Now now, no time for edge in this thread, I can already foresee 50% of people saying "I've never been complimented ever before". I'm sure your mum has atleast complimented you on how handsome you are after getting a haircut in the fifth grade and that counts. I'm sure, no matter how depressed you may be, no matter how detached you are from a social life, no matter how many hours you spend cooped up in your mum's basement watching anime, that you've been complimented before.

So, CD Citizens:
  • What is the nicest compliment you've ever received?
  • What is the most common compliment you receive?
  • Do you ever compliment people? Why or why not?

P.S. I triple dog dare you to compliment the user above you on something you like about them.

hmm i guess the nicest one i can think of is probably the time a sales assistant mistook me for wearing makeup when i wasn't
wearing any at all and then proceeded to compliment my complexion - which was kind of nice idk LOL and the most common
compliment i've received is probably either a really generic "you're so cute" (which i absolutely cannot stand cause i swear this
is a jab at my height ...) or something about me being "aesthetic" (which is appreciated but i find awkward receiving).
also, yes i do compliment people - quite often actually. usually not for any particular motive other than randomly feeling compelled
to let someone know how i feel about them. idk i'm happy complimenting people as long as it doesn't make them feel uncomfortable
or even better if it makes them feel good about themselves.

p.s. i really like your toga set - pretty artwork chosen as well :o

"I wish there were more people like you in the world" and "Thank you for saving my life" are the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. The former is also one I've heard a good number of times lol. But no matter how many times I hear it, it warms a fella's heart. Though, the most common compliment I get is my fashion sense and writing skills. But in the future, I'm going to make sure my drawing skills and music are mentioned just as much as well.

"It's nice to be nice" as that one koopa said in the Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga game. If I have something nice to say to someone, I won't hesitate to say it

When I was 15, I helped a guy out with his rent maybe cuz I was bored and he said, "You're not as shitty as everyone says you are." Weird thing to say since I can't say I was close with the guy. Maybe it was insurance so I'd do it again since the guy was out of a job. Still, it stuck with me. First time I'd been complimented by someone who were not my sister or two close friends.

Most common compliment I get is "You're doing pretty good" or something along the lines of that. Maybe referring to being clean. Yeah, whatever.

No, I generally keep to myself when it comes to those things. I doubt anyone would value my compliments anyway. You can call that edgy if you want :D

I've received a lot of "you are handsome boy"...
and this was all a lie.

What? Who says that someone is "aesthetic"? This word is so overused and wrongly used it might be the most abused word in the English lexicon. Philosophers are rolling in their graves.

OT: I don't receive many but out of the ones I do receive it feels really nice to be told I'm well-spoken as it is something I especially strive for.

Nicest was probably when I was staying at a hotel with the bois, y'know, as you'd do and they was having trouble accessing YouTube/Twitter on the wifi. So I suggested they dl a VPN because the hotel was probably being stingy with the bandwidth and blocked them. Lo and behold it worked. Got praised as some kind of tech guru for the rest of the eve.

This happened like ten years ago. I still remember it because of the genuine look of amazement I observed upon their drunken faces. Plus the @ 🅱ois™ aren't good at doling out compliments, so that kind of stuff protrudes.

I had tons of people ask to take a picture of me with my goggles or blow up chair this weekend. It felt good knowing I had stuff people liked.

I was once at a music festival in Atlanta (Imagine MF). I was in the pool with an Electro Threads Neon Hoodie Blanket. The owner of the shop came up to me and said people came to his store because they saw a guy with their blanket dancing in the pool. He gave me a pair of their neon green diffraction glasses for free to show his appreciation. I almost cried because my iPhone 8+ just got stolen the day before and here a stranger is just showing me so much love out of no where.


@Hatemonger I like your taste in favs. HxH, SG. Ironically someone told me to watch Darker than Black two days ago. Forgot about it till I saw your profile, thanks :D

I feel like somewhere in the "thank you for saving my life" there's a story of sorts, anything funky happen?

tbh when I call someone cute it's a 50/50 mix between adorable and small but I wouldn't consider being small a bad thing, but I probably have more than once used it to make fun of someone's height lol.

the harder it is for someone to compliment you the more it means, nothing like a compliment from the bois.

P.S. I appreciate your taste in anime and that you gave hunter x hunter a 10/10 Hahaha beaten to the punch

PantsuSenseiUwU I love your incredible name

my little bros wife told me that shes comfortable around me ^u^

and lately my family has been complimenting how I look since I've been losing weight.

I do complement others but a lot of times I'm too shy too, mostly its only their clothes I complement them on ;o;

"you're clever and very fast at learning new things. just lack experience."
it was my senior. maybe not the nicest, but i still remember it clearly to this day. It's very specific, genuine and very motivating <3

Im not very simple on giving a compliment, it's quite rare for me to give any genuine compliment.
Often i compliment just for politeness or just to get what i wanted. I gave my genuine compliment when im really impressed at the subject.

"you are seriously the most kind hearted person ive ever met and im so grateful i met you--i appreciate you so so much and im so happy i can tell you anything that's on my mind and you wont judge at all"

this was from someone whom i hold very dear to my heart, and i remember tearing up when it happened.

and i compliment people when i feel like they deserve it i guess?

@Cookies

Long story short, prevented someone from committing suicide. I didn't know about it until after they randomly told me. I didn't think I was doing anything different or special, but they basically told me that just by being myself and there for them they reconsidered their actions. It was a heartwarming and simultaneously heartbreaking moment for me

I guess the nicest one was when my best friend told me that he was very lucky to have me in his life, and that I always cheer him up when he's feeling down. I usually receive compliments about how I know a lot of things, but that isn't really true. I just love fun facts too much lol I like to compliment people, because I want them to see the good things about themselves.

I don't have a specific one that stands out to me (although I've received plenty). Instead I'll list a weird compliment, which was they liked my forehead.

My fiancé told me she feels safe around me, it's nothing grandiose but it's the most important one for me.
