I work on one thing at a time in my general quest to be a better, nicer, more likable person, and this week I feel like working on my complimenting skills. I feel like I'm still a bit awkward when I try to pay someone a compliment.
I'm not very good at giving compliments because I don't have much practice. Insincere compliments were used to bully me, and I'm sure we all know about that type of compliment, but I'm trying to get good at giving sincere compliments that make people feel good about themselves.
So my questions are: What are the social rules as you know them that govern the paying of compliments? Do you have any tips or nuggets of wisdom regarding compliments? Do's, don'ts, and sometimeses?
Any and all input on the subject is appreciated. Thank you!
