What has your other half or a friend of yours done for you recently to make you feel good about yourself?
A friend of mine recently text me after about 6 months to see if I wanted to catch-up and go for dinner - that's just one small example.
How about you?

The best part was that it was totally out of the blue but sincere. It can be a bit contrived sometimes but it was done just right!
I sometimes think I should track him down and tell him how much that one comment meant, but I don't want to be a creepy stalker!
I'm back at our home now.
Keep your thoughts coming, it's really positive to recognise the way that others enable you to feel good about yourself. Lots of these things, as your posts show, can be really simple - but still make a big difference.
Just last night my boyfriend cooked me dinner after a long day because I was really tired - but he was too, so the fact he did it in a cheerful way was massively appreciated!
You may be interested to know that a recent survey called 'Enduring Love' which asked 4212 people what helped them to feel good about themselves in relationships came up with the following findings on what people felt made a difference. These findings are from their interim report.
If you're interested in the wider research, you can find it here.
That really made my day, tiny jesture, but massive warm fuzzy feeling.
Made me feel like I was a princess.
:shocking:
It's a bit silly out of context, but trust me that it's probably the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day!
