Little Things !!!

I am sure we’ve all heard of this “little things matter” but how much do they matter? do we let them matter? how do we know if the things that matter to others also matter that much to us or vice versa?

Have you ever been in a situation where someone close to you .. for whom almost everything matters … and that person (gf/bf, husuband/wife, parent, friend) will hear you out in the worst of your times but when you talk about small things one thing comes up or another and if you try to let them know this that these little things do matter to you all you end up hearing is ‘but it’s just a lil thing’? and you also feel stupid for even making it such an issue.. but wat if this happens over and over again?

and by little things i mean simple things.. maybe talking about your day… or telling a joke.. or a TV show.. or some song…

how do we deal with such situation? esp if you know that the person really cares for u.. but for the person little things are just that… little.. and they don’t matter much

Ya think relationships fall apart this way? is this even a good reason for a relationship to fall apart? or is the person asking for little things to matter asking for too much?

Re: Little Things !!!

in my autobiography i have always tried never to make an issue of little or big things ,

but care for the little towards others :slight_smile:
only god knows how much was i good at it

but then that is my style of living . you can chose your own :bb:

Re: Little Things !!!

its hard because it sounds like this person does love you, but maybe they dont realise that their stand off-ishness is bothering you? and i mean, really bothering you? thats not a good thing. im not sure if relationships fall apart because of it- that depends on the people in it. but i'd say, talk to this person straight up and tell them these things do matter to you, you care about this other person and would like to share this with them, and their not caring is bothering you and hurting you. sometimes we think people are listening and picking up on things, but thats not true. after all, no one can read someone else's mind, no matter how well you know them, and sometimes you just need to say it for them to get it.

does that make sense?
