So this weird thing has happened
In the last few days people I’ve interacted with in some public/semi-organized/social-type contexts have said some sincere-sounding and really nice things about me. Like, I’ve been engaged in some sort of collective activity, and just by doing my own thing like I tend to do (because I’m an off-the-charts introvert, so even when engaging in group activity I’m usually pretty focused on the activity itself, rather than the group dynamic), I’ve made some small but significant contributions, and people have noticed, and made a point of giving me positive feedback, and seeming genuinely appreciative.
It makes me a little anxious, honestly, because I feel like some sort of balancing will have to happen, and the universe will get me back for feeling like I’ve accomplished something. But mostly it’s just a really nice feeling to unexpectedly get that kind of validation.
Thanks, universe. I’m just going to try to appreciate this feeling. Hopefully I’ll be able to remember it when things aren’t going so well.
