What's your favourite compliment that you received?

Being told I’m a good mum always makes me so happy because it’s been a rough journey involving a lot of insecurities and doubt

Years ago someone commented on how placid I was and I thought I’d lost that but recently someone else gave me a compliment along those lines, I love that trait in others so it was nice to be called it myself

Honestly I just appreciate any compliment now days. I was very ill mentally a while ago and now just take in every compliment !

A co worker of mine told me a patient said he missed seeing the tall pretty one who's always smiling and I was legit happy for a whole week after that!

Take all the compliments you can get lol

I'm also not great with compliments, and I usually bat them away or say something derogatory about myself

A few years ago I'd had a massive fall out with my boyfriend. I was very upset and was texting a mate for advice. He said something along the lines of "It'll all work out mate. You are one of the most soul warming women I've ever met - you're gonna be fine."

Absolutely made my day and I've never forgotten it. Meant so much more than ever being told I'm pretty/beautiful etc.

Giving compliments to people (when completely necessary) is one of my most favourite things. I even compliment complete strangers .. like the woman I saw on my morning dog walk today, I told her I loved her orange bobble-hat

I always get complimented on my teeth. But I always own up that half of them are false

Not a compliment, but i was asked by a colleague what i did for my 40th birthday, i then told him i was only 33. Luckily i saw the funny side i called him a cheeky tit and we both laughed it off.
I didn't mind looking alot older when i was a teenager as i could sneak into nightclubs under age . I did that many times.

When I was on holiday when I was about to 14 years old and I had terrible acne, I was very self conscious about it.

I went down to the pool with no make up on (I piled the foundation on to cover my spots) I was so self conscious and an American boy came up to me and said I was so pretty and looked much better without makeup.

That was over ten years ago now but I’ll never forget it, cause I was like how the hell does he think I look nice right now

I have extremely low self esteem and have been diagnosed with body dismorphia and I have to say that whenever someone pays me a compliment no matter how small i appreciate it.

A lady approached me in the Cotswolds just before Christmas to tell me how beautiful she thought I looked and loved my outfit best compliment from a stranger ever, felt like a celebrity momentarily!

I got asked for ID to buy kitchen knives yesterday and it made my day! I’m almost 30. When I told the cashier she’d made my day as I hadn’t been asked for ID for ages she replied “really? But you look so young”. I could have kissed her! I am feeling a bit unattractive at the minute so it really made me smile.

 

[petitspois]

a man stopped me when out shopping to say what polite children I had. I was so pleased

 

[yellowmango]

A friend told me that 'I'm made of all the good stuff'

I compliment people whenever I can as often as I can - I can't help myself. It takes 10 seconds of your time and can make someones whole day!

 

[Rosiepie]

Getting told that my kids are lovely and polite, and what a credit they are to me and my husband.
My kids telling me that I make the best roast dinners and that I smell lovely - that always makes me smile.

My husband had to pick up his prescription glasses so me and our 3 children was sat in waiting room, told the kids we wont be in there long (15 mins). They sat quietly talking to one another.
As we left a woman grabbed my arm and said what well behaved children i had and some parents dont get the praise they deserve. I came away feeling good, but what she didnt know was i had bribed the kids into being good else they won't get a treat.

Two of the best things anyone's said to me:
'You're the funniest person I know'
'You've taught me so much (about our jobs)'

 

[Leahcar2019]

A social worker once told me that she thought I was resilient.... this completely blew my mind as at times I have felt anything but resilient, but that’s probably the best compliment I’ve ever received.

 

[cushtybert]

Me and my husband went out for an anniversary meal at the restaurant where they film first dates. I popped to the loo between courses and was in a small que inside the door and a lady walked in and told me how lovely I looked in my dress.
I will never forget her compliment, I thought it was so kind of her. I was feeling a bit self conscious and she really lifted my spirits. It’s amazing how a few words can totally lift you

 

[Dizzy]

A few times strangers have complimented me on my kids behaviour and it always makes me feel 10 feet tall.

Friends say I have a good sense of style which is so kind of them. My OH isn’t a huge one for compliments (I think it may be a northern thing ) but when he does I feel sooooo chuffed.

I always compliment friends and colleagues and often compliment strangers if I like their outfit or an item of clothing. They always look so pleased and it makes me feel good to share the positivity.

Being a vintage fan, clothes especially, I was flattered and amused when at a museum that had vintage dressed mannequins in it, I was mistaken for one of said mannequins
