I love receiving kudos. I get that wonderful "yay people are paying attention to meee!" feeling without the obligation of "eep I'm supposed to respond to this and apparently she loved the side detail that kinda showed up by accident; do I tell her I almost cut that part or let her believe it was always crucial to the story in my head?" Kudos are always low-stress interactions.
