Use compliments sparingly and authentically from "summary" of Conversation Casanova by Dave Perrotta
When it comes to giving compliments, less is more. You don't want to be throwing out compliments left and right, hoping that one will stick. That's just going to come off as insincere and desperate. Instead, focus on giving genuine compliments that actually mean something. Think about it - if someone gives you a compliment on your outfit, your work, or your personality, you want it to be because they truly mean it, not because they're trying to win you over. The same goes for when you're giving compliments to others. Make sure they are coming from a place of authenticity and sincerity. By using compliments sparingly and authentically, you'll actually make a bigger impact. People will appreciate your words more when they know you're not just saying them to get something in return. Plus, giving fewer compliments will make the ones you do give stand out even more. So next time you want to give someone a compliment, take a moment to think about why you're saying it. Is it because you genuinely appreciate something about them, or are you just trying to score points? Remember, quality over quantity when it comes to compliments. Your words will have more weight and meaning when they come from a place of sincerity.
