"small things.." .. my GF is tiny. All her things are small.
God I wish she was here right now.. I "enjoy" physical intimacy with her, but I LOVE IT when she wraps herself in my arms and sleeps on my shoulder. Feel her heartbeat slow down, feel her breathing slowly.. the big sigh before she sleeps
Checklists such as this are almost always framed from the perspective of what others are offering you rather than what you are consistently offering to others. If we’re falling short (as I sometimes do), we can’t always expect constant support in return.
I agree … almost. I’ve learned long ago in America we overvalue memory. My mother with dementia continues to be a Green Flag while not remembering little things. Let’s normalize forgetting and stop making it a test of value.
I would put limits on a few of those. I’m not interested in enabling crazy, self destructive behaviour. There are limits to people’s bullshit even if they are your friend. Sometimes it’s a friend’s job to wake a friend up. 🙂
As liberals, critical thinkers, are not supposed to get defensive when being challenged or informed they are just wrong... I have learned to block or down a sewer playing their game of psych tag to get attention.
I can't see green (or red). As a wolf, I only see shades of what you humans call yellow and blue. But I understand that "green" is considered by humans to be a friendly and safe color, like a forest. As a captain in the Wolfheim Space Navy, I fully endorse these principles.
They support your plan to seize the means of production.
They stand by you in solidarity as you find your empathy claim denied due to being out of network.
Yes, all this is fabulous but beware....this might just as well be somebody bomb-loving you in the first stage of coercive control.
Even new partners disagree on stuff and not all is rosy and energising. Ask them about their exes and listen very carefully to what they have to say about them.
I'm not sure that I'm still able to energise others, but that has pretty much been my template for interacting with people since I was a teenager. I haven't ended up with lots of friends but those I do have are rock solid and we always pick up where we left off no matter how much time has passed.
No one but you is forcing you to view or comment. But glad you feel so self-actualized and secure that you feel a need to declare how ahead of the curve you are.
When I see repeats I ignore 'em. Doesn't seem to hurt.
Extra bonus round:
- They hear what you say and actively try to make changes
- They apologize when they fuck up
- They listen to you and validate you without trying to "solve" whatever problem or emotion you are having
LynnZ I couldn’t agree with you more. But I am willing to bet, outside of your family, you can’t name more than three friends who can met those characteristics.

Doesn’t really seem that bad at all.

1. Show me who you are, and I’ll react accordingly.
2. Trust isn't a bank where one makes a few good deposits and lives off the interest; it's an everyday investment.

- They take responsibility for their own shit
- Their default reaction is always kindness

No, I won't be elaborating.
Does this person exist?
Well, except for the boundaries part.
In my experience family isn’t always about blood, but by thoughts, words & action

If your birthday isn't on a 15, 18, or 21, expect me to only remember the month. And that's with family.
One of the most genuine and raw compliments I've ever given.
Yet...it's very phrasing is covered with the scrapes, cuts and metaphorical scars that prove how very rare people like this truly are.
