Both strangers or people you know?
In 2023? Are you trying to get to know HR and/or legal better or something?
Not enough.
I feel like i’m much more comfortable complimenting people I don’t know other than my gf most of the time despite being someone who likes to complimemt people. Even if it comes off as flirty apparently
Nice tits.
I’m joking. Never do that.
Edit: oh, how often. As soon as they do something I appriciate. It’s easy to be kind.
This is the way, it’s easy and at times even contagious!
@SnokenKeekaGuard It’s such a great question - Did you think it all yourself - wow!
I mean I thank you for the intended spirit, but never has a compliment sounded more sarcastic and patronizing
@SnokenKeekaGuard It was intended to be patronising & sarcastic?

My wife: daily.
Others: sometimes.
Little enough that now if I do it just comes off as sarcastic.
Same. I recently met a wonderful woman who I’ve become very good friends with. When I first met her, I was interested in maybe dating her, so I was very careful and selective with the compliments I gave her because I didn’t want to sound like a creep (and I’m autistic so I’m bad at judging what’s okay to say). After I asked her out and she rejected me, we agreed to just be friends, and I suddenly felt far more okay openly complimenting her in many different ways. It feels really good to give someone a genuine compliment just because you want them to feel good, no strings attached.
Yet another great benefit of friendship! Good on you.
Try making complimemts throwaway statements, like theyre a gemeral fact and not the focus of a coversation. I feel like thats the reason some compliments come off as creepy, plus don’t be overly familiar.
Dude, I feel the exact same. I basically never compliment anyone ever. Sometimes I want to but I’m afraid of sounding weird so I don’t. I’m not likely to be someone who looks like they could come off as creepy, but still I have a hard time with it.
I only compliment people if they’ve done something impressive in some way. Rarely do I interact with strangers in any situation for that to occur. The limited situations like someone’s appearance or clothing beings stylish or something just seems like it would come off creepy to say so I won’t do that.
With people I know I tend to be pretty brutally honest so it’s rare I compliment them, but when I do they know it means something.
You look great today OP
Are you the CIA agent assigned to me?
Lovingly watching you. Every second of your life.
As often as I can, people deserve to feel good.
Nice job.
A few times a week, on average. Not much to compliment on because at this point I’ve complimented on almost anything that comes to mind.
