are you the person who gives compliment? or the person who always receive a compliment? For me,i always give simple compliment to my loved ones and i know that they appreciate it more, though i receive the same from them. When other people try to compliment me, before i don't know how to handle them but now i try to say thank you because i realize that somehow i am a blessing to them and that God wants me to be this way.

Hi dear! I firmly believe in extending my compliments to my near and dear ones. If you keep interacting with me you are likely to get compliments from me………LOL! I know everyone wishes from inner core of his/her heart that his/her efforts and deeds should be acknowledged and complimented. We basically crave for compliments and I am not an exception. I also keep fishing for compliments, irrespective of the sources. Giving compliments is a sort of positive attitude and we should not be a miser while giving compliments on someone’s dress, uniform, clothes or his/her gestures or behavior.

hello karbuks! i am a person who always gives compliments...but it was a sincere one. everytime i come to meet my friends or see my loved ones, i always try to look for good things on them and compliment them...i know that compliments can brighten up our day and can put a smile in their face... so i just love complimenting my loved ones & my friends to show that i appreciate them... with me, just like you, before i feel shy whenever someone compliments me & don't know how to react & i always blush...hehe, but now, i have learned to just accept it and say thanks and not to be shy anymore... have a good day kaburks!

In my culture it can be difficult to accept compliments. there is the tendency to immediately react with a 'nah...' instead of accepting it graciously with a 'why thank you'. sometimes i get compliments on my work or on my nature and I'm working hard at saying thank you whilst not letting it get to my head. sometimes it's also necessary to filter it carefully. some people give compliments to get something from you. or to get on your good side when they don't actually mean it at all. sometimes they are sincere. so one has to be alert to what the real intention behind the compliment is.

It is a good things to gives a lot of compliments than to criticize as when one have nothing to say it is even better to keep silent rather than makes unnecessary comments. It is also a great feeling to receive a lot of compliments when one is deserving most of the times. While it annoying to force or ask a person to gives a lot of compliments when every one have their own opinion and hence their should be no favoritism which could exist if not properly delegated.

I may say "appreciation",i always appreciate small things my friends,loved ones and esp my kids. Compliments...that's good,it is one way of giving a person,more confident of themselves and boast their pride to pursue things they are into. For me,i don't see anything bad when someone commented or saying compliments on me,unless it is true.

I am generous when it comes to giving compliments, especially to my friends. I have also read somewhere that one way to have a positive mind-set is to try to give at least 5 compliments a day. I do not know if I reach that minimum a day but I will certainly try to Whenever complimented, I see to it that I say thank you.

I am so generous in giving compliments and appreciation especially for those who deserve to be given one because I know the feeling of being appreciated and I want to share it with those who truly deserve that “positive stroking”. It’s not expensive—NO COST at all but will can change another’s life for the better. Well, for some expensive ones--- we can consider a salary increase, a plague of appreciation, a treat, a present and a surprise party.

I make a point to try and compliment people. You can find something if you try. It makes me feel good to make someone else feel good with a compliment. Even at work if I have to talk with someone about something they are doing poorly or wrong I always try to soften it by complimenting them on what they are doing well. Compliments should be genuine though - if you can't truly find anything to compliment you are better just leaving it alone.

I try to be open with giving compliments at work because they managers really never show any kind of appreciation so I want to fight this and I try to remember and be bold enough to give compliments to my coworkers. If someone did a great job, I want to tell them, I know I am just about the only person doing so here, but I really wish to do that. Also, sometimes my coworkers are surprised about my compliments, but it's something I care about doing.

In the past for some reason I had a hard time giving compliments. Now that I have children I find that I am doing it all the time because I want to encourage my children to be creative and full of life and energy and to be proud of themselves. From there it has filtered into my other friendships/relationships and I find myself giving other people compliments more often than I would have in the past.
