This morning, two guys yelled out their pickup window, “awesome satchel, man!” Apparently they liked my bag. A few days ago, the guy at the cash register complemented me on my sweater. I also try to make a point of giving compliments. I know compliments for guys are rare, but I feel like the situation is getting better. Giving and receiving compliments is a wonderfully inexpensive way to add joy to people’s lives.

I know at this point it's a meme but every compliment I get really stays with me.
Since I moved to new city I had random (mostly dudes) say I have cool hair and cool tattoos, just a sweet feeling.
I've always had trouble giving compliments and I've been trying to "fix" that, I'm going to give my homie a compliment if I think he dressed nice, got a good haircut or is looking extra pumped from gym. Still kinda awkward when giving compliment to girls as I'm always scared of it being taken a wrong way, as girls thinking I was flirting when I really wasn't already made for few too many awkward encounters.
