"Awhile back, we shared a video talking about how if you notice something nice about someone, it's more than okay to say it out loud. What happened to the art of the compliment? Are we worried about appearing weird or cringe? When did we stop letting people know that we're into something they said or did, or what they're wearing, or how their hair looks? If you're worried about coming off too strong, let this Thread we found put you at ease: people love receiving compliments."
"The OP of the post, @mariostokez, shared "I was shopping with my mom a few years back and some lady walked up to us with her daughter (she looked about my age, a lil older) and she said my lashes are way more beautiful than any other ladies real or fake lashes. And then she walked off and her daughter was mean mugging tf outta me😂😂""
""Last week, my daughter told me she was proud of me. It's not something I heard a lot growing up. meant so much because not only did I accomplish something in my new career (2nd act that started at age 43), but I've raised someone who has heard enough pride and compliments in her life that she wants to give that to others," another said."
Many people hold back from giving compliments due to fear of seeming awkward or cringe. A request for compliments that "stuck" generated hundreds of heartfelt replies describing moments that lingered. Examples ranged from a stranger praising eyelashes to friends comparing laughter to a "soundbath of sunshine," a daughter expressing pride, and a pediatrician praising a child and parent. Respondents emphasized that brief, sincere remarks can be profoundly validating, strengthen relationships, and evoke strong emotions. Compliments frequently affirm personal qualities, accomplishments, and parenting efforts and are widely cherished by recipients.
