What Words of Affirmation says about you
You can probably still quote a compliment someone gave you years ago. For you, what people say carries real weight. A specific thank-you, a text that says they noticed how hard you worked, a friend telling you they're proud of you: those land, and they stay. You reread kind messages, you notice how things are phrased, and you remember exactly who said what.
That sensitivity makes you very good at encouragement. You're the friend who sends a "you've got this" text the night before the interview, who writes an actual message in the birthday card instead of just signing it, and who tells coworkers what they did well instead of assuming they know. People leave a conversation with you feeling noticed, because you put it into sentences.
The flip side is that harsh comments hit you hard, and silence can feel like disapproval even when someone is just busy. Not everyone talks the way you do. A parent who fixes your car without a word, or a roommate who restocks the coffee before it runs out, may be saying the same thing in another form. It helps to tell the people close to you, plainly, that hearing it out loud matters to you.
