ex-colleague messages to tell me my name and work are rather well-known (i suppose in the relevant circles) and well-liked (an even smaller circle perhaps). sufficient also for her to want to use some of said work in pc class. had to thank her for the compliment, but not entirely sure what to make of that.
apparently some people take to flattery, genuine or otherwise, very well. others display the english or asian reserve. or perhaps we can attribute this hesitation to ruined childhood and other low self-esteem or harsh perfectionist cliches. i think the optimal solution is graciousness to self - but i'm no expert on that, so.
