Unlock the Secret Language of Socially Intelligent People: 7 Phrases That Instantly Make Others Feel Valued
1) “I appreciate you because…”
Everyone likes to feel appreciated, but generic gratitude can sometimes feel empty.
Socially intelligent people go a step further by making their appreciation specific.
Instead of just saying, “I appreciate you,” try, “I appreciate you because you always take the time to listen.”
This small change makes your words feel more personal and meaningful.
When people hear exactly why they’re valued, it reinforces their strengths and deepens their connection with you.
So, when appreciation feels genuine, it becomes even more powerful.
