That’s great, Nancy, and I’m sure Jessica appreciates that.
I think one common source of miscommunication is people have different ways of expressing their appreciation according to their primary love language (see Gary Chapman’s “5 Love Languages,” where he lists the five languages as quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch), and this can cause misunderstandings not only online (where we are lacking the biological cues used to interpret meaning and tone) but also with in-person relationships. Understanding that can clear up a lot of confusion and help heal relationships that have been fissured by different expressions and perceptions of love.
I chose to become a paid subscriber to show my appreciation and dedication.
