Replying to Avatar Lyn Alden

Go out of your way to give people positive feedback.

When someone makes you laugh or learn, tell them.

It's easy to assume they know, but they really might not.

One of my problems with my real-world friends and semi-online friends is that I'm viewed as cold and distant. Kind of on the spectrum, one might say.

I incorrectly assume that since I like their stuff, they must know I like their stuff, which isn't always the case. Instead they're more like, "wtf is Lyn thinking?" In other words, I'm semi-retarded at personal interactions. I'd like more people to know how much I like what they do.

Online or offline, whenever it's comfortable, tell people they're doing good work. Say hi. Tell them thanks. Give gratitude.

Nostr does this better than Twitter, from my experience. Keep it up, lads and lasses.

Yes and actually 'thank people' if they help you, including teachers, police, doctors, nurses, and financial geniuses on the spectrum. (I have thanked you repeatedly and have never heard a word. It's different with some of the more personable Bitcoin celebrities but it can be construed as distant. I know you are busy, we all are, but after years you could try and acknowledge one new person a day.)
