In a world where trolls are real and seem to have a lot of time on their hands, it’s nice to hear a compliment.

Recently, Reddit users posted answers to the question, “What is the best compliment you’ve ever received?”

Looks like for most people, receiving kind words is a special fuel that gets you through the mean days.

So, let’s fuel up and scroll through the nicest compliments these people have heard. May it inspire all of us to spread a little cheer to others around us. You never know when a few friendly words will turn someone’s day around.

1. “Thank you so much! This has been the best birthday I’ve had in the past 46 years of my life!”

4. I helped an old lady step down a curb and then she couldn’t find her car in the parking lot (her husband parked it) so I helped her find it and walked her to it and she said “your mother did a good job raising you.” My mother passed away when I was young so when she said that I got back to my car and I lost it.

5. From a very handsome British guy in his mid-twenties at an incredibly conservative US college: “You know you’re a very good looking guy.” I’m straight but it put a pep in my step for weeks and i still remember it 14 years later.

6. Once in public speaking class I jokingly introduced myself in a speech with “I like the sound of my own voice” and the professor immediately shot back with “and so do we!” As someone that’s struggled with feeling like what I have to say is worth hearing that really stuck with me.

9. The widow of the deceased came to see me at the organ console before proceeding to the cemetery. “I just wanted to thank you for the uplifting music you played for my husband’s funeral. It could’ve been a sad occasion, but instead your music turned it into a celebration of his life.”

We should all think kinder thoughts, say nicer things and perhaps wave instead of honk.

It makes a difference…you good-looking, funny, smart you.

I mean it. Have you been working out?

Nice. 😉
