If you’re familiar with my content, you know that I am all about showing kindness. Kindness can be shown in many ways to many people; strangers, family and friends, coworkers, our pets, and even ourselves. One of my favorite ways to be kind is by giving compliments. Also, compliments don’t take a lot — just a few kind words. They’re simple, and that’s what makes them so sweet.

There’s nothing like a nice compliment to brighten up your day. And that’s why I will be listing 25 compliments to do just that for others, and you as well — It sure makes me happy to know that I was able to make a positive difference, even if it’s a small one.

Compliments about Character

I believe that a person’s character tells you a lot about who they are. Therefore, one of my favorite type of compliments are those that are about what you like about someone’s personality or character. It’s a real confidence booster when you feel appreciated for who you are on the inside.

You are a blessing in my life.
If there were more people like you in the world, it would be a better place.
I admire how you aren’t afraid to be you.
Your laugh fills the room with a sweet melody.
I appreciate your honesty.
I’m always learning wisdom when I’m with you.
You are so kind.
One thing I like about you is despite the fact that you are a good listener, when you do speak, you speak with purpose.
You have a heart of gold.
You’re one of a kind.

Compliments About Appearance

Whenever we compliment someone’s appearance, we need to make sure we do it respectfully. While compliments can be a wonderful way to be kind, we want to avoid making anyone uncomfortable. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t compliment someone’s appearance–just make sure that you’re saying it in a way that you feel will boost someone’s confidence and help them feel comfortable.
