🎁 Receiving Gifts

It's not about the price tag. It's about the thought behind it.

People think this is shallow. It's not. You don't want expensive things — you want proof that someone thought about you when you weren't there. A wildflower picked on a walk. A screenshot of something that 'reminded me of you.' The thing itself doesn't matter. What matters is the message behind it: 'I saw this and I saw you.' Forgotten birthdays and thoughtless holidays don't just disappoint you — they wound you.

💬 Words of Affirmation

You need to hear it. Not guess it. Hear it.

Words are oxygen for you. A genuine 'I'm proud of you' can fuel you for a week. A careless insult can destroy you for a month. You need your partner to verbalize their feelings — not assume you know. Silence isn't golden for you, it's terrifying. You text 'I love you' first because you need to hear it back. You remember every compliment AND every criticism. Your heart has a transcript.

Strengths, side by side
