Do you see what other people see in you?

Here’s a couple of examples of the kind of thing I mean.

Someone really likes you a lot because they think you are a good father. Well one-third of all fathers are better than average but not great. That doesn’t really distinguish you from a lot of people. It can’t be that hard to find good fathers.

Or they might like you because they think you are a good listener. Well, duh. You don’t have to do anything to listen. Again, this hardly seems to distinguish you.

These are made-up examples, but you get the idea, I hope. It seems like a lot of the things people might like about you are a complete mystery as to why they find them so special.

Have people ever found things they really like in you that you think are just ordinary and common? Nothing to particularly distinguish you from anyone else? What is that thing (or things)? Why do you think other people think they are so great?
