Random stranger told me I have pretty hair, then just walked away. Made my day.
Other than stuff like that, someone telling me I'm right or have a good idea, pretty much make my week.

This is tricky for me, because I do feel good when people acknowledge my intellect or my calm demeanor, or comment on my skill in writing, graphic/logo design, web development, mediation, and so on, but at the same time I'm not comfortable taking a compliment and I often deflect or make a self-deprecating joke.

Getting involved in local theater and it's nothing they've said but getting accepted as a friend by others half to a third my age is cool. Nice to not have to deal with the age gap issues.

Usually I get comments on how blue or pretty my eyes are. I feel fortunate to have them.

Great post!

If someone compliments me it’s usually about my smile, which I always thought was too big until I started dating after 20+ years of marriage and men started complimented me on my smile

People say they miss me when I’m not around and that my energy lights up the room. I’m touched when I present a talk and sing and people say I got them to think in new ways or that they were moved.

I've been told that I'm sensitive, thoughtful, and have a nice smile.

I'm a tutor. I love it when a student tells me how much I've helped them.

Aside from that, I love it when someone tells me how kind and caring I am, and how much fun I am to be with.

What a great question. From friends and family it is when they say how fun and funny I am and how they can talk to me about anything and not be judged. My customers tell me how comfortable I make them feel when they have embarrassing questions to ask but need to know. Strangers tell me what beautiful mermaid looking hair I have.

Hey y’all
Thanks Listener, for asking this. Very appropriate.
People tell me I’m fun, funny.
I make them laugh. So that makes me laugh. They say I do a good job singing at karaoke. That’s nice.

I am helping 3 young people and am encouraging them to further their education . Seems to be working . One of them has a Birthday Thursday .

I’m told I have a great laugh and a nice smile. I’m not good at accepting compliments gracefully, but I’m working on that!

I have heard this often and it makes me very happy... "Are you naughty again?"

And what about calling me handsome all the time? Stop it.

I've been told I'm as mean as a snake

That I am intelligent, that I am passionate, that I am a hard worker and am suited for much better job(s)/position(s) than the back breaking entry level jobs I do, that I am nice/respectful and, one I don't believe, that I am strong (mentally)

They say I'm a good listener. I'm proud about it, but then again a lot of times I have a lot to say as well...but I choose to speak out only when I feel it will make an impact

Gotta love that positive vibe

My friends and acquaintances often say " You do too much, for too little, for the ungrateful. I would rather be accused of that then the other way around.

As far as a more negative trait, I have been accused of not having enough patience in certain situations. However, this is not true. I just do not have patience in great abundance for those with whom no impatience should ever be tolerated, such as older people, younger people, challenged individuals, those trying (successfully or not) to help others, all other living creatures, just not for the people who "require patience" for no other reason than he or she actually being a brat, or attention seeker, with no "excuses".

A few years ago, one colleague described me as "an affable loon", which both made me smile and I couldn't argue with.

I chatted with another one day and asked her "Do I just complain all the time?" and she got quite cross with me. She told me that yes I do complain a lot, but unlike others, I come up with real, practical solutions to whatever it is I'm complaining about, that could then be discussed with others and taken to our superiors.

I think the best one for me was one an ex-girlfriend came to me with. She'd spoken to the elder of my stepsons on his 18th birthday some years ago, and asked him about me. His reply was "That man has been more of a dad to me than my own father will ever be." or words to that effect. That one there is likely the standout one I'll keep in my heart until I'm dirt-napping with my ancestors

Patient,,positive ,like to make people laugh ,always try and say something good about a person,stay away from negative people

I feel excited affirmed warmed and validated when children/young adults ask me with great curiosity: " are you a teacher ? " at a store or in a waiting room with people of all ages are killing time and I encourage a child to read a book or study a subject useful in life.....it's so easy to guess a child's age and ask the parent if I am correct.....I cherish campaigning door to door phone to phone and relating to whoever answers my knock or ring
