Compliments and nice things to say

Normally I’m not interested in inflating people’s egos. So if someone on my social media is the type to constantly give off the vibe “COMPLIMENT ME AND TELL ME HOW AMAZING BEAUTIFUL HANDSOME SEXY
I AM!!!!” and posting every 37 minutes I usually ignore it. However, after thinking about it I guess I realize that some people who do that might be in a bad place in their life at the moment, feeling defeated and low. Maybe they need the constant validation because they aren’t getting it anywhere else, or they just need a big dose of it to feel alive or worthy. They don’t mean to be annoying about it. And I also realize that many people who deserve it don’t get any compliments at all, whether online or in real life. No nice things are said about them, and that’s not right. So this is the thread where we say nice things to anyone and everyone, mfp people or real life people or to yourself. Nobody needs to know who it’s about. Maybe it’s that tired looking lady on the bus and you wished you had said “your jacket is lovely”, but you didn’t say it. Say it here and maybe someone will read it and remember to say something to a tired looking lady they see on their bus! Pass on the kindness. Life can be hard. It’s simple to say a kind word and pass on a smile. DO IT!!!

    I said I liked your boots and when I said it your smile brightened your whole face. It was a nice smile, and made you look beautiful, even tho I don’t know you.

    I remember when you were alive you saying you felt 'invisible'.
    I wish you knew all the lovely things people are saying about you now that you've passed away.
    You were appreciated and valued way more than you ever realized.

    OP, I really like this. We need to spread these things more often. I hope this inspires people to say these things aloud :)

    Sometimes i study random people to see what makes them uniquely beautiful. Like in an airport or something. And there’s always something. Everyone has their ‘thing’ that is so endearing and sexy and human. I have had to stop myself from telling strangers their thing that makes them beautiful to me. Maybe I shouldn’t. Maybe it’s worth the risk of a punch to the face for being creepy.

    Please tell them.

    There is always something, you’re right.

    I do tell people often. Sometimes I feel stupid when I get the disdainful why are you talking to me look, but mostly it’s well received.

    Once I told a lady she had such flawless skin and her husband turned to her and said, “I told you!” I floated for hours on that.

    I tell random strangers compliments all the time and have never once been punched in the face.

    I feel creepy for noticing things about people that I want to tell them about too, I often blurt it out, I'm a random blurter.

    Have never had anyone react bad so far, sometimes theres a bit of awkwardness.

    I figure, worst case, they'll just feel sorry for you for being an "over-sharer"!
    ...or they will cross the street the next time they see you and avoid eye contact at all costs!

    That’s when you yell across the street at them “I was just kidding....that scarf looks like it was knitted with pubes and armpit hair!”

    The lady who answered the phone when I called in my take out order tonight called me Honey. Then she called me Honey in person when I came in. I love terms of endearment.

    I like it from some people, some I resent it from.
    Guess I shouldn't, most people mean it in a kind manner, it's just my perspective of feeling patronized sometimes I guess.

    Definitely it has to come from someone with the right intentions.

    It’s worth it. Even if it’s awkward. Even if they don’t seem to receive it well. It’s worth it.
