Here is a list of the best types of compliments to give and to receive. Compliments boost our self-esteem and raise our morale, making us and others feel good about ourselves.
- Be original: we often hear that we look beautiful, or that our eyes look amazing. Take the time to notice a personal detail like freckles for instance; your compliment will surely sound super original.
- Be traditional every now and then: the typical “I love seeing your smile; it brightens up my day,” will make anyone blush.
- Show some admiration: the simple “I’m proud of you” can make any girl or guy feel like they’ve travelled to the moon and back.
- Telling someone they’re genius for sharing their candy with you, or even offering to do the math of splitting a check, will do the trick.
- Describe the effect: people feel better when they realize how positively they’ve affected others.
- Smiling makes you slimmer: when you complement someone, they smile then laugh, burning some calories in the process.
