Where’s my atta-girl?

You’ve just completed a major project, or even a simple dinner. At the end, there was silence. No applause. No thank you. Not even an “atta-girl”.

When I find myself here, I wish I could say I’m fine.
Unfortunately, I’m not all the way there yet. This “getting-past-performing” girl still gets stuck if the thanks or compliments never come. Here is where I am finding help.
