clacke: inhibited exhausted pixie dream boy πΈπͺππ°ππI love when people spontaneously acknowledge each other as people they look up to and appreciate.
I see it in the office when it's colleagues praising each other for "no reason" because they just haven't said it and it had to be said, like "oh thanks, that helps a lot, well, you always come through, always helpful, you should know that, but thanks again".
But of course with people who are seen more often, celebrities, it's also easier to happen to witness, and I feel like it's becoming more common? I'm not talking courtesy like "yeah, I was working with NN in this movie, such a great director", but someone already a superstar for years, a professional doing a hundred shows per year, meeting someone and getting obviously starstruck and gushing with very specific praise from them as a fellow performer, or front people lifting up their writers and crediting them.
A lot of the climate out there has become nastier, people taking pot shots on social media, political campaigns more negative than ever, but I feel like there's also been a rise in sincere public acts of kindness and warmth.
Is anyone else seeing this?
