I once had 1500 upvotes on Reddit for something, don't even remember what. I'm a celebrity now.

It’s about exposure potential and ease. Saying it in real life is harder and much less likely. You are also exposed to a fraction of the amount of people. Not disagreeing but that’s why

I think the reason why being complimented by strangers feels so nice is because it used to happen to you as a kid alllll the time. Happens to my kids all the time for dumb shit you’d never compliment an adult for. I bet people take that for granted when they are kids and only notice it’s missing when it stops happening to them as they get older.

Man here, I am still riding the following highs:
2 months ago, a cashier told me that my leather jacket was cool
~5 years ago, another cashier said she thought my outfit looked was nice
~7 years ago, a clerk at a deli told me that I had a nice voice
Come to any part of China that isnt Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen. You can be the most average looking American and even in the most scenic locations on the planet random folks will ask to take pictures with you or just of you and tell you youre beautiful.

I bought a new hat about 5 years ago. In the first year, I had a young woman tell me she liked my hat (random passerby in a supermarket), but she giggled as she said it. I spent the next long while wondering if she was being genuine and she was just nervous about saying something, or if she was making fun of me and had said it ironically. (She was with someone else, so that seemed to make the latter more likely).
A few months ago, an elderly woman at the pharmacy told me she liked my hat, and that one I knew was genuine.
I haven't left the house without that hat since. Still riding that high, too.
In 2011, I worked at a company that was near a small local sandwich shop, and I'd go in there frequently for lunch. At one point, when I got back to the office, I found that they clerks had written in sharpie on the bag something to the effect of, "You're always so bright and cheery when you come in here, we love your attitude!" Made my year. I still have that bag in a box in the closet.
What kind of hat was it?

Two people told me the salad I was making at the grocery store salad bar looked good. I was like damn. I’m really good at making salads.
Don't knock yourself down! I'm sure your glitter is great too!

If "social media" is telling you that, then stop seeing "social media". Only spend time with those that pump you up.
You are wonderful, just the way you are.

Can confirm. In Chengdu and Guilin, last week. And right, my only distinguishing feature is being 6 foot, 2 inches.

Last week at work two different people walked by me at lunch and said “your sandwiches always look amazing” and I literally can’t shut up about that now.

There was a lady who came in my store regularly. You could tell she put a lot of work into herself. I mean, it had to take her hours to get ready every morning.
She always seemed so sad. Not rude or anything, just depressed or something.
It took me more than a month to work up the courage to say it, but one day I got the guts and I said, “Hey, I’ve been wanting to say this to you but I know how men can be and I’ve stopped myself a hundred times. I’m not hitting on you, I’m married. I just have to tell you that you are one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen in my life and I just love the way you dress and do your makeup. You’re always a pleasant sight.”
I never seen that woman with a sad look on her face again.
Had another customer, very old lady. Very hateful. Always in a rush but doing everything so slow. One of the meanest looking people I’ve ever known. I didn’t see her smile for years. She was probably about 85 years old.
One day I said to her, “You know, you’re one of my absolute favorite customers. I’m always happy to see you coming.”
She looked up at me with that mean face and flashed a short smile. I had never seen her smile before that. She didn’t say anything, just smiled.
Every time she came in after that she’d be her usual mean looking self, but she’d always smile at me and then go right back to grumbling.

Tell me everything about your amazing sandwiches
On Sara Lee Artisano bread, in this order:
Yellow mustard
Two slices of oven roasted turkey breast
One slice of cheese (baby Swiss or Gouda)
Another slice of turkey
Another slice of cheese
Green or red leaf lettuce
A thick slice of beefsteak tomato
Onion
MayoI pack the lettuce tomato and onion in a separate zip top bag and add them to the sandwich right before eating it. Makes all the difference.
I randomly made this the first time I actually took my lunch to work and at the first bite was like “FUCK that’s a good sandwich” and I’ve taken the exact same thing every day for weeks now.

I briefly tried making YouTube videos (didn’t really stop for any reason other than my usual inability to stick with anything) and when I got a handful of views and comments my reaction was “wait who the fuck is watching this?”

Every Monday night I do a radio show. Most weeks I get about 15 people listening, and have had to work really hard to stay at a place where I'm happy that it's as many as that.
Time is fleeting, we don't get back what we've used, so it blows my mind that 15 people choose to spend two hours of their week listening to my bullshit. Sure, I'd like it to be more, but I'll take what I can get.
