I have mixed feelings after reading that post...having bath like that seems like valuable experience, but if our world would be normal, we wouldn't need to hear positive things from strangers - our families and friends would give us all reasuring we need. People of today have strange problem with saying things like ''I love you, you are important'' to their close ones...but asking strangers for affirmation looks a little...desperate (no offense). And one more things - all affirmations in the world means nothing if you are unable to believe in them.
