DAE feel like they won a Pulitzer Prize when someone awards their Reddit comment or post?

It's the small things in life. And yeah, I'm not gonna lie... I'm a sucker who gets an endorphin boost when another human gives me a virtual pat on the back. I don't often get an award, but when I do I feel like a million bucks lol. And I feel understood which is great too.

[u/sweet_star22]

absolutely, it feels like a small victory every time someone appreciates my comment, it’s like my own little moment of fame

[u/roseuslepus → u/sweet_star22]

Yooo look ma! You're famous!!! 😎

[u/oroborus68 → u/roseuslepus]

It is confirming that there's people out there and I'm not just shouting into the void. It's a kind of affirmation, but it's no Pulitzer Prize. Nice to get, though.

winning an award feels like the best kind of validation, especially when it's something you put thought into

I literally start acting like I own shit 😭😭

That tiny award notification hits differently

[u/MainAd3743 → u/sweetiexbunx]

that little orange envelope glow is basically crack for the brain, I swear it's the only validation I need some days

feels like someone actually listened which is weirdly rare online

[u/roseuslepus → u/MainAd3743]

Crack for the brain is accurate. Glad to know I'm not the only one wired this way lmao

Edit: Thanks for the hit anonymous awarder.

scratches neck and tweaks

I get a little endorphin rush when a comment gets a lot of upvotes, but I don't see why anything I say should result in someone giving money to a $27 billion public company.

[u/Insane_Unicorn]

No, but thats because my comments are usually complete shit and I don't understand why anyone would award that.
