Needing to pull a last resort 2

[Ready2Change]

I could tell she was starting to get annoyed from her short responses ("Mmmhmm, yep.") so, I explained that I'm trying to grow as a person and so I'm trying to work on being more aware of things I should be thankful for and expressing my gratitude. She said I didn't have to do it anymore.

I have been where you are. I see three things:

#1) she doesn't believe your changes are real. She sees them as manipulative.
#2) You should stop explaining. That sets you back. Make changes. Do not talk about them.
#3) Keep doing it. It is the right thing to do. Do not let her control you.

How she responds should not be your measuring stick.

Your measuring stick should be internal. Did I make a positive change in my behavior? Plus one. Did I do something I know I should not have done? Minus one.
