Not all compliments land the same, so here’s how to get better as them, according to experts:
Be genuine
It’s kind of obvious, but the secret to seeming authentic is actually being authentic. Before launching a compliment, make sure you really mean it and that’s not only something you do to seem polite or to fill the awkward silence… It might become even more awkward, just saying…
Moderation is key
Experts say it’s best to avoid going overboard with a string of compliments, as it might have the exactly opposite effect, making you seem disingenuous. the best things come in small packages, right?
KISS (as in Keep it short and simple)
No need to exaggerate, no need to dig into the figures of speech you studied in school! But when we say simple, this doesn’t mean generic…
It might sound tricky, but it’s not. Try to focus more on the positive traits or behaviors, notice them and let the others know. This will brighten their day! “Compliments can be a useful tool to nurture and enhance relationships,” says psychotherapist Lindsay Liben, LCSW. “Ultimately it contributes to deeper, more intimate connections.”
