Wow, that is alot of information, glad your day was this good, and I'm asking because it feels a bit nice yknow.
Some people could have had a good day but nobody to share it with, or a bad day and nobody to talk to, I'm not gaining anything though ๐
I definitely don't believe that last statement. People don't just randomly do things without getting something out of it.
But you actually answered me, what you're getting out of it is the possibility of making other people feel good/better, the thought of which makes you feel good. That is what you're getting out of it. You said "it feels a bit nice yknow".
Why do you say you're getting something out of it ("feels a bit nice") and then at the same time say "I'm not gaining anything"? This is a direct contradiction.
Why are you grilling them? It's better than making others feel bad to make yourself feel better...
Don't answer if you don't like the question. Why be a dck about it?
Where am I "grilling them"? I'm just asking about their motivation. Is that wrong?
Oh my bad then, yeah I do gain that, the feeling of making somebody feel better inturn making me feel good is what I gain.
I said I don't gain anything because in the literal since, I'm not gaining information or anything physical really, but yeah ig I do gain something.
I see, makes sense :) interesting and lovely to hear.
How was your day?
