[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4271228, member: 45551"] I have done this regularly throughout my life since my mid-30s. Has it made me a better person? Most definitely. Do I still get peeved when "someone" doesn't acknowledge my contributions. Well, yeah ... It's one of the less honorable qualities of the human condition, I think. Needing validation for doing the right thing. I also think that certain parenting styles promote this need. It's how some of us are conditioned to see ourselves as loved and respected -- through what others acknowledge, not just what we know internally. That is a horribly difficult cycle to break in one's self. I know from personal experience. I have a hard time being too rough on anyone who feels unappreciated. But I will also acknowledge that some personal accountability is ALWAYS a factor in emotions. [/QUOTE]
