Active Listening: Practice being fully present during conversations, really hearing what the other person is saying without thinking about your response while they speak.
Empathy: Put yourself in the other person’s shoes to understand their perspective and emotions.
Conflict Resolution: Understand that disagreements are a natural part of relationships. Focus on resolving them constructively by focusing on the issue, not attacking the person.
Improve Communication and Boundary-Setting

Nonviolent Communication: This involves expressing yourself in a way that minimizes defensiveness and encourages open dialogue.
Setting and Maintaining Boundaries: Understand your limits and communicate them calmly and assertively. Boundaries are about respecting yourself and others.
Develop the Ability to Provide Internal Validation (Instead of Seeking External Approval)
Self-Reflection: Develop a habit of checking in with yourself about how you feel and whether you are acting in alignment with your values.
Inner Confidence: Practice affirming your worth, regardless of external opinions. The more you trust yourself, the less you rely on validation from others.
Gratitude Practices: Regularly focus on things you're grateful for in your life. This fosters a mindset that appreciates where you are and who you are, rather than seeking validation from others.
