I do wish you would come visit one of the VOMs sometime, @Sheryl14 so you can see for yourself how safe and encouraging they are. Many times people joke about getting positive reinforcement even though it isn’t warranted. Of course, many of us believe that is true for ourselves, but none of us believe it is true for others. Joining TAC is a reason to be commended. Playing every day is a reason to be commended. Coming to a VOM just to listen is a reason to be commended. Playing in front of others, regardless of the performance, is a huge reason to be commended. Seeing progress in someone is an amazing high and gives us even more reason to shower someone with praise. It is always authentic and warranted no matter how we may feel when we are the ones showered with that praise. But hey, it sure does feel good even if we do think it is unwarranted.
