Aries

speech to him was a task, a battle, words mustered behind his beard and issued one at a time, heavy and square like tanks.

Margaret Atwood, Surfacing

When someone praises you for something you did without thinking, the compliment sits wrong because it names effort where there was only speed. You know immediately that they have misread the moment, mistaken your natural reflex for careful work. The wrongness is about being seen for your effort instead of your ease, like being congratulated for breathing well or walking in a straight line. What feels most true about you is what you do before you think to do it, and praise for that automatic part sounds like praise for the wrong person entirely.
