Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• People around me do helpful things all the time and I feel the appreciation but it just stays in my head
• There’s someone who quietly did something that really mattered to me and I never said a word
• When something goes well I tend to quietly absorb the credit or just say "great team effort," and I never actually name who did what
• I notice all the things my partner does that annoy me and almost never say out loud the things I’m grateful for
• Someone went out of their way for me and I fired off a quick "thanks!" and moved on, and I can tell it landed flat
