Feeling "supported" vs feeling "understood" vs feeling "valued " - I'm still working this over in my mind but this is loosely how my interactions with people have evolved over the years. I had friends who "supported" my identity at the time and while I felt "understood" that actually didn't do much to help achieve my goals. Once I began to build relationships that were based largely on exchange of value and the discussions of ideas/approaches - then growth began to happen. #grownostr #growyourself
