I struggle with giving people praise. There's always this little voice in my head that says I'm being presumptuous, that I'm not good enough at <whatever> to be commenting on others' efforts, that they don't give a damn what I think, that it will come across as patronizing. I try to err on the side of praising anyway, but I never feel 100% comfortable. Anyone else?

I also have trouble accepting praise, but that's a whole different set of issues.

@Obdurodon I have decided a long time ago to lean heavily on the verbose thanks & praises.

  1. It all started with me wishing to get any sort of feedback. Even a thank you.
  2. I read quite a bit about feedback loops (positive, negative, etc.)
  3. Through 1on1, I've got confirmation that others are looking for feedback as a form of guidance all the time
  4. I haven't met anyone yet who told me to stop doing it.
