[QUOTE="Malika, post: 561597, member: 11227"] Well, I guess we can only do this according to our own best lights :) I don't give J praise or acknowledgement insincerely, just for the sake of it, but when he has genuinely done something I admire or respect or to point out to him his own qualities (talk to me on another day about what those things are...) Part of the reason for this is that I grew up without this kind of validation and it has been very damaging in my life. I think we need to hear from others what and who we are for us to integrate this into ourselves... Given that J gets so much negative feedback from me and the world in general, it is only redressing the balance a little. [/QUOTE]
