I think I am better at verbalizing my appreciations and compliments for sweeties than I am for friends or acquaintances. But it would probably make me and other people feel better and be happier if I were to do it more.
I think some of it is about reinforcing behaviors we value and appreciate.
And having had my attention turned to this, let me say that I've gotten some favorable responses from the now-mine, formerly-yours piss off the religious reich T shirt. Thanks for making that possible *and* thanks for being the sort of person who would buy and wear it to begin with. I wore it to church, on a day I had AKD with me, and ended up discussing the fact that I date both her mom (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=dawnd) and dad (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=akienm). Clearly, the sort of church whose religious beliefs that aren't reich-approved.
