Do You Compliment People?

I agree. People appreciate it too - like using their names. What a wonderful idea, the gift is two fold, not only are you teaching your children to be good people, but encouraging others at the same time! Yay gitfiddleplayer!

I too seldom compliment ple, at most i will just say thanks to them.. Other than that, i will find it hard to compliment ple too.. haha.. But to one's family especially kids, it's important to compliment them other than scoldings, so that they will learn to become independant at a young age, be more mature in their thinking.. hehe

A complement neve goes amiss, and we should all learn to give out more to family, friends, etc. I love getting a complement, makes me feel good, so I do try to give them out when the situation arises, especially with children; it is so encouraging.

I agree,sometimes it is hard to compliment others,but it is a good thing to try to do,and I always try to compliment people when I can,and I also agree sometimes it helps to get a kind word from someone,especially if the person you are complimenting has a low self esteem.

I also try to dole out compliments because whenever I'm at the receiving end, my morale and self confidence always soars. However, it's really difficult to keep giving compliments to people especially when things are going on. I agree with you gitfiddleplayer. When I read an interesting post, I try to let the myLotter know that it was an interesting post that really made my day. I don't know if it helps but I'd definitely feel great if someone from the community vocalized his or her appreciation for a discussion I started or a response I made.

absolutely. i always try to find at least one good thing about a person to compliment them on. i think it makes a good first impression.

I find that sometimes all it takes is one kind word to really brighten a person's day or give them encouragement to keep trying even when the odds are stacked against them. Last night I was helping my oldest daughter practice for her Jr. High cheerleading tryouts. She just can not get the toe touch jump. I could tell she was getting frustrated and feeling bad. I told her that I knew she could do it and asked her to try one more time. It still wasn't anywhere near what it needs to be but it was better...I told her it was better and she wanted to try some more. She still has a lot of work but they have improved.

Sure I do, only if it is really sincere. An honest compliment can really uplift a person and motivate him or her to do better in what ever he or she is doing. I notice that when I compliment people, it comes back to me. I get compliments too! So there, what goes around, comes around.

hello fiddleplayer! I love to see the postitive in people. So personally I do give a lot of compliments out! It helps you in friendships hard times etc. Nothing bad can really come out of a compliment! And I do give compliments on mylot! I agree everyone should give at least one compliment a day!

Yes, I do compliment others. This is in my nature. I love to see others happy, and I love to make others smile.
