A lot of people know how to comfort someone when they’re struggling.
Fewer people know how to genuinely celebrate them when they’re thriving.
And according to relationship research, that difference matters more than people realize.
Pay attention to the people who don’t just support your pain… but also make room for your joy, growth, success, and confidence without becoming distant, dismissive, or competitive.
That kind of response says a lot about the relationship.
