    Pretty much. Adding to this, whoever ask the "Am I doing fine/good?"-question has very likely probability of meeting an echo chamber. If you're a healer or tank that's doing their bare minimum effort? That's certainly almost 100% to get an echo chamber.

    I do see those self-affirming question as an opportunity to slip in tips, subtly or not. I.e. "You're fine. We didn't wipe. But if it helps you, relying more onto <insert ability> will make your lives immensely easier!"

    Works like a charm.
