I could never count the number of times in my life I thought people were laughing with me. They weren't.

Almost a decade ago a random gal walking down the street with her friends told me that she liked my boots.

Now I don't hold back compliments cuz as long as it's clear there's no creepy strings attached, it doesn't hurt and it can make someone's day :)

I think back to a compliment I recieved once. Probably one of my more pleasant memories.

When I was in elementary school, a girl who was generally mean to me and everyone else told me I have nice teeth. That was over 10 years ago and I still vividly remember it.

Only time I've ever been "hit on" was when a really old lady (over 65 at least) at a local Moose club called me a "cutie"... Back when I was maybe 14 or 15. Even my past partners didn't give me compliments.

I got far more compliments from women (age 30+) when I was 14 than when I was 24. Got literally catcalled by a car full of women when I was 15.

Just doesn't feel right only getting compliments when underage :(

I work in hospitality. I get women multiple times a day asking if I sing, act or do radio work

Nothing makes me stfu faster than singing in my car while parked somewhere and having someone walk by, knock on the window and tell me they think I sound good.

Sorry, I'll stop.

A little kindness can go a long way. Remember to just compliment so. every once in a while, just for the sake of it. It could make their day.

I was working in a hotel kitchen and one of the waitresses told me I was more beautiful when I smiled. That was in like 2012 and I still remember it.
