DOES CONSIDERATION NEED TO BE LOUD FOR IT TO BE VALID?

Hey UN•THERAPIST,
We need your help UN•THERAPIZING something…
Have you ever had a craving for something you haven’t had in a long time, and when you finally got it, it just didn’t hit the way you remembered?
Maybe it tasted different.
Maybe the excitement built it up in your mind.
Maybe the memory was better than the reality.
We kicked things off with a conversation about nostalgic foods, but it led us into something deeper.
📌 Does consideration need to be done out loud for it to be valid?
📌 When someone considers your feelings, your time, or your position, do they have to announce it for it to count?
📌 Do they have to say, “I thought about you when I made this decision,” for you to believe it happened?
Because sometimes people consider us quietly.
They adjust things behind the scenes. They make small decisions with you in mind. They move differently because they care. But since it’s not spoken out loud, it can easily be interpreted as the opposite.
So the question becomes:
📌 Do we only recognize consideration when it’s visible?
📌 Does it only count if it’s verbalized?
📌 Or is quiet consideration still consideration?
Because if someone never tells you they thought about you, does that mean they didn’t?
Join us for another session of UN•THERAPY as we UN•THERAPIZE silent consideration, expectations in relationships, nostalgic cravings that don’t hit the same anymore, and whether acknowledgment is required for thoughtfulness to count.
