I offer compliments with some frequency,
23 months ago
But when it comes to complimenting someone on their appearance, or on personal qualities, I often feel akward to give them. I feel as if my compliment will be misunderstood as me hitting on someone, or as an expression of envy.
When I was young until just a couple of years ago, I was incredibly uncomfortable in social interactions, even those that are one-on-one. Though I’ve done a lot of work to counteract this, and am often described by friends of mine as sociable and outgoing, I obviously have some work to do, or this would not yet be a problem.
