Take the compliments at face value. You’re hearing you killed it from lots of people because you legitimately killed it. Whenever I tell a colleague they did well it’s because they did, especially if they’re in a new role/going above and beyond what I’ve seen from them before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/that-thing-when-you-feel-good-after-a-presentation#post-2893751 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 19:26:52 +0000 gotkimchi 2893751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: ya fuck the negative self talk. You killed it. Walk around with the confidence of a middle aged white man :silly: they’d just be like high fiving and getting beers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/that-thing-when-you-feel-good-after-a-presentation#post-2893750 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 19:13:11 +0000 Madison43 2893750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: umm, I’ve literally never felt the need to tell someone that they did a good job after a presentation unless they did an actual good job. Don’t overthink it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/that-thing-when-you-feel-good-after-a-presentation#post-2893747 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 18:45:26 +0000 SweetCaroline 2893747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: I think also, when people give compliments like that, they are like "dang, that had to have been nerve wracking, that must have been hard!" When I have heard it, it seemed to me it was coming from a place of empathy and admiration rather than sympathy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/that-thing-when-you-feel-good-after-a-presentation#post-2893745 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 18:31:28 +0000 Kaohinani 2893745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: I was going to say EXACTLY what @pachamama: said ... then I read her response [so I am in no way "original" here. 😉😂 - she is correct, though!] I'll just state: " Yeah, that!...." [in agreement with PachaMama] and say that I am certain you performed beautifully if you were able to even [remotely] garnish an accolade. 😁👏 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/that-thing-when-you-feel-good-after-a-presentation#post-2893744 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 18:26:57 +0000 pachamama 2893744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now, wait a minute!!! They said you did a good job! Why not take that at face value?? 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/that-thing-when-you-feel-good-after-a-presentation#post-2893741 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 17:50:34 +0000 Corduroy 2893741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...and then too many people tell you reassuringly that you did a good job. And you realize you must have come across and nervous and unsure of yourself if so many people felt the need to reassure you afterwards. </p> <p>I just had that happen and I hate that. I really thought I did a legitimate good job. </p>
