Are Your Feelings Being Validated?

I read this article and felt it was really important to share. When you are in a relationship or friendship there’s nothing worse than not having your feelings and emotions validated. People think this means agreeing with how someone feels but it actually doesn’t. It just means “acknowledging” what the other person is feeling. Try it, it could really help your relationships, friendships and ability to feel compassion for someone else while improving communication.
