Do you give compliments?
I try to give at least one sincere compliment to someone each day. I think most of us like compliments. They can put a spring in your step, a smile on your face, and lift your spirits. 😊
If I am visiting a church I always compliment and thank them for the music when the service is over. I have complimented people I know & strangers on hair and clothes. I will compliment the cook, whether it be family, friends, or the chef at a restaurant. I give compliments to our neighbors on their landscaping & gardens. I have also posted compliments to people on this forum and to others on Twitter. I gave lots of compliments to my students when I was teaching.
Is there anything you get lots of compliments on?
I get lots of compliments on my singing at church and other venues. I also get compliments when I bake and share my mom's homemade cookies. Sometimes people compliment me on my outfits.

Thank you's to me are different than compliments. They may or may not be included with compliments.
I compliment only those I think are deserving. I must think they are very talented, dressed beautifully, do an exceptional job beyond what most others are capable of doing.
I once had a landscaper who had talent above and beyond anyone I had seen. He received compliments from me. It's not easy to find someone who will trim the shrubs, and do the edging exactly the way I want.
Some singers are exceptional, others are good, but not even close.
Some women know themselves so well, they choose colors, styles, that are perfect for them. They get compliments. I won't compliment someone's shirt even if I like it when it doesn't look good on them.
Casual compliments to too many people lack sincerity.
Actually, I don't care if no one compliments me. I know when I've done something well, am wearing an outfit that flatters me.
I do thank people who compliment me, though.

I truly enjoy giving compliments, I believe they are one of the easiest ways to make someone's day. In these difficult times I am always trying to do something that can put a smile on someone elses face. You never know what someone else is dealing with or what kind of news they may have received, so a kind gesture or words may be what helps them get through the day. And it costs nothing.

People STARE and don't say anything. I feel the same way about THEM....

I try to compliment people, even those I don't know. I know how good I feel when a complete stranger happens to compliment me. It makes my day.

I do give compliments when I feel something is special for any reason.
