In all honesty

I am not very good at giving compliments and I don't give very many of them - unfortunately.

I don't know exactly what to compliment about people, although I try - and I think I have become better than I was before. But why is it so hard?

Sometimes, if I like the outfit of a person, I just keep it to myself. If someone has a nice smile, I keep it to myself. If they're doing a great job at something - I keep it to myself.

In my train of thought, they already know what I'll say, so...

Why should I tell them?

That is what I end up thinking. There's no need to tell them what they already know. Right?!

Wrong!

Amd now I have come to a point where I want to be able to give a compliment to another - be it one I know, one I want to know or a complete stranger.

What to do?!

Of course, the simple answer would be: stop thinking, just say it!, which is true. But it's easier said than done in my opinion.

Would be great to make another person smile genuinely

What is, in your opinions, the best way to get out of that way of thinking and perhaps be more "care free" and just say a compliment?

My hopes with this post is to get ideas to implement so I can, more or less care-free, give out compliments to any person I meet during the day.

Maybe even make people stand "in line" for a compliment.

(had to put that sentence in for the image to make sense in my mind)

#freecompliments anytime, anywhere

_{even a place like that}

With a hopeful mind,

thank you for reading and taking your time for this post.
