How do you react to people retweeting stuff that praises them? Like if I were to retweet somebody saying "@xuenay's essay is really cool everyone should read it". I see other people doing this but feel kinda weird about doing it myself. Not sure if I should?

Replying to @xuenay
I don't do it because it feels weird. But also it doesn't come across negatively at all to me when other people do it, if anything I enjoy seeing who else likes what and how they describe it. So maybe I should

@_awbery_ would say there is a vast UK/US divide on this issue. Often shocked by my self-promotion, although my impression is it’s well within US norms. (Of course I could be hideously wrong and everyone thinks I’m embarrassing)3 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -
Agree there's a big difference, I often think 'um... you can just SAY that??' reading Americans here I don't see a problem with the way you retweet fwiw, generally you're signal-boosting someone saying something thoughtful about your stuff rather than generic 'yay awesome!'

I’m becoming incrementally more American in this respect since being here, it’ll be interesting to see how far that goes. Statements I once found cringe-worthy seem less so now. Tho I confess I’m still cautious applying the principle to myself. I’m still a Mumblybrit at heart.
