Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ve actually written the thank-you out, but the thought of sitting across from them and reading it aloud to their face makes me want to just text it instead
- I’ve written the letter and now I’m frozen on what to do with it
- People around me do helpful things all the time and I feel the appreciation but it just stays in my head
- The one person I most wish I’d thanked is gone now, and I carry this ache of words I never got to say
- The second someone genuinely thanks me I rush to brush it off
