So coming home from work , there was a guy on the radio saying he had been asked to be the best man for someone and the god father to someone else's baby and said it give him an ego boost as he thought he was an idiot so just wondering what gives everyone else an ego boost?
It doesn't happen often but a couple times my daughter and also my step daughter have said "I learned that from you" when they are discussing life lessons. My step daughter has a drug addicted mother and I said something to her that helped her put it into perspective and not internalize it and my daughter it was about conflict resolution and understanding someone else may have another perspective.
The biggest one I've ever gotten was this year, at work.
My company recently began partnering with a company where I had previously worked for 10 years. Their Program Manager came out to meet the team and I'd never met him, but he made it a point to ask for me specifically, and tell me that he'd heard about me for years and that I was a "legend" at their company.
My husband told me I was the "best doctor he has" the other night. (I'm not a doctor. I don't even play one on TV. I just pay attention to medications, dosages, and the side effects from them.) I was happy that he knew I was doing my best to take care of him.
Oh that's so sweet,you must be going through so much with him.

When I was 22, and at the time a beautiful sexy 44 year old women that went to my gym started working out with me and mentoring me by showing me new workouts, and this went on strictly for about 4 months till it eventually lead to sex a handful of times and then it was over as quick as it started. No I didn't lose my virginity to her but she did teach me a few things in the bedroom and she was my first older women experience. The ego boost came when all my former highschool friends who also worked out at the gym saw me working out with her all the time. I look back at my 22 year old self now at 29 years old and wonder what the hell she really saw in me. I was less developed then I am now, didn't even have braces yet so my teeth were still crooked, and I didn't have as much confidence and experience as I do now (still a work in progress). Maybe it was my innocence that turned her on, I still had it then... At that time I was only 6-7 girls deep and really naive about the world.
She really broke me out of the boy shell and took me to that next level of manhood, so it was an ego boost in that sense.
When I was in my mid 40's I was coming home from work and my wife, my teenage daughter and her friend were talking in front of our house. My daughter's friend asked my wife, Who is that cute guy coming this way? My wife told her, that's my husband. My daughter's friend said, oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know. My wife and I had a laugh over it later. God bless my daughter's friend.
-That they have been watching me for so long and I am the happiest person they know.
-That I am the only person that doesn't bring them down when we chat on the phone...
(and drain them)...
-Being asked to be a Moderator here....and most every Forum I am on.
-OH!!!!,....from my militant, angry, atheist ex....after 6 months of knowing me....
"You're the most Christian person I have ever known." Yeah...that was the sweetest...coming from HIM!
(The secret of a great relationship...never nag...never try to change anything about him...ever.)

I got carded at the entrance to a restaurant/bar last year. I didn't have ID because I wasn't planning to drink and never expected to be carded. I hadn't entered a bar in about 15 years and figured there was no chance someone my age would get carded, even though I regularly got carded into my 30s, when I was last frequenting bars.
Yep, I got carded at 50. I was so shocked, I just went right back out the door! It wasn't one of those places that cards everyone, either.
