no but for real have you ever done / said something and had another person be like "hang on a second, you noticed that about me?" and you can see in their face like how touched they are that you remembered something about them or picked up on something that they say or do a lot or maybe even kind of infrequently but it's unique enough to them that you're like yes of course you mean so much to me, how could I not know how important this is to you

#mine #i used to be so bad at gift giving and then a friend of mine was like. just listen to them and get them something that they talk about #and that was literally LIFE CHANGING for my friendships and other relationships like fr #it's not even that i Gift people things often but sometimes it's just Knowing about someone that can feel like a gift to them???#most notably ok so i have this coworker who like. vents about her personal life to me bc it's life we don't know each other #i don't know and will never know the people she vents about. it's a good system #but i literally just like. listened. and made an observation about something she said. and she was like #holy cow you know me so well in so little time?? i think i might have to consider us friends now???#and i was very much like hell yes i just received an A in being a good coworker #but it's also just things like. when she's bored she'll say the word sigh out loud. and if nobody acknowledges her she goes sigh sigh sigh.#so now when she says sigh. i hit her with the sigh sigh sigh before she can say it and she thinks it's SO FUNNY #it's like one of those things that she didn't even know she was doing so she thought it was like insane that i could've caught on #and i just. am going crazy tonight over personal connection apparently!!#i want to know all of your little idiosyncrasies!! i want to listen to you rant and ramble!! i want to be good for you!!#next up in my to do list for personal growth for myself and relationships is learning how to also talk and not just listen lmao <3 #yes i know everything about you no i have not shared any personal information about myself but anyway how is your day going #anyway I think that's enough from me lmao good night <3
