this sort of feels like a silly “skill” to be working on but it can be very scary to work up the courage to compliment a stranger! yet it usually ends up creating a really nice moment for both parties involved. every compliment doled out is a little win in my book
I need to take my own advice… I will often meet people and the lovely things about them stick out to me — be it their laugh, the way they wear their hair, maybe a particular piece of clothing — and I really want to compliment them but the words are like peanut butter in my mouth and I can’t spit it out! I mean every now and again I remember a compliment I’ve gotten and am all 🤭 over it. I need to put that good energy back into the world!!!
cuz why not, they’ll most likely feel good about it, which will also make you feel good. also, can we pls normalize complimenting the opposite gender without ppl thinking that it’s a romantic/flirty thing, thx
this weekend a man on the bridge dropped his airpods so i picked them up for him then on his run back when he passed me he smiled and waved because we were microfriends. i will never see him again but we had our moment i just made this term up but it feels right to describe a nice little fleeting human connection drop your microfriendship stories/recs
