Oh, I see... You know... sometimes I feel that way too. But I've been told that I help more than I think - So I want to offer you that same advice. That may since it's embarrassing to be worried over, we focus on those moments more. But you may not realize all the little ways your words and actions may save people. Or give them a reason to smile that day, even when everything else is bad. I know that's how you make me feel.
You know, I could say the same about you, Maya. You're always willing to help others, and you're very sincere about it. You're very smart, and quite clever - I think what you have to say is worthwhile and should be listened to. You make people smile, and keep their spirits up. There's nothing about you that I would ever change, because I think you're brilliant. And I mean that sincerely.
I wouldn't say so. I think that our strengths are different, but we're about even. You don't need to compare yourself to others like that. But I do appreciate the support. It makes me feel better to know you think I'm powerful.
I think you're infinitely kinder than I am - and very sincere. Sometimes I'm too nervous to be like that. I wish I could be. So I think you're very brave.

[ it takes a few minutes to respond to this, purely because she's kind of overwhelmed by these kind words ]
[ it's pretty rare for her to hear anything like this... especially from someone she admires this much ]
