Is there anything someone said to you / did that impressed you?
Once when I was a hospice care giver for a loved one at home, several people told me at different times that I seemed to infuse beauty into everything I touched. I had never gotten a compliment even remotely similar to this one. It was unexpected and oddly reassuring.
I don't remember. I tend not to take compliments well: I don't dwell on them and hence don't remember many of them. I'm better at complimenting others.
I worked in a bookstore and picked up the phone from a caller who asked if a certain book was available. After a terrible time trying to find the book while he was on the line and with my boss teasing me and I retorting back sharply, I found it, told him it was available, and apologised for the hassle.
Around ten minutes later while I took my break, he called back to ask for my name and number from my boss who kindly told him he should ask me for it instead. Now another twenty minutes later, a man comes into the store, gives me a post-it with his number on it, and asks me if he could get to know me more.
I think I found this impressionable because he wanted my number and even came to give me his without knowing what I looked like. Furthermore, I've never really had any gestures like this manifest towards me, so I was very taken by surprise.
Well not really coz I like it when that happens actually. And then if he can get it up quickly again then that's going to be a big compliment as well. It would be disappointing if he couldn't get it up again quickly and I'd probably think he wasn't that attracted to me.
I was told I have the softest skin in the whole world.
He was an arsehole and it was of course bullshit, because he couldn't have checked out everyone in the world, but at the time .....
When a man (that I like) gets hard just by my presence, or by a kiss or from hugging or holding hands.
pretty cashier at the liquor store are you sure this driver's license is yours this person is way too fat to be you made my day
It would probably be the "Is there something you are not good at?", which surprisingly wasn't meant in an ironic way and which I got from a fellow student of mine once.
I've been complimented many times. I commonly get complimented about my hair, I'm told I'm pretty a lot, My artwork gets complimented, etc. I've gotten interesting compliments, too. That I have a nice back, nice legs, etc. I've been complimented on my tits and ass by strangers... =* Mind you, I was younger so I was in better shpae. But the first sentences are more recent.
By far one of the nicest compliments was something along the lines of stars and beauty... I don't remember it well. It was incredibly poetic, but it didn't mean much to me. The person who said it was a dick. Still, it was quite flattering.
The compliments that mean the most to me are from my fiance. It's usally simple things. He compliments things I do a lot, or how I look in something. He's not big on talking, so he doesn't give a shit about me being smart, but he finds it helpful. lol. He's always very honest and blunt about what he thinks, so I give quite a shit about what he says.
It wasn't the words that flattered me, it was the reaction. I shocked and impressed medical professionals when I remained strong, calm, and lucid during a trying medical situation.
When I am singing and people think its a cd playing or the radio. And that they have never heard singing like that before...Compliments about being pretty or beautiful...but it's mote meaningful when someone says something specific. I like it when people say I'm passionate and talented.
I do classical singing though, not pop or rnb. And I would also hate to be famous. One of the times when someone thought it was a cd playing was when I (and a few other singers) were doing a concert. It was in a sort of foyer/reception, so he didn't see us straight away. Do you ever watch x factor? I have watched american idol, not sure if you guys are interested in our version. But we hardly ever produce legit pop stars from x factor anyway.
I love it when people compliment my test in music or my handwriting, theses are the compliments I usually get and they make my day!
I like when people tell me I look like I'm posing for a photo, but I'm just sitting there trying not to feel awkward. I then become even more self-conscious, but still it is nice.
I've had quite a few compliments about my music, from the crazy to the touching, including:
"This is the song I want played at my funeral" (Not sure how to feel about that...)
"You inspired me to start making music"
"This is one of the best songs I've ever heard"
I find it hard to believe anybody would be so enthusiastic about my music, but I suppose those are the kind of compliments that mean a lot to me, because they make me feel like I've achieved something (however small).
I don't get many compliments about anything else in my everyday life. I've had the generic "you're fit/cute/sexy/attractive" sort of stuff, but they don't seem that meaningful really. Just momentary ego boosts. And I've had a lot of compliments about my drawings/artwork - but because music is where my passion lies, they never really mean much to me either :/
Ah I can't share it with the people here. Anonymity is one of my favourite things about this site.
It's electronic music, quite a mix of genres like trip hop and ambient. I'm by no means 'big' and doubt I ever will be, I just have a small number of fans, some of whom are unnervingly fanatic :|
Oh yeah... I didnt think about the anonymity thing at all lol.
thats too bad I really wanted to hear.
People in fandoms can be quite... unnerving at times ;)
Yes... Yes they can. Thankfully none of my fans know what I look like or where I live...
My boss is in a reasonably successful band that's been going for 20 years. She has some mental people supporting her, some of them pretty much stalkers. There was a guy from the US who paid thousands of $ for an artist to create a painting of her riding a horse naked, then sent her a copy haha it arrived at our workplace, much to our amusement and her embarrassment.
Lol 'generic' compliments that "you're fit/cute/sexy/attractive." Haha, they are only meaningless coz you must think its true. That's why it becomes boring. People who don't think they are physically attractive lap up compliments like that.
"Haha, they are only meaningless coz you must think its true"
Nooo I mean they don't mean much because how I look I only have a limited control over. So it's not like I've achieved something. As I said, it's an ego boost knowing someone likes how you look - although I wouldn't ever say I'm conventionally attractive, I'm pretty average, and don't get positive comments that often :P Just the compliments that stick with me are ones about something I have chosen to do.
" your so cute do you want to be friends?" A bisexual girl asked me
"Can I tell you that you have a nice ass?" A cute guy in high school.
" when you work out your ass is close to beyonce's" a girl me and my mom used to work out with sometimes
"You have such soft beautiful hair" a guy in my art class
I got a standing ovation from my passengers in Chicago, when I docked a corporate yacht. They were all CEO's of companies like Sears, Goodyear Tire and K Mart, and I was pretty pleased, though the docking wasn't anything particularly special.
"You look like what Dorian Grey should look like"
"You'd so be able to play as Vega from street fighter if they made a film about him".
And "You look like an angel".
I think some are a bit exaggerated but still.
"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me" or "when everything feels like it's falling apart you're the light that makes it all worth it"
I think that the best compliment that I ever received was from my ex therapist. She told me that I was a very talented artist. It meant so much to me because, she meant so much to me. I knew that she wasn't bullshitting me. She gave me other wonderful compliments but this is the one that sticks out the most to me.
