us vulnerable.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really great way of saying it. When I watched it I thought it was a really good idea, but I couldn't work out how to say to someone 'what I really need from you is to be thanked when I...'. Seemed a bit self indulgent. Great example though, thanks Rachel!
ReplyDeleteLove it..."True your wheels". Make me think!
