Re: what's your favorite compliment you've received?

(Anonymous) 2021-08-23 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
I should feel bad about this one because it's rooted in a sexist stereotype, but I was really happy when a guy at work told me in front of a group of our other coworkers that "You have the best control over your emotions of any woman I've ever met."

It just felt good to hear because at a different job, another coworker who I didn't get along with played the "It's her fault because she's too emotional" card against me to HR when we had a private meeting that was supposed to be about fixing our work relationship. I am naturally emotional, but I try really hard to keep it in when it's not appropriate to show, and I was always pretty sure I was good at it and that that coworker who didn't like me thought she could use the "emotional" accusation because of my age and the fact that I'm softspoken (she was also female, but much older and assertive). So that compliment made me feel reassured that she'd been wrong and my efforts to reign in my emotions really did work.
