Compliments

 

Hey Guys x

 

I've been thinking about compliments a lot in the past few weeks.

 

I don't think I give a lot of compliments. I mean, if I see that a friend has gone out of their way to look nice, or if they're wearing something that I haven't seen before and really like, I obviously tell them. And they do the same for me.

 

But if I see someone that I don't really talk to, and it's obvious that they've made an effort to look nice, I don't really tell them, mainly because I don't know them well enough or I think that they'll find it a bit weird if I say something to them, because they don't know me that well either.

 

However, there is a girl in one of my classes who I don't really speak to, but she has an amazing sense of style.

 

It's not like I don't like her, she's a really nice girl and I do like her, I just don't necessarily speak to her that often.

 

Anyway, she was in my form room and we were having a conversation, and I just decided to give her a compliment. I told her that she looks nice every day and has a really good sense of style. She responded by telling me that I had really made, quite a shitty day, better for her, which really made me feel good.

 

I think that it's really good to give people compliments.

 

With first hand knowledge, I know just how great I feel if someone gives me a compliment. Especially if I'm having a bad day or just aren't feeling that confident in my outfit, it just makes me feel really good about myself, and it makes me feel good about the person complimenting me.

 

Personally, I'm the kind of person where, if you say something horrible to me, I remember it forever and will never manage to let it go. But it's the same with compliments.

 

If someone compliments me or makes me feel good about myself, I also remember it forever.

 

So I think that you should all use this post as an excuse to give someone a compliment.

 

Whether it's your best friend, someone that you don't talk to, or someone that you've never met.

 

Even if you just leave a nice message on someone's blog, I'm sure it will make them feel good about themselves and about you too.

 

And if they look at you weirdly, laugh, or don't reply to you, who cares? You've done something really nice and if they don't appreciate it, it's they're loss!

 

Give someone a compliment!

Compliment someone in the comments below that you can't compliment in real life.

 

I'll start: M, we don't talk, but your style is amazing and I really admire it!
