"Positive connections"

I don't know that this an 'acceptable' term but anyways.

To me, positive connections is about remembering to let the people you care about, know that they're special... and ummm... cared about.

In general, I personally feel there are too many times when we're told when we do things wrong, are not amusing, fail to entertain and generally, feel unaccepted. In my world, I take time out every single day to tell people they're cool, nice, sweet, funny... or something. I just make the effort to point out something positive to them. Mostly it'll be private, in pm's or e-mails, but everyone knows I've done it in topics as well.

So my questions for you to think about answering are:

---------------------------

When was the last time someone made the effort to make a positive connection with you?

Have you made a positive connection with someone today?

How often do you feel, that in an extremely close relationship should positive connections be made?

-----------------------------

And my answers
Outside of my family, a friend said something really sweet to me yesterday that left me grinning.

Yesh, I already said nice shtuff to 7 different people.

In a close relationship, one should reaffirm the positives regularly, IMO. Especially make sure that those you care most about, know that they're special!


Feel free to add something... or just answer a question, or three! :D

Today.

Have you made a positive connection with someone today?
Yep. I like to try and give people a boost when ever possible.

How often do you feel, that in an extremely close relationship should positive connections be made?
As often as possible. I think it's important make a constant effort, even if it's just something small.

Just yesterday.

Have you made a positive connection with someone today?
Dang it! I just woke up, woman! But I'll fix that...

How often do you feel, that in an extremely close relationship should positive connections be made?
As often as possible. But then again, to me, just the simple presence of being with an extremely close friend (like family, to me)... positive connections are being made even if you're just sitting there and nothing is being said.
