On this Forum is about the only place I seem to get compliments, that I can recall. In life, I rarely get them, other than a "thank you" for something I have done to help someone, along with a "You are so kind to do this for me, I really appreciate it".
Then I heard that another person hearing this one person who compliments me got ticked off that this elderly person keeps thanking me and acknowledging me for helping her! I eat up this compliment from my elderly friend, I crave it. And when I heard that this other person was annoyed by it, I said I did not care, and that my elderly friend's compliments were greatly appreciated by me because I so rarely get compliments. So she continues to compliment me, even though this other person gets annoyed by it and I am happy she does so anyway.
I love compliments and acknowledgements. I wish I got more of them, but I guess there is not much in my life or about me that is worth acknowledging.
