I usually get a stunned reaction, very rarely do I get a mind your own business but I just say it as I see it. If their outfit makes their eyes glow or is perfectly matched or put together fantastically or their hair looks great, why not tell them? It makes their day and makes mine to see the light up. My kids say I’m very friendly and a talker. My ex husband was so violent I had to have face reconstruction surgery, I know what it’s like to feel ugly. I know what it’s like to feel bleak … So… Likewise, I know what the rewards are of feeling good. Can’t beat them! Share them around. I saw an elderly lady recently in a gorgeous maybe cardigan and complimentary necklace and shoes. I said, “you look so lovely” she was taken aback. Often people will be stunned and speechless for a second and then sheepishly say: OH…? thank you! And I go on my way smiling and so do they. It’s beautiful to be able to have the freedom to smile and make people happy.

What a great post! It feels like real life compliments – both giving them and receiving them – are a lost art.
If we all started our day with a compliment, I think we’d be in a better mindset and be more likely to recognise our achievements and be less likely to sweat the small stuff that day. There’s a real knock-on effect. Keep up the good advice 🙂

Lynette: I know exactly what you mean about it feeling anti-feminist. It’s that catch 22 of wanting to be noticed but not objectified or have the feeling of danger. I think that’s why having another lady cat call you is something extraordinary. It’s such a sad situation that complimenting other women is seen as having an agenda. The only way we can remedy that is to just keep on doing it with positivity. How’s the life drawing scene where you are? 🙂

Hollie: I really believe that our self esteem is something we always need to take care of. All too often we are at the bottom of the list, but these simple things can help us every day. xx

Angela: That’s so lovely. The fact that you took the time to notice her mood and make the effort to connect is really admirable. And thank you for your kind words of encouragement too. 🙂 xx

The cashier seemed quite sullen. I noticed her earrings…sparkly studs that were darling…so I told her how cute they were. She immediately smiled and lit up with a gracious ‘thank you’. I must say that it was a lovely exchange and I felt really nice about having the chance to make another woman smile. I’m so glad you wrote this post! Thank You!!!

xo, Angela

It’s a win-win situation: They feel awesome, and I make them smile.

I do need to work on myself though, but I’ve come a long way from where I used to be. Thank you for reminding me <3

It feels anti-feminist to feel bad about that. You’re right – people are too afraid nowadays to compliment others for fear of backlash. Women complimenting other women is nearly always seen as underhanded and with an agenda. I will take your advice (well, all but the dance lessons, not so much of that in my neck of the woods in the States!)
