Are you good at complimenting people?

I think it's a spontaneous thing. If I bump into someone and they look nice (or their hair is pretty or something), I tell them. If someone asks me what I think about something, I tell them. Not hard at all!

I do that mostly to my husband, I say to him if he is goodlooking of the clothes he is wearing. I say to him like this, hon ur so handsome in your attire and of course if he shaved. I do also but mostly to the kids.

i think there is no harm in uplifting others spirits ,by complimenting them.i am not losing anything by complimenting them.i know i would like to be appreciated once in a while but too much of it,is also irritating.

Yes I give compliments to alot to people for they give me compliments and it's the right thing to do. Some people have a hard time knowing how to or just say a simple saying such as " you've done a nice job on that or nice out fit " I try to give a compliment when I can it makes one feel good.

Hey, Sheepie. I don't hate complimenting ppl, but I am not good at doing that, either. I am kinda picky and that means only those things or ppl that really can give me a feeling of, wow, that's fatastic and then I will make a compliment and really admire them. I am doing more than that now coz I've learned that it's not only everybody likes that, but it can really encourage ppl and make them feel better about themselves. I mean, what's the use in criticising and challenging ppl all the time. We all need compliments, lol.

it tends to be really irritating when some people need to be affirmed all the time. It's like they haven't grown out of a certain childhood stage. But I do try to just compliment for the sake that I won't be hurting the person's feelings. But I guess my exhaustion from all the day's complimenting tires me out and the lack of enthusiasm shows anyway. Why don't we try to throw them back their own question? Just for a change. Ask her what she thinks about HER own projects because you tend to be lacking in judgment as of the moment. You know what? ON the other hand, she could be idolizing you. You must be good at art yourself. So winning your affirmation is a big deal for her. But then again, it's irritating. And can't blame you. What do you think about my opinion? IS it good? Is it okay? Did I say it right? Or is it bad? hehehe.....just kidding!!!!

i think i am... i have no problem in complimenting people and i always try my best to give an honest and objective comments... i don't like to mislead people by giving them a false compliment and i feel like a hypocrite and guilty after that... take care and have a nice day...

hi sheepie! well, i am pretty good at giving compliments--where compliments are due. i mean, here are people who easily dish our compliments, even if these are not heartfelt, i dunno how they do that and why they do that., anyway, i am very honest, and can't stand just telling people how nice they look even if their appearance is horrendous. in that case, i would rather keep quiet and just avoid commenting altogether. oh geez... hehe anyway, take care and God bless you! merry christmas! :-)

Sometimes I think I am good at complimenting people, but I am not good at accepting compliments. There are times when I don't really believe people when they give me a compliment. It's hard for me to accept it without looking cocky.

Hello, Sheepie. I usually compliment people that deserve it. I am not the kind of guy that is always looking at the girls, but I do notice when one of them has change their hairstyle or something like that. If I do not like, I will not compliment nor say anything. I believe that putting the person down is not good. If I do not have a compliment to make about the person, then I just won't say anything. But if I like, then I will go and say: "Hey, nice hair!". Or: "Hey, you look beautiful!". But usually, the girls make that surprised face and I hear the commentaries later that they are not going to kiss me. It's like if I asked them to be with me, when I did not... But they misunderstand it. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Hi Sheepie, If your class mate is looking for comliments, you just give to her as she would be pleased, that is all she wants, just try, it might make you feel good as well. Tamara

I am good at giving compliments, I like to give compliments as it makes people feel good! I know what you mean though,maybe you worry that people will feel uncomfortable if you compliment them I am not good at recieving them though, I am gracious and say thank you very poiltely,but I always think that people are making fun of me when they walk away! but thats my problem!

if the compliment is negative,i will not surely accept it,but if its positive one,i would gladly accept if wholeheartedly

I think it's harder to compliment someone that expects it than some that does something and you just see it and feel like complimenting them on it instead of being.....put on the spot or expected to give it.it's the feeling of wanting to give support

I can compliment people I get along with really well. As in trying to be polite to someone, I try to make the attempt. Sometimes it is difficult to compliment say a wretched co worker who you despise and they are looking for a compliment. For the most part though, I am able to do this ok.

I have a hard time giving people compliments sometimes. I get uncomfortable too.. and i wonder sometimes i should say that or not? i have social anxiety though so i'm sure that plays a rule... there are times when i'd like to tell someone how good they look or whatever but i usually never do because i'm too shy to say it. I don't understand why.. lol it's not like i'm telling them they are ugly or something lol but i just get uncomfortable... maybe i don't want them to think i like them? i'm not sure but its like that about anything too... but it also depends on the person. some people i can give compliments too easily and not feel weird or uncomfortable but those are people who i've had in my life for a while and am comfortable around them.

Well at least you are honest. I just hope that you are not so cold either in complementing or giving your honest opinion. I agree that not everybody has the same way of expressing their complimants to others. I guess I am good at that (giving complements). I always express it in a nice way and I always see to it that it doesn't sound flattering nor sarcastic.

Hey there sheepie, I dont know if I'm good at giving compliments but I do give them from time to time, but I usaully only give compliments if I happen to notice something worth giving a complament, but there have been a few rare ocasions when I gave a complament just because I wanted to make someone feel good, but most of the time my complaments come from an honest place. happy posting see ya in your next topic.

I think that I am good at complimenting people. But I am older and I think it became easier as I got older. With age, I see that so many people haver issues re their self esteem and a little compliment can help by boosting their self esteem. I look for something to copmpliment the person oon so that my compliment is genuine. Blessings

Well, about your friend in your class, if i were in your shoes, i guess i'd encounter the same awkwardness as you do. But as for other normal scenes where i would have thought that something should be complemented on, i'm okay with that.
