I got a compliment today and I got to thinking about how it's always the slightly off-the-wall compliments that stick with me, and I wondered if it was the same for others. Post your favorite compliment you've ever recieved! My two favorites are: "You look adorable, but also like you could break a barstool over someone's head" and "You have a musical voice".

I don't know if its my favorite, but one that stuck with me--- long ago a few months into a relationship a boyfriend said to me, "You make me want to be a better man." At the time I quietly thought to myself, ok that's a good sign, I was pretty smitten with him at the time. It didn't work out in the end, he had two little kids I did not want to come into 3rd place to, but we parted amicably. I hope he found a wife and mother to his kids, it is what he was looking for.

"You are worth something." I tell myself that. One of my classmates wrote that my voice "was like liquid smoke" when I read a piece in our writer's workshop.

"You're a good person" by someone who actually meant it. Normally my natural reaction is to tell people who say things like that to gently caress off because they are mocking me but it felt good to hear something positive that was also sincere for once.

About 4 years ago, when I was working at a University in Chengdu as an ESL teacher, after a couple of months teaching, one of the first year girls came up to me after class and said "We like your lessons Mr. BrigadierSensible. We think you are so gentleman."

It's non-verbal but the best compliment I've ever received is all the amazing people who care about me and choose to share their lives with me to one extent or another.

I went to a LGBT club with a friend, and we left after a couple hours. A guy ran after me, came up, and said "I'm sorry I was staring at you all night, but you are the most adorable person I've ever seen in person." I didn't notice him staring honestly, but told him I took it as a compliment.

As a very recent one someone at work said unprompted, he said they wonder at work on coffee breaks when I'm not in the room how I have the physical endurance to work as I do. It's because I work out in addition to work when I feel I can, don't actively eat garbage, don't smoke. Not complicated stuff, but this small acknowledgement felt nice anyway. *I know this could be read as a subtle slight if you wanted to, but I actively choose to not do so doverhog has a new favorite as of 01:45 on Apr 23, 2018 |

Back in my Magic playing days, a friend and fellow player (who was really really good) once told me he felt I'd be a really big threat to most others in our social circle if I invested more money into better cards. Like, sure, that's something obvious about the game, but him saying it has always stuck with me.
