My wife's smile in the morning. The world could be burning outside, but every single day she wakes up with the most sincere smile. That always puts me in the best of moods!

Let someone in when they’re trying to merge onto a busy freeway.

In American culture it’s all too common that personal time and vacation is undervalued or discouraged. For this reason when someone else is taking time off, or discussing taking time away from work for personal reasons I am very supportive. When someone returns this to me, I feel very respected and it usually makes me have a wonderful day.

A compliment. They don’t come often but when they do, they make my whole month.

Scratch my head. Whenever I'm in a bad mood my wife will give me a hug and run her fingers through my hair. It instantly relaxes and calms my nerves.

The beauty of zipper merging.

Someone greeting me with excitement and enthusiasm. There's so much wonderfulness in being welcomed.

Hand me food to eat.

Acknowledge me positively when entering a room. Neutral engagement or non-acknowledgment is not hurtful, but over time it erodes me. And when a person walks in and immediately says something critical before even saying hi, well, it's a goddamned wound.

All I'm asking is a brief smile, as if to say "hey, I don't hate that you're here."

Being laid back and jokey. If I feel like I can joke around with you and not take life too seriously with you, my stress (as an introvert) has really melted quite a bit.

When they say good morning and use my name.

Enjoying themselves.

Doesn't try to talk to me.
