I don't need compliments to boost my ego, or to be told I'm needed.. not that.. Just *lots* and *lots* of affection as proof of feelings...probably more than most people are willing to give.
Gee, I wish I could give you advice on that, but I must be just the opposite of you. I shy away from signs of affection except from my grandkids. It's probably because I'm so sensitive. If anyone shows me too much gratitude or affection I end up crying. I can't watch lots of movies and TV shows because I tear up so badly that I can't even appreciate them, and of course I worry that someone would make fun of me, not that it really matters, there's nothing I can do about it. So just keep posting you won't feel so alone with all of us here on the forum.
