So normally people like me get extremely happy if you say something like ‘nice shirt’, however it got me wondering about people who receive compliments and gifts all the time, what makes y’all happy? I presume it gets kinda annoying after some time?

    I was never popular at school or uni. Kids called me fat, gay, a loser, a bitch, a fat-gay-bitch loser, etc., but now I’m probably the most popular and best-liked guy at my job, I don’t mean to brag but that’s just how it is. The thing that makes me happiest is being self-employed and not having to deal with those assholes ever again.

      I was never “popular” in school, but I got on pretty well with pretty much everyone. The “popular” kids were actually a pretty small, insular crowd that didn’t actually like almost anyone. I kinda figured that’s what it was like everywhere.
