In high school, I was just kinda vibing by myself, and a girl came up to me and struck up a brief conversation.

"You don't seem to care what other people think about you. I wish I could be like that." Which I assume was intended as a compliment.

In retrospect, it seems like it was probably in part an advance with reserved romantic intent. In retrospect I probably got a surprising amount of that, I was very socially oblivious back then and some situations make more sense to me now.

That one probably sticks out to me the most because back then I didn't get many compliments. As I've gotten older, more savvy, more skilled, and more confident, I get so many compliments that they just kinda fade into the background. Combine that with deliberately trying to be humble, and they get forgotten pretty quickly.
