Or am I just weird? I usually try to compliment people just randomly throughout the day especially workers if I'm at a store or something or if I really like something they're wearing. Like I like getting random compliments so I feel like it's a nice gesture to compliment strangers as well.

I don't compliment anyone, mainly because I hate talking to people (and especially strangers) but also because I don't generally have anything to say to anyone, anyway. It's different online, of course.

If you mean just in person, no, I can barely speak with strangers. If online is what you are looking for too then yeah I like to do that sometimes.

Yes, it's not that weird. It's a nice way to strike up a conversation if you're not being wired about it.
Like

Me - Hey, cool hat
Stranger - Thnks :D

That's normal 

But

Me - Hey, nice hat
Starnger - Thnks
Me - Can i buy it? 
Starnger - I am not selling it wtf? 

That's not cool.

Sometimes. I don’t look for things to compliment, but if I happen to notice something about someone that I really love (usually nails, shoes, or jewelry, but it could be anything), I’ll usually say something. Especially if I’m in a situation where I know I can leave immediately, and won’t be trapped in a conversation with them afterward. I’m pretty much never in the mood for that. 

I usually feel really awkward when I get a compliment. I never know what to say beyond just thanking them, and then there’s a weird silence where neither of us wants to say more, but we know we probably should.

Usually no, but talking to strangers for no reason is very uncommon in my country in general, so it would get you weird stares. However ofc if an 'appropriate' situation occurs (when going shopping for example, especially for prom dresses) absolutely, even though I'm shy with that normally

Absolutely. If I got something nice/positive to say, I'll say it. For all you know, it could make someone's entire day.

Yea, sometimes. The other day I saw a person with a My Neighbor Totoro shirt on, and I told them that I liked their shirt. Usually if I notice that they're wearing something that relates to my interests, then I'll compliment them.
I'm either crashing out or fujoing out.

Depends, when I do that it is usually at karaoke bars and I would compliment usually the singing, the tattoos or some interesting stuff like and outfit for Halloween or stuff like that, or simply compliment a good look.

The thing is, it will often come off as weird, but do I mind? No lol.
And some people like weirdness ... like ofc, the good kind of weird, not the "please don't slice my throat open, if I reject you"-kind of weird.

As for total strangers that let's say I pass by while walking anywhere or see in some public places then not really. Only a few times I complimented their pets when they ran up to me. Or when they approach me first I may say some kind words.

I love complimenting people! Because it always brightens my day when I receive random compliments.
I wouldn't like walk up to someone just to give them a compliment, but if someone wore something that I liked, and I was just nice walking in their direction, I'd make it a point to say something to them, & not linger afterwards!

I'd usually compliment them if they got cool dyed hair or wearing merch from something I like. 

Lately since I've changed up my style and life I been getting a lot more compliments so its helped me confidence and self esteem a ton.

oh yeah totally
no issues coming up to randoms in public saying daaaam bitch u slayin in that outfit
sometimes we exchange social media when it turns into a small talk

feels nice being complimented why not do it urself right
and i think focusing on outfits, haircuts, and that type of things is like the safest option, nobody ever thinks its creepy or nothing

i am a just a little bit over the top (gae) in my demeanor when telling compliments, i think it signals to the person that im like totally nonthreatening and approachable
