5 THINGS I WISH MY FRIENDS WOULD SAY TO ME

Telling me I look great is fine, but it’s hard for me to know how to respond. What if I actually feel like 1 have 1000 kilovolts shooting up my arms?  Now I’m not saying I want people to ask me how I am all the time, while looking searchingly into my eyes and holding my hand. That would become massively annoying really quickly. Perhaps only when the cracks show? Every now and again? That’d be lovely.

 

“Now I know you never ask for anything but I’m going to the supermarket later and I wondered if you’d like me to pick something up for you?”

This is such a good thing to hear. Really. It’s super thoughtful because it’s pretty obvious that I don’t like to ask for anything. I’m too proud and I hate putting people out. I never ever respond to anyone who offers me a favour and then only very, very rarely. Continuing to offer and making it easy for me to accept help is always appreciated. Even if I say no.
