This thread is honestly extremely depressing. Y'all gotta learn to give yourselves a bit more credit and have confidence that you have at least some impact on those around you. I still think of my friend from pre-K occasionally and I barely remember what he looked like, all I have are nebulous memories of good times. You all have someone who thinks of you at least to that extent.

And it can be cool to tell people who are living in your head rent free for good reasons. I have a processing impairment which made most math extremely difficult. I was assigned a peer tutor in my class when I was 10 who was sweet, patient and tried to help me. After finding out about the impairment in my 40s, i saw her at a school reunion. I thanked her for her help and patience. She didn’t realize how much she helped me and it made her feel good to hear that from me.

And I was a pretty quiet and shy kid in high school, but I made another classmate laugh and have such a good time on a school trip she told her kids about it.
