[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 757939, member: 1233"] Nomad, I know this is a late response, but this very much reminded me of a stage Wiz went through. Wiz just would NOT believe that any praise/positive words that he was given were true. He insisted that we were lying and trying to get him to believe us so that we could later tell him it was not true and we could laugh at him over believing us/anyone. He did believe we meant it when we told someone else, as long as we didn't aim any of the conversation to him. Overheard praise meant a LOT to him, esp if we told his grandparents (who lived in another state at the time). I used to go so far as to pretend to dial them and talk to them (usually I just called them, but it got to the point where I was calling multiple times a day, so sometimes I would just pretend to have them on the phone. I always told them about it later, of course. I wonder if this family just doesn't believe the praise/positivity unless it is shouted to the world? [/QUOTE]
