I have mixed feelings about being praised by T. On the one hand, I love making T proud. It is highly motivating and warming to hear T tell me that something I've done was well done. On the other hand, being told "good job" is a bit annoying, because it doesn't feel personal or connecting or motivating. I like when T says specifically "you did a good job when you _____" because that is specific. I like when T says "you should be proud of yourself for _____" because I need to hear that. I don't know what I do that is worth celebrating, so when T stops to celebrate, I listen.
