Candidly, anytime my girlfriend pays me a compliment. Especially - but not only - when it comes to sex.
If she tells me I'm a good dad - we have three children. If she says after we have sex that it made her feel especially good. If she compliments something I wrote. (I, in part, write for a living.) If she thanks me for helping around the house. If she tells me I look handsome or sexy.
It is less what I am getting the compliment for, than who it is who is complimenting me. My girlfriend - and my kids - can make me feel ten feet tall.

You ask for it;
1. When someone says thank you for your kind words, I feel like my ego is satisfied that it is virtuous.
2. When inspiring creative thoughts, and they say wow i never thought of it like that before. I have abilities to change people's thinking! so ego goes up.
3. When someone is struggling with depression and I look through pages and pages of sites to try and find creative ways to help them if i wasn't creative enough. I pretend I'm creative so they trust me! Feeds my ego because yeah I trick them!
Honestly I love going out on the street because people often stare at me... I’m quite an attractive woman, blue eyed and light brown hair, well proportioned hourglass body and stylish... I get my kicks from being noticed.
Noticing that my efforts in getting the attentions of people I want to be noticed by (them being my employer, guys or whatever) are noticed.
Compliments compliments compliments about my personality looks smarts etc.

It's pretty nice to be complemented on any facial structure, jawline and nose bridge for me. Body compliments are very motivational they just make you wanna keep pumping more iron. Sexual compliments make you feel great for a long time.
Also friends. If you have loyal friends damn man it'd be an honour to get into a scrap with them win or lose against someone and that gives you an ego knowing the bullies at pubs end up flattened if they grab one of my mates.
You could also quick look in your trousers bang ego boost but this might do the opposite too.When I get things right, which unfortunately does not happen that often... And random girls and guys that pay me a compliment. Like how someone liked my labyrinth shirt from hot topic. But I assume with the exception of the T-shirt that most people feel that way
I'm 38 and I had this little 20 year old girl flirting and hitting on me all night the other night I didn't fuck her even though I could have cause me and her got drunk together but it made me feel alive again that's for sure knowing that a young girl like her wanted to just jump right on it it was so hot lol
Having some nice jays and nikes to rock with my casual clothing, having lost 35 pounds over a year ago and looking fit as fuck and going to the gym four to five days a week. Learning postgresql JavaScript html google analytics and other useful tech skills to make myself a bit more marketable
Ego boosts are subjective and what might boost someone else's ego may not boost yours or visa versa. Therefore, you'll have to do some research and see what boosts your ego. However, if you're still lost, try Googling common ego boosts or ways to boost your ego which will be tremendously helpful in your ego quest.
When I make people smile or if a stranger smiles at me. Biggest ego boost ever.
Or when my boyfriend calls me hot. Cause I don't really think I am but 🤷♀️Ego? I threw that weak concept out. I live to serve. Whether that means a single person or the entire species is ENTIRELY up to me. I'm only as important as I deem myself.
My biggest ego boost is when I work hard on something and succeed.
Any compliment is nice but I actually LOVE compliments on myself as a person, like personality wise.
1. when people call me a hippy
2. when people compliment how cute/warm/sweet i am (i literally melt)
3. i've been asked if i was camgirl a few times and it made me feel good lolNot much except a woman's smile and that one time I hit a game-winning shot in the face of a trash talking defender.
When I succeed in anything or receive a compliment.
When I meet a major target or achieve everything I set out to do in a day
Actually getting stuff done.
People I want attention from actually giving it.
That's about it, I don't trust complements.When people see what I have done right or I have managed to affect someone positively
Credible compliments.
Achievements/successes.
To some limited degree: thinking about past achievements.When I solve a difficult math problem. But then I get stuck on the next one and so my ego goes back to its default setting.
When a lady talks to me besides "I'm ready to order now" and "aw, thank you"...
When I parallel park in two moves it makes me feel like a freaking god
Generally...
Being told I'm special, being rewarded for helping people out, among other things.
