Your hair tastes good, that sort of thing.
I could see this hurt her.
I still remember the way she'd look after such an insult.
Why, 42 years later, am I still thinking about her?
Relative to most of the kids, I was actually pretty nice to her.
I never said an unkind word to her.
In fact, I sometimes even mildly defended her.
But still, it bothers me.
So here's something I know to be true, although it's a little corny, and I don't quite know what to do with it.
What I regret most in my life are failures of kindness.
I appreciate it.
What do you mean by that term?
Mattering is feeling valued by other people.
So you feel that you are seen and heard and valued and really cared about so that people would miss you if you were no longer around.
And that is a feeling that can be one that really sticks with you and influences other positive feelings.
The physical side is important to underscore because there are now about 10 studies indicating that mattering is associated with better health, both in terms of subjective self-reports, but also in terms of some objective indicators such as blood pressure, heart functioning, body chemicals, and so on.
But also it's related to our positive feelings.
It predicts happiness and engagement and enjoyment and
at extreme levels, pure and unadulterated joy.
But the flip side of that, of course, is when we don't feel that sense, then we'd be prone to anxiety and depression, loneliness, and other negative mental health states.
