I don’t really like compliments. I do not handle people giving a compliment to me well. Give me constructive criticism any day of the week. Compliments will send me into a spiral. I will ask myself;
What is it they are not saying? What did they not like?
To me, actions mean more than words.
The Visit
So I suppose the greatest compliment in my memory was one that happened this week. I was running a card tournament (Android Netrunner Draft) and a group of the old role players from the store heard about it. They all showed up just to say hi. Without the store, we only catch up with a lot of work. To see them all was weird but nice. It showed they valued the game I ran for them and also the store meant something to them.
A short and somewhat sweet one today. Keep on rolling!
