the worst feeling is humiliation at the reflection that you believed someones lies over an extended period. No one likes to feel like a sucker. and no one likes to be one because they trusted you.
On balance: the *best* feeling is satisfaction at turning someone else’s uneasiness or struggle into a warm interaction. It’s real-life alchemy, except the conversion of someones face from despair into comfort is goldier than real gold (i mean…it has less of an immediate exchange-rate value and all, but in the long run its worth so much more).
(excluding physical feelings from these. emotions only. otherwise id rate the best feeling as being…*thinks*… getting a blowjob and deep tissue massage while eating a slice of cheese pizza. mmm. #2girls1PapaJohns)
I had to walk to the grocery store today cuz my car is not currently available and there was an elderly man sitting in front who saw me and did the “quickly avert my eyes and act natural” thing cuz im a sweaty young dude in basketball shorts who is probably a douche and his lonely awkward stare being converted into a friendly interaction a la a “good afternoon” – “good afternoon! how are you?” – “im good, thank you” – “*now smiling* good!” was a day-maker. –if people would just be friendly to lone elderly people, i bet both of them would be 90% happier.
