I think back to a compliment I recieved once. Probably one of my more pleasant memories.

When I was in elementary school, a girl who was generally mean to me and everyone else told me I have nice teeth. That was over 10 years ago and I still vividly remember it.

Nothing makes me stfu faster than singing in my car while parked somewhere and having someone walk by, knock on the window and tell me they think I sound good.

Tangentially related, I was ordering food at a Wendy's and the cashier out of the blue asked if I had ever been in a long distance relationship. I said no, but I knew people that had and if the relationship was strong enough, it would work out in the end. Hope things worked out for her.

I was working in a hotel kitchen and one of the waitresses told me I was more beautiful when I smiled. That was in like 2012 and I still remember it.

I'm an ugly woman and I remember getting a compliment from someone at dunkin. It was another woman, but she said I looked pretty. I think to this day she's the only person who has complimented me that wasn't a friend or something. 😅

I've had plenty of men yell out "huge bitch" and what have you though. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Only time I've ever been "hit on" was when a really old lady (over 65 at least) at a local Moose club called me a "cutie"... Back when I was maybe 14 or 15. Even my past partners didn't give me compliments.

I could never count the number of times in my life I thought people were laughing with me. They weren't.

Almost a decade ago a random gal walking down the street with her friends told me that she liked my boots.

Now I don't hold back compliments cuz as long as it's clear there's no creepy strings attached, it doesn't hurt and it can make someone's day :)
