The noted psychologist and philosopher William James, also brother of novelist Henry, said that the core human emotional need is affirmation. People want to be truly "seen" and acknowledged. This is pretty easy to do by listening and paying attention.
Ask,
“How are you?” and mean it!
Ask
someone how their day is going and make their reply into a conversation.
Sometimes people want to talk more than they let on and your interest will show
them you care. One day, you’ll get the chance to tell some kind-hearted person
exactly how YOU are. Your answer to that question might not always be pretty
but it will feel wonderful to be heard.
