“Compliments cost nothing, yet many pay dear for them.” – Thomas Fuller
I find compliments to be such interesting things. I give them freely but have tremendous difficulty taking them. But if someone gives me a genuine and meaningful compliment then I’m a lot more likely to accept it.
An example of non-look based, empowering compliments include:
- I like who I am around you
- You inspire me
- You look happy
- I love talking to you
- You’re a good listener
- You make me feel better
- Thank you for being you
- I wish there were more people like you
- You’re fun to be around
- I’m happy we met
- You make me feel safe
- You’ve made my life better
As you can tell none of these are about someone’s appearance. They’re about the person as a whole. Send or tell someone a meaningful compliment today to uplift them.
