It's like everyone is living by completely different rules and standards than I am and it's extremely disorienting and does not, in fact, make me feel good. It makes me feel great unease and uncertainty, as well as a lack of motivation. Can it be ok to give constructive criticism? To not positively validate everything? I would say I am not that fragile but after acclimating to this cultural terror of a lack of compliments, maybe I am.
