give more compliments

i want to learn how to give compliments sometimes i have rly nice thoughts about some1 but cant seem 2 find the right words 2 sau 2 them

The hard part for me isn’t finding the compliment, but delivering it. I easily see the good in people, but I usually blush bright red when I’m telling them the compliment. Especially with boys, even if I don’t like them in that way at all.

I gave a compliment to a friend today and didn’t get all red. I’m just trying to get to the point where I can compliment my boyfriend without blushing so hard!

when I noticed how Nienke had the most amazing singing voice, her voice is really strong, but warm and lovely at the same time. I remember thinking, wow! I should tell her how much I love her voice, but then I forgot :(

I know how much compliments can really brighten my day. I really need compliments every now and then, and I was thinking.. when I think someone is gorgeous or has a great voice, or does something really good, or whatever, I should just come up to them and tell them!

I have done horribly with this goal so I am going to change things up a bit in an effort to make this part of my routine. I am adding this onto my daily 5 of 15 goal.

Sometimes I feel like being generous with compliments might put me in a vulnerable position. You know how people who are too gushy are sometimes a bit off-putting? It’s pretty obvious, though, that you’re only as vulnerable as you let yourself be. If you give compliments hoping for something in return, if you invest too much in the giving of compliments, then you might feel rejected if that gesture isn’t returned. But if you give for the joy of giving and don’t invest too much in it emotionally, then I guess that’s pretty terrific for everyone, isn’t it?!

I’m still hesitant to compliment total strangers but I do make an effort to compliment someone aloud when I think it to myself. Why keep it to myself? I know it’s nice to hear and why not brighten someone’s day? :)

Trying to compliment more people (always genuinely, though, I despise people who fake being nice so I would never fake a compliment).

It’s nice to see someone truly smile, especially when quite unexpected from a perfectly quiet stranger or classmate.

I want to seek out opportunities to give earned compliments / praise where it’s due – not just gratuitously give more compliments overall. Hat tip to LaurieJay whose goal in this area better articulated the objective!

efforts to give compliments more. I think as a result, I don’t think as much when I do it nowadays. Therefore, I don’t tend to remember when or if I do. Perhaps I should be more attentive again and start giving more compliments.

I often compliment my classmates, since I see them often, and it’s not hard to find something to compliment them on – they always have something cute or stylish on. If not, at least it’s something interesting I can remark on.

I haven’t complimented strangers lately as I haven’t really come into contact with any service workers or stuff – haven’t gone shopping.

I did compliment my friends on their food (they said my gyoza was good – it means I made a good selection since I didn’t actually MAKE the gyoza) last weekend. That was fun – we cooked together.

Also complimented someone else on her coat, which made her happy since she said it’s her favorite coat (for now).

I am not stingy with compliments but receiving a compliment always reminds me how good it feels to be appreciated by others. So I would like to make a conscious effort to dole them out more often.

My first full on effort was this weekend. I went to a birthday brunch for a dear friend on Sunday and although I didn’t have time to get her a personalized gift (gave a gift card) I did include a card chock full of compliments. I also toasted her “40 is the new black and damn you wear it well!” all the girls loved it and she was grinning from ear to ear.
