nr i tried to get something from you today. i told you i'd had lots of judgments and expectations put on me, and no appreciation or compliments, and that it's been hard to deal with. you said you wouldn't be someone who would judge me and that i should just be myself.

which is nice. but i wanted you to compliment me.

i know it's not fair that i set you up to say something i wanted. and it's not your fault you didn't, but i was disappointed. you never really compliment me in a real sense, unless it's about my appearance, so i guess i also wanted to give you an easy in, in case it's not the kind of thing you bring up easily on your own.

clearly it didn't work. i wonder sometimes what it is you like about me.
