Tell people the good thoughts you have about them. Thank them for what they've brought into your life. Share with them the good effects they've left in their wake.

We need to hear these things. We need to hear that our friends love us, and that our presence in the lives of others has meaning and weight.

Be that person who earnestly shares their feelings instead of making jokes, even just for a few special people.

The sheer kindness of folks I've met here is humbling.

Emotional support. Material support. Sharing of time, knowledge, goods, advice, perspective, gifts and *hope* that we can bring what makes these spaces special back out into the world with us.

I've learned so much from you and my life is better with all of you in it. Thank you. :blobaww:

@mwlucas this is a horrifying combination of words for a CW

If someone tells you they're suffering from depression and you'd like to make them feel better, choose *any* topic other than their work or hobby accomplishments. They're probably finding it really hard to work on those, so you're pointing out that their merits as a human being center on a current failing.

Even if it's someone you only know through their work, there's plenty of encouragement and warmth to be shared by complimenting their past conduct, openness or kindness.
