#5 straight girls, play with your boys' hair, or their hands. Tell them they're handsome physically, or beautiful, or pretty, or cute, or whatever you think. Speak aloud the parts of them that you love - not just the inner stuff, but the outer stuff, too. A good amount of boys and men never receive that kind of attention, and they will remember it forever.

#5 I went to a Chinese fastfood place with a friend and one of the women behind the counter noticed me and my beard and stated how nice it was and how she wanted to run her fingers through it but couldn't because she handles food so she had to restrain the want. That happened around 18 years ago and I still remember it.

#5 my ex was deaf, and we were driving with my mother some place with her sitting behind me. She reached around and place her hand on my chest while i was talking, then whispered to me over the headrest that feeling the vibrations made her at peace and safe.
It probably is the warmest, softest and heartfelt thing ive ever heard in my life, from anyone. For once i felt like i actually mattered to someone. I dearly miss her...

#3 A decent suggestion. What if a person has less than fuzzy feeling about themselves? Or a different understanding of the meaning of love?

Then fall back upon the Golden Rule - treat others the way you wish you could be treated. Be the kindness you wish you could see in the world. If you don't want kindness in the world, I don't think you can be helped.
PattieHelmuth
Then they need to get over it. Everyone knows exactly what that phrase means and being in a fit of constant self-pity doesn't excuse you from being a decent person.
rabbihimself
Well said. Being kind isn’t calculus. It’s just right.
100PercentOrganicCringe
Imagine, if you will, two people. One is harsh towards themselves and says things like 'get over it' when another person has a problem, as he believes he himself is fundamentally undeserving of love, or, indeed, help. Another is gentle toward themselves, and when another has a problem will say things like 'how can I help'?

#8 i wish I could've been such a good brother growing up.

If you weren't such a great brother, there were reasons for that. I presume that you didn't have the energy for such things because you had other issues to deal with. You can only ever do as much as your own strength allows.

Long story short, Highly dysfunctional family, 1st Gen American. There was a lot of bullshit to sift through to be fairer to myself. I still regret those things I couldn't really help. They deserved better. We all did. Things aren't so bad for any of us now, but none of us could have seen this outcome, due to aversion or different beliefs. And you're right I did the best I could for everyone. And it showed. Thank you nokia for reminding me to forgive myself for the umpteenth time lol
shinoharaliz
You were good in other ways I'll bet you don't even realize. Ask them what they remember.
EekumBokumEekumBokum
They're not the type to answer questions like that. But thank you for the kind words
shinoharaliz
I certainly don't know enough about your family to say that you're wrong, but mightn't it be worth a try? if the relationship's that shaky as it is, what if you got to lose?
EekumBokumEekumBokum
The thing is I have tried plenty. And things are likely as good as they're gonna get. They have no desire to rehash things and just tell me not to worry about it. My door is always open to them should they decide they want to go further with the past in any way. Now its up to them to decide if its worth pursuing or not. Reality is it's not up to me. And we still have love for one another. Maybe when they're older and more settled.
shinoharaliz
The caring and the concern speak well for you. I don't know you at all, but I have no doubt that you're a good person
