Compliments Encouraged by a recent conversation with a friend, I want to write a few words about giving and receiving compliments. Did you know that March 1 is World Compliment Day? To begin with, some basic rules of human culture must be followed in order to enjoy the use of compliments. You have to be really honest and you have to really think about what you say or write because all their value loses its meaning if those rules are not followed. It's a "must have." To be honest, I'll admit I'm a little selfish. When giving a compliment, a chemical reaction takes place in our brain, endorphin or the so-called happiness hormone is secreted. Well, consider me selfish, I will respect your attitude, but I just like to combine a pleasant feeling in my brain and body with someone's smile. As for that, I am, I am selfish. I admit it. Honesty first of all, remember? You know, it's not all that easy. A huge dose of self-control is needed because it is very easy to replace a compliment with offensive and insolent flattery if it is used excessively or not in accordance with the topic of conversation. Jealousy can also prevent us from enjoying compliments. It is not easy to admit to yourself that there are better and smarter people than us and to reward it with the words "Bravo, you are a better person than me and I admire you for this and that", choose the end yourself. Or something like that. By using compliments, we become better people and at the same time give happiness to another person. What could you do better than that? One thing I really want to emphasize. Never expect and seek feedback. By no means. Otherwise, everything loses value. Look at the act of giving a compliment as an act of giving a gift, as a gift that has a great advantage over the physical giving of a gift because it can be instantly transferred to a distance and used, and it does not cost us anything material. Other currencies are essential, honesty, good manners and good intentions. Well, my dears, how much does someone's smile caused by your compliment really mean to you ?

Really amazing 😄👍
I rarely give compliments and if I give it to a beautiful lady because she is nicely dressed and looks nice, and sometimes to a man who delights me with his appearance
As a man, I have to be more careful than you when I give compliments about physical appearance. There is a thin line between compliment and imposition. And maybe I'm afraid that the compliment will be accepted, so what should I do !? 🤭
I very rarely give compliments with direct words. I prefer to prove it bypass, but to understand it as a compliment and not have to say thank you.
You know, I learned to recognize the difference in the male-female way of thinking. I think that the type of compliment also changes depending on who gives it. After all, you are an extremely smart and eloquent person, so you can also play with rhetoric because you are there on a domestic, well-known field. I enjoyed reading your recent post where you touched on love, enjoyment of life and self-confidence: "I know there's something called real size. Simplicity. Pure heart, calm conscience. An outstretched hand to the one next to him. There are few who understand this. It's a great thing ...... ".
In my opinion, a clear conscience comes first, and then everything else. Approach things and people sincerely, friendly. After that comes love, respect and peace. Whether it refers to love between people of both sexes or love for a friend.
You have just confirmed what I wrote in a previous comment about you. A clear conscience is crucial. I agree. We've talked about it before. To the soul, we were more concerned with sincere repentance. Do you remember? You gave me a topic for observation and elaboration. You helped me find some forgotten things in myself that must never be forgotten. I will be eternally grateful to you for that.
You are always welcome.
