I asked you guys what compliment you& #39;d like to hear, and the answers I got taught me a lot of things. Most of us don& #39;t need sweeping declarations or over-the-top comments - Most people just want to feel loved, seen, heard, and appreciated. That& #39;s really it. (1/6)
Some people want to be told they look nice. Some want to be told they& #39;re kind, or funny, or creative. For some people, the compliment was more of an assurance: "You matter. You& #39;re enough. You& #39;re special to me. I& #39;m here for you." Simple things, but they mean so much. (2/6)
Some people thrive on how they make others feel: "You make me feel safe. You remind me of home. I am grateful to you for all you do for me." But in the end, it& #39;s all branches of the same tree. We are social creatures. We thrive on feedback, validation, affection and trust. (3/6)
Today, tell someone how special they are to you. Tell them they& #39;re hot, or sweet, or funny as hell. Tell them they matter, and you appreciate them. Even if they brush it off, it& #39;ll mean something. Not everyone is great at accepting compliments, but we still WANT them. (4/6)
Let people know that they& #39;re in your life for a reason. Remind them why you enjoy their company. Be specific if you can; let them know you really do see them. That compliment might make their whole day, or even their whole week. Crazy how such a small thing can be so big. (5/6)
