Complimenting others

So you wanna make someone's day. First off, choose something they clearly do on purpose. Cool clothes, cool hair, neat tattoos, etc. If it's a physical quality they have no choice in, it's weirder by nature. Note that this does have nuance; many trans folks may have worked hard for our appearance despite having little actual choice in many facets of it. But I still think the safer and better route is to compliment folks on something they do, not something they are. Obviously this includes weight. Never assume anybody can do or has done anything to change their weight. Besides, we don't want to be the kind of society that judges folks that way. That's where eating disorders come from (partially, sometimes.) Second off, if you do not know this person well, don't do it in a way that requires they acknowledge it. This applies to strangers on the street, cashiers, or anybody really. Sometimes people compliment others with an agenda beyond trying to make someone's day, and folks may feel they have to be wary of that. So as not to give them something to worry about, compliment them when you're about to part ways, such as when you're grabbing your grocery bag or when you're about to surrender their attention to the next person or when you're crossing different crosswalks or passing in opposite directions. It makes it less likely to them that you have an agenda, and actually genuinely just wanted to pay a compliment. Third off, if you see them again thereafter it can be mildly awkward, but your good faith will prolly show through. There's worse things than a little awkwardness. Fourth, don't take it personally if they don't notice or care. Everyone's got their own shit going on, who knows. They might even be hearing impaired or something like that. Remember you're doing this for them, and they can take or leave it. Sidenote: The great part about #1 in my experience is that, when I started thinking that way, a lot of other people became more attractive and cooler to me because I started seeing people differently.

If Social Media sites’ algorithms can’t detect me as an “In Betweener”, they’re more poorly programmed than I thought they were. And they may as well have been designed by a society that Cancel Cultured Pepe le Pew.

Pay It Forward, Ladies

I’ve been making a conscious effort to tell other women that they have nice hair or a cute fit or something like that, as I feel we need to build each other up as much as possible. I had someone do it to me today at Kroger and it made my day.

I was wearing one of my over the top shaggy faux fur jackets and was staring at my grocery list in the frozen food section when a lady said “Love your jacket!” I thanked her, feeling pretty happy, and then she said “You are giving off amazing vibes!” I thanked her again and felt like the store was my catwalk for the rest of the shopping trip.

my top bit of advice going into the new year: compliment people. especially strangers. literally everyone you interact with if you can. when you buy coffee in the morning compliment the barista's tattoos. when you're chatting with a coworker tell them that by the way you like their outfit. always find something they've chosen to do on purpose. nail polish, jewellery, tattoos, hair colour/style, statement accessory, outfit, etc are all good bets. things people hope will be noticed. things that aren't too personal so it doesn't make them uncomfortable (eg probably not their physical features). i've gotten into the habit of scanning everyone i talk to for something about them that i think is cool so i can tell them. it's a great habit because it makes me notice people and realise just how many neat little details there are in people's presentation of themselves that might pass me by if i wasn't paying attention. and it brings out so much joy. you'd be surprised how much it disarms people to receive an unexpected compliment from someone they don't know. it is the most sincere smile you will see all day long. it feels nice to make people happy but it also means you win the social interaction. establish dominance by complimenting a stranger's earrings and disappearing into the fog

the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???

Well, that went down like a lead balloon.

"bluntly honest" autism but in the sense that i absolutely cannot refrain from complimenting strangers if i like their earrings or their shirt or i think they have a friendly-sounding laugh or i think their art is beautiful or i think the fic they wrote portrays the characters so well. "bluntly honest" doesn't have to mean "mean". i love to tell people things that are kind and also true.
