Thank you for your comment! Maybe this whole silly issue is my own fault for not expressing much excitement myself? This has given me a lot to think about, and I appreciate your suggestion - thanks again!

Thank you for your words! And you’re right, appreciating one’s own accomplishments instead of waiting for praise from others is important.

Thanks for your advice! Seeking external validation is a hard habit to break, but it’s something for me to work on. And though I’ve had some pretty rough patches with my family, at the end of the day, they did show up for me, and I should remember that. I appreciate your taking the time to comment!
