Offer compliments sincerely from "summary" of How to Talk to Anyone by Jason Miller
When you give someone a compliment, make sure you mean it. Don't just throw out a generic compliment to fill the silence or to try to impress someone. People can tell when you're not being genuine, and insincere compliments can actually backfire. If you're going to compliment someone, make sure it's something that you truly appreciate about them. When you offer a sincere compliment, it shows that you are paying attention and that you genuinely value the person you are talking to. It can make the other person feel good about themselves and can help to build a positive rapport between you. People are more likely to open up and engage with someone who they feel values and appreciates them. When you give a sincere compliment, be specific. Instead of just saying "You look nice," try something like, "I love the way you styled your hair today. It really suits you." This shows that you have taken the time to notice something specific about the person and that you appreciate it. Specific compliments are also more memorable and meaningful than generic ones. Remember that sincerity is key when it comes to offering compliments. If you don't truly mean what you're saying, it will come across as insincere and can damage your relationship with the other person. Take the time to think about what you genuinely appreciate about someone and then express that to them in a sincere and heartfelt way. By offering compliments sincerely, you can build stronger connections with the people around you and create a more positive and supportive social environment.
