      I've never met anyone in my life who didn't know something unique and special that no one else I know knows. I wish you all shared your beautiful ideas more freely! We're here to listen ✨

      It’s often hard to know what we have that is unique and special! People should spend more time *telling someone what their special knowledge is* to help them see it

      Something about people doing that rubs me the wrong way. They’re often badly wrong and it ends up being annoying rather than flattering. A better strategy is to let them know how something they said/did benefitted you and leave the reflecting on strengths to them.

      If someone tells me their take and they’re badly wrong, I either know right away and/or I have an avenue for a specific reevaluation. It can be both annoying and productive in this case

      My heuristic is basically the praise/positive version of this thing called the SBI method of criticism/negative feedback. Mature adults typically dislike identity pigeonholing in both directions.https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/situation-behavior-impact-feedback.htm …

      I think we’re describing different scenarios my model for this scenario is: - I want this type of advice and see how it is useful to me - I respect the person’s judgement and/or knowledge of me - I want there to be an easy/safe way to receive advice from them on my strengths

      Yeah, that’s a rarer situation in the right kind of relationship. Like when I finished thesis, my advisor said by way of parting advice something like “you have originality” which others before/since have said. Powerful validation coming from him, meh/negative from most people.

      In that case because he himself was a highly original guy (RIP) and I understood his tastes in originality in research quite well and didn’t think I’d measure up. So it surprised me in a positive way.
