And yeah, I feel kinda shallow answering that was, but it's just easier to hear nice things than bad things, because it means the person feels positively towards me and that's nicer than the opposite.
Indeed! Also, to me, something negative means potentially needing to do some work, because even if I think they're wrong, it still means that I may need to change how I act in order to not give that wrong impression. Something positive doesn't require any self-examination of potentially-painful behavioural adjustments.
