Use compliments to make others feel valued from "summary" of The Fine Art Of Small Talk by Debra Fine
When you give someone a compliment, you are essentially telling them that you value something about them. This can make the other person feel good about themselves and appreciated. Compliments have the power to uplift someone's spirits and improve their mood. By expressing admiration for something specific about the other person, you are showing that you are paying attention to them and that you care about their feelings.
Compliments can also help to create a positive atmosphere in a conversation. When you start off by saying something nice to someone, it can set the tone for a pleasant interaction. People are more likely to open up and engage with you when they feel validated and respected. Compliments can help to establish a connection with the other person and build rapport. They can break the ice and make the other person feel more comfortable around you.
It is important to be genuine when giving compliments. People can usually tell when a compliment is insincere or forced. Instead of just saying something nice for the sake of it, take the time to observe and appreciate something specific about the other person. This will make your compliment more meaningful and impactful. Remember to focus on qualities or actions that you truly admire in the other person, rather than just making generic or superficial comments.
Incorporating compliments into your conversations can help you to build stronger relationships with others. When you make someone feel valued and appreciated, they are more likely to view you in a positive light. This can lead to more meaningful interactions and deeper connections. By showing genuine interest in the other person and acknowledging their strengths, you can create a more enriching and fulfilling social experience. So, don't hesitate to sprinkle some heartfelt compliments into your conversations and watch how they can brighten someone's day.
