The ones who do make everyone they know feel blessed to have them in their lives. It doesn’t even require grand gestures when they can show their heart through the little things they say.
People who say these phrases regularly make others feel truly blessed to know them
1. ‘I feel lucky to know you’

It’s nearly impossible to hear this phrase and not feel special. It’s really powerful when someone goes out of their way to say how much someone means to them.
Psychiatrist Dr. Alex Dimitriu said, “A good friend is someone who shows up, listens well, shares in your joys, and supports you through challenges without judgment.” Based on this definition, anyone who uses this phrase is definitely a good friend. That’s the kind of person everyone wants in their life.
2. ‘Take care of yourself’
Our culture has turned self-care into an elaborate event instead of what it literally means. A lot of people have a hard time taking care of themselves because they think it needs to be a big deal and takes lots of time and money.
The truth is, taking care of yourself is as simple as getting enough sleep and eating well. People who make it a point to remind their loved ones to do that are always appreciated. It serves as a reminder that someone else really does care about how they treat themselves.
3. ‘I’m here and I’m listening’
Good listeners are really giving others a gift. When someone who’s talking knows they’re being listened to, they feel calmer and are able to reflect on their own words more. There aren’t many people out there who really care enough to slow down and listen to someone else, though.
That’s why anyone who does know this kind of person feels blessed. Whether they need serious advice or just want to vent about something that doesn’t really matter, they know that person is there for them and ready to hear them out fully.
4. ‘I’m glad you’re here’
It sounds so simple for someone to let their friend know they’re glad to see them, but it has a big impact. It’s easier to express gratitude than it is to accept it because it makes people feel like they’re trying to live up to some kind of expectation that they’ll fall short of eventually.
That’s why people who feel like a blessing make sure they let others know they feel that way about them, too. They know what it’s like to feel loved and they want to reciprocate that.
5. ‘How are you really doing?’

Almost everyone has gotten used to saying they’re doing fine whenever someone asks. It’s an automatic reflex because if people honestly answered the question, they would have to acknowledge the problems they have.
Some people ask their friends how they are because it’s a polite thing to do, but others really want to check in. They make it clear that their loved ones can tell them the truth, even if it’s messy, with their rare ability to make people feel safe.
6. ‘I believe you’
The world has become a pretty skeptical place, which is understandable because of all of the misinformation we see every day. That makes it harder to believe in both people and ideas, though.
Still, trust is an essential part of all relationships. Someone who tells a friend that they believe them is providing them with the emotional validation they need. That’s why they’ll feel so blessed to know them.
7. ‘I’m so proud of you’
This seems like such a small thing for someone to say, but it actually means a lot. Not many people are willing to admit when they’re proud of someone else because our natural instinct is to compare ourselves to others. Being proud of their accomplishments can feel like a threat.
The people who can say they’re proud of their friends aren’t necessarily more confident than everyone else. The real difference is that they care so much that they can’t imagine feeling any other way, which is truly something special.
8. ‘I really appreciate everything you do’
It’s not that hard to thank someone when they do something nice, but that’s not the same thing as appreciation. Instead of just referring to one moment, appreciation is more like recognizing all the ways someone makes life better.
Not many people are able to even see the big picture enough to think about that. When they do, it signals that they care on a deeper level than most people. That’s why they feel like a blessing.
9. ‘Let me know how I can help’

People don’t usually readily offer help like this because it means they’re committing to doing something that they don’t know the details about. Since most people also feel uncomfortable asking for help, that means no one is working together as well as they could be.
When someone makes people feel blessed to know them, they show their generosity by giving them a standing invitation to ask for their assistance with anything and by checking in when they think that help could be most needed. They always show up for the people who are important to them.
