🟢 They listen to understand, not just to respond.
🟢 They honor your boundaries without making you explain them like a courtroom witness.
🟢 Your joy doesn’t threaten them—it inspires them.
🟢 They don’t just say “I support you”—they show up when it counts.
🟢 They take accountability without making it about how bad they feel.
🟢 They celebrate your growth, even when it means you outgrow old patterns.
🟢 You feel safe being soft around them.
🟢 They don’t treat kindness like a transaction.
🟢 Your peace increases, not decreases, in their presence.

🟢 They give you space to feel, without rushing you to “fix” it.
🟢 They don’t weaponize your past against you.
🟢 They speak to you with the same respect whether others are watching or not.
🟢 They remember the little things you said in passing.
🟢 You don’t feel smaller in their presence—you feel seen.
🟢 They allow for silence without making it awkward or heavy.
🟢 When they make a mistake, they don’t deflect—they adjust.
🟢 They uplift others without needing the spotlight.
🟢 They don’t confuse control with care.
🟢 You feel more like yourself around them—not less.

✨ Sometimes, green flags don’t wave loudly.
Sometimes they whisper, “You’re safe now.”
Pay attention. Your nervous system notices what your heart is learning to believe.
