This is purely a self-serving ego thread... I'll say that upfront so you can skip over it if you want I just love attention.. i love it in general.. but when there are groups of people looking to me I love it.. On another forum, was sharing little ideas and the like.. I gots the following wuv ^_^ " What a spontaneous outpouring of carefully studied wisdom But then you have the advantage of still retaining your youth whereas an age enfeebled old soak like me has to rely upon the reportage of others' spontaneous homilies " "who stuck an old head on such young shoulders ?" Some other things too.. Ah.. Me loves attention. Like fuzzy puppy loves cuddles! .. I'm done

Double rainbows.
Yesterday, a guy came into my work. He had a broken hand and was complaining that he was losing his mind with boredom. We talked a bit, (I had just met him), and he told me he drives a tow truck. So, he kinda fit the stereotype. Big, bulky, kinda macho.
Well, me and my big mouth, I told him the angels are happiest when we are expressing ourselves creatively. I told him to go to the art store across the street and pick up some art supplies that appealed to him specifically. I suggested all the things he could be expressing.
He looked at me, told me I was crazy in an awesome way, and then went out the door to the art supply shop. I know that this opened a rusty door in his mind, and it's likely that for a moment, I made a positive difference in a stranger's life.
A couple hours later, a double rainbow showed up outside my door.

Wow Rad, congrats, good to know you're getting good feedback. =) I'm proud of you. ^_^
Hmm well compliments always make me happy, but especially from people I respect, when someone I really look up to (like the current love of my life) turns to me and says that they expect great things from me, or that I offered a new and interesting perspective on something, or they love my piano music, it makes me swell with happiness because then I know that I am making progress. Also, doing things for others makes me really happy, even though I know that probably sounds really cliche, but whenever I go shopping I always find myself spending more money on gifts for other people than for me because I can never find anything I really feel like I need, but I see lots of things that I think my friends or family would enjoy.
And this is going to sound even more weird, but I love studying and learning, even though I hate the tasks at school. =P Learning some new piece of interesting information just makes me feel great, especially when it spurs some new philisophical thoughts in my head that maybe answer a question I'd been pondering.
Hmm other than that, meditation, prayer, and being in nature are big ones too. =)

I agree entirely! Thats why I carry a notebook around, so I can write down stuff that sparks an interesting idea ^_^

There are only a few things which make me truly happy. Doing things for others and receiving compliments are always things that create a lot of happiness within me... but I'm probably at my happiest best when I'm doing something creative. I've got this really obsessive mood when I'm doing something creative. It's like all the contents of my head are pouring down into the artwork and I feel that my emotions just intertwine with the work so that when I'm finished I can say that I just made a picture or wrote something which is a part of my soul. It is the only form of therapy which has ever worked for me because the ideas in my head are constant and don't need to be explained to anyone. Just putting them onto the paper in an art-like way is enough to tell everyone who I am and stuff. ^-^ These creative outbursts make me so unbelievably happy and it is even more rewarding if I receive little compliments on the work I did. But all of that creativeness has got its downside... I suddenly discover that I'm a huge perfectionist... so most of my ideas are thrown into a corner of the room and actually being happy with something I created over a long period of time is a rarity. But because this radiant happiness is so rare, it makes it even more rewarding to feel it once in a while.

when a stranger compliments my voice... in the mall...at the bank (a few times), at stoplights in my car (a few times)... it helps me to keep on track of my goal, helps me believe that I really can sing for a living.
when I dispense advice, and it helps.
