Sometimes, Not Giving Compliments Can Be a Sign of Love

It’s interesting to think about how our perceptions shape our feelings, and author Mia Turner shares a great example in her writing. She talks about her childhood and how she felt upset that her father never told her she was beautiful. But then she reflects on how her grandmother approached the same situation differently.

A Different Perspective

Turner mentions how her grandmother, who lost her mother at a young age, often interpreted the lack of praise as a way to protect her from vanity. She wrote, “Dear Grandma, you always focused on keeping me away from anything that could harm my sense of humility.” This perspective is powerful. It highlights how we can choose to see a situation in a more compassionate light, even when it’s hard.

Struggling with Perspective

I’ll admit, I struggle with this too. Often, I find myself feeling salty or resentful when things don’t go my way. Sometimes, I think I even enjoy wallowing in those feelings instead of looking for a brighter side. It reminds me of something writer Samira Blake said in a letter about maturity and understanding. She pointed out that true growth comes from not being quick to judge others’ actions and instead finding explanations that come from a place of love.

Changing Our Experience

Finding those charitable explanations can really change how we experience our relationships. If you want to dive deeper into this topic, check out this post on how to interpret actions lovingly. It’s a good reminder that how we choose to view things can really affect our happiness.
