I already know that this is a double-edged thing and that any day, any time, my parents might take back their congratulations and instead say that whatever I did was obviously easy for me so there's nothing to congratulate. Or, they might turn it around into a pessimism thing, saying that sure I did well once, but since I never put any effort into anything, it'll never amount to anything! Or worse, they might use the fact that I was unusually good at this against me somehow, like by asking how come I'm not as good at schoolwork, or sports, as I am at the violin?
