Go out of your way to give people positive feedback.

When someone makes you laugh or learn, tell them.

It's easy to assume they know, but they really might not.

One of my problems with my real-world friends and semi-online friends is that I'm viewed as cold and distant. Kind of on the spectrum, one might say.

I incorrectly assume that since I like their stuff, they must know I like their stuff, which isn't always the case. Instead they're more like, "wtf is Lyn thinking?" In other words, I'm semi-retarded at personal interactions. I'd like more people to know how much I like what they do.

Online or offline, whenever it's comfortable, tell people they're doing good work. Say hi. Tell them thanks. Give gratitude.

Nostr does this better than Twitter, from my experience. Keep it up, lads and lasses.

My girlfriend is soooo similar. She speaks her love and appreciation for me with her actions so I still feel appreciated and I better understand her touch of tism.

Thanks Lyn, as ever l love your powerful and on target insight, boldness just to put it out there and wisdom. This is just one such example. Praise and gratitude are so easy to give and they, almost spookily make the world a better place for everyone. It is such an important thing to do. If you ...

Creative people are always on the spectrum. It’s axiomatic. Else every beige at the centre of the bell curve would be creative.

Like this advice a lot, thanks
BR Bitcoinapolis · 102w
Yes and actually 'thank people' if they help you, including teachers, police, doctors, nurses, and financial geniuses on the spectrum. (I have thanked you repeatedly and have never heard a word. It's different with some of the more personable Bitcoin celebrities but it can be construed as distant. I...

In the same vein, I can’t tell you how important it has been in my life for friends to give me encouragement along the way, mostly when I was ready to give up. Like a transfusion of courage. Miraculous!

Sats paa BTC · 102w
This is a great piece of advice. Thanks Lyn. I recently experienced this myself. After a lecture I gave someone from the audience approached during a break and told me how much he had liked what I had said. That made my day, and I told him a little later, how much it had meant to me that he had com...

The truth bombs you usually drop, and for which most bitcoiners I know appreciate you a lot, are about economics, markets & technology. This is also a truth bomb, but on a whole other level! Kudos 🙏

Just watched your interview with nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u - so uplifting! I’m pretty new to the BTC space but your depth and scope of knowledge is amazing. And a shout out to nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u too - yo...

nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a you certainly don’t come across as cold and distant in the podcasts and chats I’ve heard you in. Quite the opposite. Always very present, level-headed, and I doubt nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv...

Thanks for all you do Lyn, I've learned so much from you. Cold & Distant?? No way! I wouldn't watch all these Podcasts featuring you as a guest if that was the case. Thanks again!

You made my day at Madeira Lyn, taking the time for a chat, I will never forget that, friendly humble and brilliantly intelligent.

Hey, everything you’ve created or been involved with that I’ve seen has made my life better and for that I thank you
j'ai les clés · 101w
Hard disagree. We’ve met, briefly, at least three times. “Cold, distant, and semi-retarded” are NOT the words I have used to describe you. To wit, the words I’ve used are “warm, approachable, and giga-brained.” Thanks for everything you do, your intellect, and generosity. #grate...
