Expressing gratitude is the method you choose that can significantly impact all aspects of your life. Walsh et al. (2022) highlighted that the private expressions of thanks can create a deeper emotional connection. Thoughtful text messages will be just as effective as face to face for the most part. Public acknowledgments on any platform is a good idea. Always make sure to tailor your gratitude to the personality becouse that is all that matters, not the medium.
