100 Compliments That Have Nothing To Do With Physical Appearance
Let’s be honest, mirrors are glass and you’re way more than that. We get so fixated on our physical appearance—everyone is guilty of it.
I believe in the power of compliments. I truly believe compliments have the ability to change the trajectory of someone’s life, let alone save their life.
You never know what someone is struggling with or going home to, the words you speak have power to turn their mood upside down. It’s even more powerful when these compliments go deeper than what’s on the surface.
According to the Mayo Clinic, giving others compliments and being nicer to others can even improve your own emotional well-being.
However, compliments about a person’s appearance may end up being very uncomfortable for the person on the receiving end and oftentimes are inappropriate. This is especially true if those involved aren’t particularly close. Questions and comments like “Have you lost weight?” “Your makeup looks good today” and “That outfit is flattering” not only defy proper etiquette, but they can also be downright rude in some instances.
Here are 100 compliments that have absolutely nothing to do with physical appearance:
