When someone genuinely believes that I did a really good job at something that I know I worked hard on, I love a compliment.

My fiancee gives me compliments all the time and It makes me cring slightly because I feel that he's only saying it because he wants to make me happy, and it dosn't feel like real praise for something I worked hard on.

I like to give praise, but I hate getting it for some reason :S
