Are you the kind who feed off acknowledgements or not? Do you get upset when people don't recognize your efforts?

[h0ney]

psychologically, people perform better with praises
but personally, i improve with pressure...so if i get acknowledgement too early or too easily, i get cocky and slack off
hehehe.. i know -o- its bad

[ShadowMax76]

lol. it makes me feel like i'm in kindergarten again. but eh. i like that feeling. LOL

_though.. i don't remember the last thing i put real effort into. >>" only thing that pops up is trying to make a Clown on a low-rate RO server. rofl. then the server randomly died one day. :(

answer. some reason i like being anonymous when it comes to doing deeds.

[AHLEENA]

No. I don't get upset o.o

Why help someone if all you want in it is recognition?
Might as well go try to win an award instead lol.

Ah sometimes I do, especially if someone gets recognized for it but not me. I know we don't do good deeds for publicity but it's always nice to be recognized for the things you do. I would still do good deeds even without being recognized. But there are people, like me, who usually don't get praised often so it's always nice to hear once in a while.

[*reminiscing.soul.]

I wouldn't want to be praised constantly, but once in a while is nice. It's nice to know people are still appreciating you, and not taking you for granted =]

I don't mind if a stranger does not thank me for helping them - that is, as long as they give me at least a smile.

Like the one time when I was in Bulk Barn and a lady was carrying a lot of stuff. She had a hard time getting the scooping thing out of of the "containers". I walked over and helped the lid open for her. She takes it out and walks away without even looking at me. I was quite annoyed by that.

The worst was this lady with her child at a bakery. Her child was in the stroller and the door to the bakery is quite heavy. There is also a step, so it was harder for her to get in. She was struggling with the door, so I walked across the bakery to go help her. I went outside and held the door opened. She goes in and starts talking to the employee as though the door was automatic. So when she was at the cashier, I sat on a seat facing the doorway. When she got to the door, I just looked at her and her child (her child was out of the stroller). I just sat there watching her struggle to get the door opened and the stroller outside.

Asian students at school aren't any better. I'm not saying that all Asians are like this, but a lot of the international students are quite rude. When they are on the opposite of the door, they expect you to open it for them. They don't even bother saying "thank-you". There have been so many times when I open the door (or my friend) and we are about to go in. They push their way through and don't even say sorry when they bang into us. I have seen them doing it to other students, too. It frustrates me a lot because even a sincere thank-you is better than no "manners" at all. I remember the time when a girl pushed her way through and my friend was in front of me. Her boyfriend stood aside to let us in, so his girlfriend pushes my friend again and drags him out with her. My friend screamed at them, but they didn't care as though we weren't even there.

Being noticed is nice, overly praised is.. Ah awkward lol.
It's always nice to get compliments, but I want to seem humble! (:

I work better when I don't get praise unless I really deserve it.
I don't like people praising just because they think they should.

[supa'Wanki]

I've never had anyone acknowledge my generous actions. Maybe if I was Bill Gates who donates billions of dollars, now that's a different story.

[kellyalster]

I don't get a lot of recognition for the things I do but everybody likes a little bit of positive reinforcement.

[Kiss Me]

I used to.
I always wanted to be recognized and made sure I did the good things when people were around.
How stupid I was. I guess it was mainly due to my insecurities, but I am way past that now.

[ThaiNote]

your purpose of doing things is not correct. do things not for recognition and pride.
do things because you want somebody to be better off because of you. And be HUMBLE.
those blessed are those who help not to get recognized but literally do it to help some1 else.


The greatest reward for helping some1 is knowing that you made some1's day better. now that's all that matters. who cares if your friends or parents know about it. humbleness is a characteristic missing in today's society.
