    Woah, hold on. There’s something here.

    It’s a business transaction, sure. But the social interaction, while to us seems like sarcastic exaggerating, is humorous complimenting. In order to do that, it has to be language you can use frequently and honestly.

    This is doing wonders for his mental health, likely because part of his thoughts are “what could I say to make ME feel more complimented than that.” He’s actively using positive self talk unconsciously.

        There it is, the negative sarcastic tone I’m used to on the internet. I got a weird warm feeling reading all that stuff in front of your comment. Thank you for putting me down to reality again. Well done, sir.
