How To Give People Compliments Suitably


Everybody loves being complimented, especially women.
Compliments bring not only positive feelings that come because someone has noticed something about you they deemed worthy of praise, but also many benefits and opportunities for people when they know how to achieve their own success by using compliments.
Compliments are important components of sociability and are also useful devices for beginning conversations.
But have you ever given a compliment that made someone feel worse? Or that had no effect at all?
For some, giving compliments is an uncomfortable venture because of uncertainties.
If you can relate to this anxiety, read on to learn how to suitably give compliments. 


Choose a specific detail about a person that is noteworthy to you
Maybe you like your friend’s hair style. What do you like about it? Is it the color? Does it flatter the person’s figure? Asking yourself why you like something will eliminate insincerity, which is often transparent to the person receiving the compliment. Being genuine is the most important characteristic of giving a good compliment. One thing you should remember is trying to focus your compliment in a way that gives recognition to the person being complimented. For example, “You look fabulous in that sweater!” is better than, “I like how that sweater looks on you”. If you want to really make them feel good, try saying, “You make that sweater look good”.

S-t-r-e-t-c-h Your Compliments
You’ve probably guessed. The longer it lasts, the better it is
This tips help you give people compliment that they’ll never forget.
An example from How To Connect People Instanly said: “It feels good when your supervisor, passing your desk, says, “Good job on finding that folder yesterday. Thanks.”
But picture this. She comes to your desk in the morning, stops, smiles, looks you in the eyes, uses your name, and tells you, “I am really impressed you took it upon yourself to search for that missing folder yesterday.” She continues, “You could have given up when it wasn’t in the right drawer. But you stayed late and went through all the fi le cabinets. You didn’t give up until you found it. Good job! Thank you so much. “That doesn’t just feel good, it feels GREAT! Your smile lasts all day. Driving home, you are still purring. You tell your family about it at dinner. Suddenly you like your boss a whole lot more. Of course you’ll go the extra mile for her again. No question about it.”
This little trick is easy, and the benefits are big. Simply expand your kind words by a few sentences. When they think you’ve finished, hit them with a few more. The melody and lyrics of your protracted praise make heavenly music for them

Make eye contact and smile!
This sounds really obvious but you have to do it correctly.
If you actually try smiling more, you will discover how the world treats you changes a lot.
People generally react to how you treat them.
This means whatever emotions you convey, others will sense it and reflect it back to you.

Give compliments at the right place and time
.

For example, if you are complimenting your friend because the dinner he or she made was delicious, make this praise in front of other people while you are all gathered at the table. Don’t wait until dinner is over and you are alone to say that you enjoyed your meal. Having witnesses validates the compliment and gives the receiver a feeling of respect.

Last words, we live in the world where most of us would rather criticize than give compliments. Let’s make a conscious effort to appreciate people we meet every day.
