    18 years ago after deciding to give complements more often, I got my car's alignment fixed and forgot to compliment the mechanic on his interesting eye color. When he left a voicemail about additional work the car might need, I left one in return which was "No Thanks" to the work, and that he should take off his glasses more often to show off his eyes. He called back and we set up our first date (which we celebrate as our anniversary). That compliment has brought me more joy than I could have ever expected.

      @@gumija same here, and now that my 9 year old son is also being really harsh on himself I figured it was time for a change. So at dinner we each give a compliment for someone else and a compliment to ourselves. Some days are harder than others, but once you get started it gets easier and we're all a little bit more positive about ourselves now. It also motivated my daughter to do something that she was anxious about because I told her if she tried it that it would make a great compliment. It also doesn't have to be big and all encompassing baby at the center of the universe level complimenting either, some days its just as tiny as having accomplished a simple goal like taking out the trash.

    Andy Warhol said something once about acknowledging the awkward before anyone else does. It’s a useful tactic.

    There is a really good book called "How to Talk so Kids and Listen and Listen so Kids can Talk", that Anna Akana talked about in one of her videos that I have now read thanks to her. In the book, the authors point out that we, as humans, we are not taught very well on how to speak compassionately towards one another. We don't listen well and respond with, how Craig put it, "me mememem ME me me me me". At a young age we aren't taught to give compliments to people, or acknowledge correctly people's problems without giving our own feedback.
    It's a good book and this is a great video/experiment that everyone should do every day.

    Many people aren’t good at receiving compliments. The proper response to a sincere compliment is, “Thank you”. I hesitate to compliment sometimes because some people will argue and make me feel bad for saying it. For example: Compliment: “Nice shirt”. Response: “ Really? I literally pulled it out of the trash.”

      I was scolded about this once when I was a kid, and it really made an impression on me. I learned that when you reject a person's compliment, you're not just "being humble" the way you think; you're actually questioning their judgment in giving you a compliment in the first place. It's much better to accept the compliment at face value, which has the benefit of making you feel better as well.

    this is so funny to me, because as a southerner, genuine, heartfelt compliments are common, even among strangers (or at least in my community and the people i surround myself with). compliments have always improved my relationships and day-to-day existence. i literally cannot imagine being myself without giving shameless compliments. it's not weird unless you make it weird !!!! i'm complimenting you, craig, on your courage on starting your own compliment journey. let the warm fuzzies commence !!!!!!!!!

      I heard this advice a while back ago: if you’re complimenting someone you don’t know well, compliment their taste, not their body. So, “your sweater is so fun!” Or “I love Stephen King, too!” and NOT “your eyes are like the darkest of chocolates” or “ooh, your skin is so soft.” You can stretch and merge them with people you know a little better (“I like your haircut”).

    So, might be a reflection of my own internal paranoia but I think that when someone you know randomly compliments something you're wearing as soon as you see them it's more that they think what you're wearing is striking, not necessarily that they genuinely like it on you. Like my 1980s blouse with art deco pink embroidery. The immediate response is "Wow, I love your top, is it vintage?" Translation "Wow, what a top, that's bold, it caught my eye. It can't be trendy."

  • @pcru6851
    @pcru6851 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I took a personality test. What I really remembered was it stated I held back my affection. So I started being more affectionate to my immediate family. Saying I love you, hugging, giving kisses on the cheek, if I sat next to them. I would lay my head on their shoulder or encourage them to lay their head on mine. It felt very werid to me to do that.
    At first, everyone keep giving me the "what do you want" side eye. I told my mom I love you with a hug and a cheek kiss. She actually cried. Saying she felt I didn't love her as much as she loves me.
    All my relationships, have gotten closer. Especially, my kids. I have noticed they are more confident, laughing more, and so far every other day we watch a movie. We all take turns picking a movie. They show me what they like. I show them movies that have always stuck with me through childhood. We are all are more affectionate.

    I'm a big f***ing complementer, I'm really a serial complementer, even to people I barely know. It's true that it is a little bit too humbling and you'll always find people that put you down and/or people that aren't really into being complemented (especially by another person with whom they don't have a close relationship).
    Having said that, I'd still recommend to everyone to do it anyway. People who actually like it tend to bond with you so much faster and it all feels way more natural than a 'normal' relationship. Besides, being humble and a good person to be around overall are awesome traits.

    I find giving compliments hard because some how the people recieving them will either not belive it or warp the meaning to something I never intended.
    Someone pointed this out to me once and I didn't even know back handed compliments were a thing till he explained what that was. Totally never something I intentionally did. And I think constructive critisium can easily be taken as a back handed compliment. The idea behind both is you say something that is complimentory with something that could be improved on. In some cases people might only hear the critical part or think the compliment is less genuine.
    Personally, the way I see it is no one is perfect, we could all improve to some degree. And giving a compliment with a critsium softens the blow of this needs to improve than just straight up saying how much you suck at something. It doesn't sound disengenuis to me unless the critisium is in direct contradiction to the compliment.
