While compliments are always appreciated, a select few leave an indelible mark on our hearts. A user asked the forum, “What is a compliment you will remember till you die?”. Here are the top responses.
YOU MAKE EVERYONE FEEL LIKE YOU ARE THEIR BEST FRIEND
“Someone once told me: “It’s so easy introducing you to people; you make everyone feel like you’re their best friend.”
Having held onto that for over ten years, still helps to remember when I’m not at my best.”
YOU HAVE GOT THE KINDEST EYES
“A lovely elderly lady stopped mid-sentence to say, “You have got the kindest eyes.”
I AM REALLY PROUD OF YOU
“I don’t know if it counts, but my dad once said, ‘I don’t say it enough, but I’m really proud of you.’
Which was the only time he ever said it, but it meant a lot.”
IN THE NEXT LIFE, I WANT TO COME BACK AS REX
“My friend is a veterinarian, and after spending a weekend with me and my dog, she said, “In my next life, I want to come back as Rex” because he was so happy, so well taken care of, so loved.
She’s an animal professional and saw my relationship with my dog and thought that was the best. I can’t think of a higher compliment.”
I AM LEARNING SOMETHING NEW
“A friend once told me “every time we meet up, I feel like I learn something new from you” and I think about that a lot. Makes me want to keep learning.”
I LOVE YOUR ENERGY
“I feel like ‘I love your energy’ is a really general but epic compliment. Some people love your looks and your voice, but energy just seems like a really warm compliment, and you have to mean it. It feels great to hear!”
GREAT PARENTS
“I overheard my MIL tell my mum how she thought me and my hubby were really great parents and that we were doing a good job with our 6-year-old.”
SUPERMAN
“I jumped over this low wall to avoid having to walk around, and when I nailed the landing, these two young boys were standing there with their mouths agape, and one said, “Wow! Cool! Like Superman!” I was a 35-year-old man at the time.”
YOU HAVE THE BEST PERSONALITY
“My daughter, who’s on the spectrum (yes, it makes a difference because she has a hard time explaining herself/her emotions), said “Mom, you have the best personality” while I was making silly jokes to keep her occupied in the doctor’s office. The way she said it was just so special.”
YOU LOOK PRETTY
“When a kid told me I looked pretty. Kids can be brutally honest, so when one tells you you’re pretty, you’re pretty!”
YOU ALWAYS SMELL GOOD
“You always smell good.” I usually do a lot of perfume experiments on me, but they all turned out to be lovely.”
YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON
“You’re a good person.” It’s very general, but I work hard to be a good person, so it’s always nice to year.”
KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK
“When I was 15 and worked at an MMA gym just cleaning and stuff. Everyone else was messing around and not working, and this guy who trained there came in while I was mopping.
He said, “Hey, man. Just in case no one told you lately, keep up the good work, and I’m proud of you.” Didn’t have a father figure in my life, and I didn’t have a good home life, so it hit me pretty hard.
I’ve taken pride in everything I’ve done since then. Even when I receive no thanks, I do it for myself and to feel proud of myself.”
