Coping Skills: Encouragement
Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. This is the current list of coping skills.
10. Encourage others.

Re: Yes ...
(Anonymous) 2021-09-04 06:57 am (UTC)(link)I know someone who insists that the caregivee in a familial caregiver/caregiver relationship should say please and thank you instead of just going "do this, do that, I want..."
I insist that my volunteering clients don't just hand me a pile of work and wander off - I want them to stay and be part of the process of my untangling red tape (which also helps if I need information or permissions from them.)
One of the medical people always in and out of the house and I have a mutual "I appreciate [X-extra-effort thing you did]" sort of exchange every so often.
And back when I worked retail, we would really notice the people who treated us nicely, like people, instead of like NPC characters. Nowadays, customer service folks seem really surprised when I wish them a good rest of their shift or similar.
