The most important way to make people uncomfortable

Is to express your gratitude specifically.

We tend to keep our thanks and praise to ourselves or keep them vague, thinking the other person knows how we feel and why. Really though, we hold back because intimate, authentic conversations feel vulnerable and therefore uncomfortable.

On the last day of the year, risk making yourself and others uncomfortable by letting them know how any why you appreciate them. Bonus points if it is in person or on the phone instead of over text.
