I think it would be a nice idea to talk about what your weirdest compliment has been and what people love about you as a person.
Mine was my closest friend commenting that I smell like nothing
. I'm autistic and hypersensitive to smell so wash at least three times a day but only shower once every two days (usually in the morning because I'm conscious about sweating during the night) and while I still think that I smell. I can smell my own body odor apparently no one else can and that makes me feel amazing because I am paranoid about that.
Same friend while drunk kept commenting on how I wear my heart on my sleeve and love everyone and everything with a ferocity she'd never encountered before, she did also comment on my difficulty/refusal to allow others to love me in return but she understands why that is but mainly that she and our other friends and even my/our acquaintances know that all they need to do is send a message saying they're sad or ill or just need a friend and I'll be on my way over to mother/fuss over or feed them before I've finished reading the message. Which she understands where that comes from after she met my mother and aunt and some of my sisters and we're all very much that way inclined.
A different friend and housemate who was upset the other night about her uni assignment stress said that I'm a great hugger because I'm so nice and squashy but strong and solid so you can feel the strength in me when I hug, like I'm hugging with everything I have and will continue to do so until all of their hurt goes away. Almost like I'm trying to physically hold them together and piece them back together with force of will and love alone. Which was also nice because I don't often hug others because I can never tell if they are ok with it or not.
A different housemate calls me a 'church lady in training' (houseful of Christians so not a dig) which is someone who works with the kids groups, bakes and volunteers for the church regularly and who can engage non-christians in chats about the lord and bring them to church with an ease most people can't because I'm always so upfront and smiley. Which I'm not but apparently the image I give is a positive person whos always available for a chat about anything but I think that's just because I'm northern
. He has also commented that I am a vulcan and far more pragmatic and logical than a human has any reason to be but my response to that is Autism
.
Another housemate refers to me as the insane flat mum. Which I'm not gonna argue with because it fits. Luckily the rest of the house is just as nutty as I am.
Different housemate seeks me out as a sounding board late at night to talk about relationships in every and any form and how to deal with things and confronting things that he has difficulty with due to lack of knowledge and exposure. His dad is a minister and his views have been shaped on a lot of old fashioned doctrine that the bible actually says very little about and we've been working through that and he's doing a lot better when faced with these things and is happier for it.
