I'm not really one to compliment a stranger unless I really feel the need to. Also, only give genuine compliments, I hate fake compliments! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stingy-or-generous-with-compliments#post-1300980 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 09:31:57 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1300980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't used to be, but I think that was/is because I'm shy. I don't know if I'm generous with compliments, but I say them when I think of them instead of just internalizing the observation. </p> <p>For example, if I saw someone with cute earrings I would just think that to myself and move along, but now I try to go out of the way to tell that person. </p> <p>I feel like I compliment strangers more than family and friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stingy-or-generous-with-compliments#post-1300969 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 09:26:11 +0000 jhd 1300969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm generous with DH and family when it comes to compliments. But maybe not quite so generous with them if I don't know the people well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stingy-or-generous-with-compliments#post-1300958 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 09:21:07 +0000 Littlebit 1300958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generous. My husband is constantly mortified because I have no problem telling a stranger if I love their purse, hair, nails, etc. Only if it's genuine though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stingy-or-generous-with-compliments#post-1300897 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 06:01:06 +0000 looch 1300897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am generous when deserved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stingy-or-generous-with-compliments#post-1300856 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 00:49:21 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1300856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generous! Words of affirmation is definitely one of my love languages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stingy-or-generous-with-compliments#post-1300851 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 00:29:34 +0000 hellocupcake 1300851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty stingy, I don't compliment someone unless I genuinely mean what I say. I do feel obligated to compliment if someone is basically asking for it....and the old drunk me used to give out compliments like candy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stingy-or-generous-with-compliments#post-1300850 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 00:22:25 +0000 BabyMats 1300850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am generous but definitely don't give fake compliments. I can't stand fake compliments </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stingy-or-generous-with-compliments#post-1300846 Thu, 26 Dec 2013 00:11:57 +0000 Purpledaisy 1300846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generous! I know how much it brightens up my day to be complemented so I try to do the same for others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-stingy-or-generous-with-compliments#post-1300836 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 23:45:36 +0000 mrbee 1300836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm fairly generous (in that I will say a compliment if I'm thinking it)... but I will never offer a compliment that I don't feel is true.</p> <p>There's an art form to complimenting someone in a truthful way... it's a lot harder than just telling them that they look wonderful, or that their baby is gorgeous. I'm not a fan of fake praise.</p> <p>Are you stingy or generous with compliments? </p>
