I was just thinking how that soft spoken little compliment had made me feel so nice and fuzzy warm. This led me to wondering how much we sometimes just take a compliment like that paid to us just forgranted. Also I wondered if many people any more bother to tell others that they appreciate something about them like their hairdo 'or the new top or even just their pretty smile. Your take on this mylotters?

Hello Hatley, I know that a few nice words can do miracles. And also the opposite is true. For instance, if a person doesn't feel too good, if you tell her "you're pale, what happened to you?", this will only make her feel worse. That's why, when a friend or a colleague doesn't feel well, I say only encouraging words, even if I know they are not true. Why would I say "you feel bad, I can see this"? What good would this bring to me or to anybody else? I rather say nothing or I try to tell an innocent lie like "you look better than yesterday" or something like this.

You mean you'd lie to me??? When it comes to telling someone something that isn't good, I either don't say anything, (Unless I know it will help) or if asked, I will carefully tell them. I mean it's like if I asked my husband if something makes me look fat. He can choose his words carefully and let me know that what I tried on doesn't look right. I'd rather hear the truth than to go out in public looking bad....lol

I was referring at people who don't feel well. To those people I'd rather tell a lie instead of saying some discouraging words. And I'm sure you feel great, Carmelanirel, why would I lie to you? I wouldn't lie about someone's look. I prefer to change the subject and say nothing.

hi inu yes thats tricky when someone doesn't feel well. To make them feel even worse is not right so yes encourage them with something Like I had thatvirus too but at least you will soon be over it as I know mine was only four days. about someone's looks it is tricky too as tellsomoen they look fat is not going to endear you to them at all. I sometimes say well the color's okay but the style is just not you. that may soften things and you never said they looked fat either. loll

it's the little compliments that mean so much. i agree with your discription of making you feel fuzzy warm inside. when i was a manager i used to go out of my way to compliment all my team every so often. if you watch their faces you can actually see the appreciation and that warm blushed look in the face. it gives me as much of a kick as they get. plus, at work it is all to easy to criticise but some are slow to congratulate. (i may of went of tack there!)

hi ajk I had a boss that was like a bear one day and the next like an angel and we were the best crew she had ever had. she was bi polar and refused to take her medications. But the branch librarian we had before was one who was always giving little compliments. when someone quit she told me I could have those extra hours as she would rather have me a good worker than hire a incompetent page. in a library an incompetent page could shelve books in the wrong place and cause a huge mess. we had one whom was dyslectic and every thing she paged was in the opposite place as she saw Stephen as Nephets and filed accordingly or king as gink and sometimes she filed by first names.we finally saw she could not handle the job and she was let go. lol lol how did I get off subject?'well the first boss was very pleasant to work with as she did compliment anyone who deserved it and one day I complimented her on having t he most gorgeous looking husband and she really laughed. he was really very handsome and one of mycoworkers had a crush on him , But she never let on to anyone asthen we would be teasing her,

Love your title, hope that makes it clear the first line is a "quote" I know that complimenting someone can make one feel really good. When I receive compliments, sometimes I take it and ponder on it for a while, basking in the warm of encouraging words. I probably don't compliment enough though, probably because it is hard when I am around guys all the time..Then again I do make a point to encourage my youngest boy, because he seems more receptive than the other two. Another problem is when I compliment my oldest, I feel like it goes to his head as he already has a high enough ego where intelligence is concerned.. I think the main problem with compliments is determining if it will encourage someone or if it will go to their head, that is how I feel when I say something good to my son.

hi carm yes I almost get embarrassed here as I am always going my son did so and so and myhusband did so and so and get red lines reminding me it is my son and my husband lol I do know better, I swear. I just typed a comment on the last page and immediately changed pages without posting it what on eath is goingon in my hear? my blood sugar is normal praise be so thats not it. well now I have to retype mylast comment here on the last page as it did not load.After reading so much about other husbands here I had come to realize with his faults he really was a good man and he loved me too.He always supported me as my son now does.he told me thats what is called being a helpmeet or is it help,mate forget which. anyway I am now a happy widow for many years. I had one guy want to marry for convenience of two social security checks and I told him I had one good marriage and that cannot be topped. I did not tell him I thought he was a chauvinist pig which I did.one of those "women are second to men and should be barefoot., pregnant and stay in the house kind of men. lol

hi carm oh my that brought back a memory. I was trying to encourage my son when he was about ten and having a tough time making book reports. I had said " well that was really a great report.You got a B." He looked at me still sort of blue and said "Yeah but you have to say that. You're my mother." Bam guess that told me a thing or two.Yes in our family we have to sort of choose just the right thing to pay a compliment that will be received the way its meant to be.Also some guys can take your compliment the wrong way. I complimented a coworker before I got married and oh my G He got the idea I had the hots for him. I was already engaged and counting the days til our wedding. I thought my hubbie to be was going to sock the guy right there in the hospital where we all three worked. "take your damned hand off her shoulder Alec" he snarled and Alec wisely did just that. However had my hubby to be taken a swing at burly Alec well I was just glad he did not. the head nurse was privy to this too so she quelled both of them before we gave a floor show to all the patients. lol

It's so true, when a friend or collegue or as simple as someone who you don't know who stops you in the street to say "Those shoes are amazing!" or "I love your Hair!" It really gives you an ego boost and sense of self that you can carry arround for the rest of the day!! or in your case Hatley, the life of the adoreable necklace!! I do like to tell people if its in an appropriate place then i will tell someone if i really like something they are wearing and have even asked people wear to get items of clothing i felt i couldn't live without!I think that if you are tastefull and respectable about it, then it will always be appreciated even if it makes them shy away the first time they get 1!

hi dont pick your nose love that user name reminds meof my dad. lol yes I have got more compliments on that necklace and it cost all of six dollars but helped a poor African woman in that jewelery thing started by Oprah and some other women to help African women by ustilizing their talent at making pretty jewelery.I never had any problem complimenting others but used to be awful at accepting compliments as I often threw it bac k in their faces saying oh no I am not pretty. my dad said I am very plain. I believed him until my husband showed me I was not plain and taught me to thank people for a compliment.so now even if I am not sure I warrant that compliment I will accept it gracefully and just say thanks. that makes both our days.

Hi Hatley. The last time I was at Mum's we went out and about into the local Town (as you do) and it involved me purchasing a top from a rather wonderful shop there called Madhouse. Anyway, I'm 45 and have often thought, "Do I still HAVE it?" and the lady serving me - I reckon was about 25 tops..and she said, "Wow, I LOVE that leather jacket you're wearing, it looks really nice on you!" Well, you could've knocked me down with a feather Hatley..I had a grin that could light up the whole world so I just blushed and said.. "Thanks very much! I got it from that leather shop at Fleetwood Freeport..you know, the first shop on the right as you walk in..if you're interested." "I'm going there tomorrow!" she replied. "Thanks a lot!" Despite me being overweight now I never thought I'd receive a compliment from a complete stranger EVER again. It doesn't matter that it was a woman..in fact, I preferred the fact it was a woman because she appreciated what I was wearing. Isn't that cool? You're right Hatley, compliments go a long way to making us feel warm and fuzzy. Oh, and when John saw the top for the first time he said, "Nice top!" He NEVER says these things and again..I felt top of the world...again. Haha!

hi Janey like me when my doctor's office nurse asked my age for my chart and I said 84 she smiled."I hope my mom looks that good at 84" That made forget the doctor had called me in to chew me out for having too high blood sugar. then he said"sweetie You are looking really good today" 'wow I went home on the access bus just floating on air. the driver said'Ah young lady did the doctor chew you Out' I told him " no he actually told me I looked good today ah yes then he chewed me out for eating too much. but I am still happy" He laughed and said" I don't believe you are that old." Now my day was really going good. wow. compliments can make us feel new and all revived.So I try to compliment someone who really deserves it once a day anyway.

I often do tell people I like their top, dress, shoes, etc. I feel funny some times as not many people do this any more and I do get funny looks sometimes. Like you say not may say this anymore. It is nice to hear. I have had others tell me the same and it did make me feel good being told. I went out and I wore a beautiful long dress, and it was dressy a young lady came up to me and told me that it was nice seeing someone come out dressed up as not many peopled did that anymore. It made me feel good that she did that because before she did I was feeling out of place a little.

hi moondancer a year ago I had some minor surgery on a sebaceous cyst on my back and the nurse who was preparing me for the surgery made my whole day when she said," you have the prettiest blue eyes no wait green no blue green like your top." I was not scared any longer and the surgery 'was a snap as I did not feel a thing and the cyst was gone. that thing had got infected four times and my doctor said "lets get the suregon to take that thing out so you will be free of it." I was surprised when the surgeon made me have this done in a real operating room as it was an 'outpatient thing but he saud " those have a problem of infection and we want your surgery to be a real success so we do it in sterile conditions."

Hi Hatley! I'm one of those people who do often do not pay compliments to people even though I feel like it. I mean, I'm too shy most of the time to express what I think. And sometimes, just like what you said, I take for granted something nice that I encounter. But I do give compliments sometimes and it's not just the person feeling good about the compliment, but the person who gave the compliments also feel good for making someone feel good.^^ I try to do it more because I also know how it feels when you're given compliments. There's also another side for this. You know, when you give compliments just to get the favor of a person. Even when you don't mean the compliment, you still say it so the person will favor you. This happens everywhere I know. I've done it. lol Cheers.

hi celticeagle my husband was the one who scolded me for not being grateful for a compliment that told me I was really pretty . instead of thanking the elderly lady I had said"No I am not I am terribly plain." the woman had a sad look on her face when she left. My husband said " you were rude to her and hurt her feelings." he then started out to teach me to like myself and to believe him when he said I was pretty.so now I do say "thanks or thank you for the compliment." so I too had had problems accepting compliment graciously.

When i see that you have a new dress , i would appreciate it if it's nice. Whatever nice things i see on someone or on a place, i won't keep it to myself. And my compliments would really bring a smile to the person. Though, i only give compliments when it is really due.

In my opinion it is all about the education the parents gave the children. The nice words come along more often when we were young because we use to need more people around us to feel good. I don't think that people say nice things once they have other priorities then human relations.

hi daxta welcome to mylot. yes if we are encouraged as children to give compliments to others we are more apt to do later on but then life sort of takes over and we no longer do that. but when someone compliments me I do start to show appreciation to those around me. and human relations often could use some compliments to ease the employer employee relationship as too many employers are very aloof with the people who work under them.Some times saying nice things can smooth out a tense work situation where boss and employees are less than friendly.

I do this all the time. I do it because it really helps others. Maybe they are having a bad day. You pay them a simple compliment and it could completely chang it around. Funny how we tend to forget that something as simple as a compliment could really make somebody's day. That's why I make it a point to do this for at least one person every day.

In general we do seem to get too busy to be civil. Kindness counts. Sometimes we do not know how much a kind word will mean to someone. Especially if they are having a bad day. The other thing is, we want to deny compliments, we have lost the simple grace of saying "thank you" when praised or complimented.

We met a friend of hers who was gushing , "oh Barbara you really look so pretty wow." then she noticed plain old me, "oh yes you look nice too." now that sounds okay but the tone of her voice had a sneer in it and I felt like she just had to add that for politeness sake.It was not sincere at all and she had this odd sniff about her as she said it like maybe I did not smell all that great.

you should have given her a fake compliment back. picked out something you knew she couldn't have been too proud of (bad hair maybe) and given the fake compliment in an obviously fake tone of voice with a big fake smile. she'd have loved that.

Everyone loves compliment and hates insulting words. That is why we are encouraged to say the only good things so everyone around us will stay positives and happy. I have met with people who likes to talk bad words and yeah that is why her life is always in mess and misery because she say it, for me when we say the words mean we pray for it and when you ask for it then here you will get it. Sometimes people might think that compliment words and praise too much means we want something from that people but for me if that person deserve it why not? It is a sincere compliment anyway without any hidden intention~ It will make that people happy and perhaps will help them to get motivated and act better in the future~

hi hardworkinggurl and thesids I liked that doll bit too,. and happy Mother's Day to you hardworking. My hubby called me Pattytricia a lot and people would ask me why since my first name is Patsie. well I had told him before we were married how I had always hated my name and wished my parents had named me Patricia. So hence my husbands pet name for me,"Pattytricia" and I loved it as it was special and just for me. He was the one who taught me to like myself. I have found that when I tell Sandra my table mate " Thats a very pretty dress" she really looks so happy and that makes me feel good too.She is a very large person but does have a great clothes sense in what looks great on her. We larger people need to have a sense of style.

Hi GF I always love when we share adjacent boxes... Oh that is so sweet - your boyfriend calling you Doll... I call my wife K and you GF (ever since I got the permission from you and yes, I id not refer you as GF on 2 discussions since then)

How sweet of you thesids. If I did not see the GF I would worry something was wrong between us. It is always a pleasure to see you adjacent, in a box and all over the Lot. Cute when we can refer to people we love by cute names/meanings.

hi surekharathi I found your response finally lol I can just see you giving compliments then lauhing when they said"why do you think such." You are a person who is happy and makes others happy with her smiles and her wonderful laugh.Here in Gold Crest I hear so few laughs and I wonder why as no matter where you ae you can always find some thing to be ]appy about and smile. Also laughter and smiles the doctors say ' are good for us., they make us more healthy and are good for our hearts too.
