106. How could you show someone how much he or she means to you? (05/28/2023)

I give them the gift of truth. I am listening, helping, and giving advice to most people. To the ones that mean dear to me, I will open up about myself to them. I rarely talk about myself since I am the one listening 90% of the time. By opening up, I am showing a side of myself that I don’t show to most people. In doing so, I also help them open up and allow our relationships to mature. That way, when I tell them I care about them, they know I mean it. I will actively check up on them to see if they need any help whether its academics, work, or personal life. Opening up allows those discussions to happen. I will also become very annoying as I constantly pressure them to tackle their problems. If my friend needs help in dating, I take him to a club and be his wingman. If he/she needs somebody to talk to, I go to where they at and we have a long talk over some McDonald’s (my treat of course). If he/she is struggling with homework, I drag them to tutoring in campus and study alongside them. For those that mean a lot to me, I become more open and go the extra mile for them. I don’t just tell them, “I care about you”, I show it with my actions.
