Here’s Why #Lonely People Are Afraid of #Compliments
Some #lonelypeople hold #negative self-schemas.
Missing someone is a bittersweet feeling, but when that someone is cute enough to make you smile, it becomes a whole new level of adorableness. 😍❤️

A quotation from Moliere:
«
ALCESTE: Esteem is founded on comparison:
To honor all men is to honor none.
[Sur quelque préférence une estime se fonde,
Et c’est n’estimer rien qu’estimer tout le monde.]

Too Seldom Is Heard an #Encouraging Word: Why and How to Offer More #Compliments
Every one who sees this has #SomeAss. You lookin' good.
I'm rewatching #AmericanDad (S8E12) #Ass #Compliments
Washed the bathroom floor after having my shower. Mentioned it to the spouse, pointing out that I want #compliments, thinking of this hilarious video from ages ago: https://youtu.be/zi8ShAosqzI
:catthinking:
"very interesting, but nothing sensible"
I do publish nonsense... and if this were a comment to my nonsense, it would be a compliment.
Alas. This was posted into an actual article of mine in which I was arguing for a position. As such, it is an insult.
Maybe the spammer was confused????
#VoteBlue #TimWalz #HarrisWalz
#Daughters #Compliments
My 34-year-old daughter just gave me a big compliment--which is sort of unusual for her--she posted elsewhere:
"The best thing about Tim Walz is he gives off a very strong my dad vibe. Quick to laugh, smile, make a terrible pun, and kind."
She's not wrong!
Today someone called me a genius. Not casually, as a catch all compliment, but with intention.
It caught me off guard and took me a moment to process. It’s gonna stay with me because I need it to.
If you have kind words for someone, don’t keep them locked away. Speak them into existence.
Ya wanna know the truth? It's pretty easy not ta' be creepy when ya' treat people like they belong ta' themselves instead a' you. Compliments oughta uplift what they're feelin', not draw attention ta' what yer feelin'.
Also, why are all the leftist admins so good lookin'? It's true!
