Women Are Sharing The Compliments They Still Think About To This Day, And It's Actually Really Wholesome
Words are powerful, and sometimes they can leave a lasting impression on someone. Reddit user Sinful_Shortcake recently asked women, "What's a compliment you received once that you still think about to this day?" Here are the most heartwarming responses: 1."I struggle with self-esteem and confidence extremely. I was at a clothing store with my family, and I came across a beautiful dress. I've lost about 110 pounds and have some loose, sagging skin. I knew I could get into the dress because I'm smaller, but it's open-backed and form-fitting. Now I have seen this dress on the store app and would have bought it earlier to try on at home, but I couldn't afford it. My mom grabbed the dress and told me to try it on." "I resisted because we were in public and the dressing rooms were fairly crowded. I couldn't afford it, and I just felt ugly. I was still coerced. I went into the dressing room, put the dress on away from the mirror, then came out to show my family. My five-year-old said, 'Wow, mommy, you look so beautiful!' My five-year-old is nonverbal. That was one of my richest days. I heard my baby's first sentence, I bought a $100 dress, and I saw another rare beauty — myself." —u/cityofnaked123 2."Compliments from kids are always the best because you know they're being completely honest. Once a girl looked at me, gasped, and said, 'You look like a princess.' Ugh, my heart! That made me feel so good." —u/PinEnvironmental7196 Related: 3."From a professor: 'I save your papers to read last. They're like a big slice of chocolate cake after a meal of just plain broccoli.' Met with that professor mid-semester to check in on how things were going. I think we all had to do that, or we had to do it if we wanted our midterm grade or something. I sat there with hearts in my eyes for the rest of that meeting, man." —u/kaeorin 4."Someone once told me that they like my mind. That compliment has stayed with me." —u/Garden_Jolly 5."I was volunteering with unsheltered people, and one of the guys I worked with said that he and others felt loved when I was around. He died a week after he said it, but I felt like that was the highest compliment someone could give me. I always want people to know they are loved." —u/bluefancypants 6."My uncle just off the cuff introduced me to his friend as, 'She's the woman I told you about, the one that I'd like my daughter to grow up to be like.'" —u/destria 7."I boxed in university, and one day I was paired with a man to spar. We were evenly matched. I had been boxing longer, but you know, a man vs. a woman will always have an advantage. We became sparring partners. I ran into him at uni and stopped to say hi. He turned to his mates and said, 'This is the girl I spar with, she's a beast.' All his friends seemed to have heard about his sparring partner. It made me feel pretty good, and I also loved that he was confident enough to say his sparring partner was a chick!" —u/Judithwastaken 8."'You are the most tenacious person I have ever met.'" —u/whatwhat612 Related: 9."When I was 18 or so, I was working as a barista, and this woman was looking at the cupcakes in our pastry bar. When I asked if I could get her anything, she said, 'No, I'm just looking, they're so beautiful!' When she was leaving, she gave me her cup, and she had put a note that said, 'You're more beautiful than any cupcake could ever be.' I still have the note." —u/apocalypsmeow 10."'You're a force of nature.'" —u/sgtcupcake 11."From my sister: 'You are the mom I wish we had as kids.'" —u/ImpressiveStrike9525 12."'Your face lights up when you smile.' I've always remembered that one!" —u/kettle106 13."My art teacher in eighth grade told me I had the most unique way of seeing the world after I turned in a pretty weird project. At the time, I thought she was just being nice, but now, as an adult, I realize she was actually encouraging my creativity instead of trying to make me conform." —u/WildNprecious Related: 14."'You're an inspiration, and make me proud to be a woman,' from a young colleague I mentored many years ago." —u/miss_rabbit143 15."From an older man at a mountain bike race I competed in: 'You're so fast! I had so much fun riding behind you!' Mountain biking is VERY male-dominated, and I've only been riding for a couple of years, so this was a huge confidence boost." —u/mermur 16."They said they wished they still had me as their boss." —u/bleakraven 17."'Your eyes smile whenever you do, it kinda makes me want to smile too,' from a friend." —u/thehopefulsufferer 18."'You expect competence from the people around you.' It felt like a compliment from a woman I liked and respected. It was like saying you raise the bar for everyone when you're part of a group." —u/CGS_info 19."'You have great form,' from the 80+ year old guy easily Nordic skiing past me at a good speed (in jeans and a wool sweater!) while I was a beginner. That dude is amazing. He's always out there, and if he compliments you on form, it means something. Knowing he thought I was on the right track, technique-wise, was a huge boost." —u/ReadAnEffingBook 20."'We like it when you watch us because you play with us,' said my cousins when I came over to babysit. The other babysitter was just on their phone, but I played Xbox with them." —u/AgentJ691 Related: 21."'I wish my muscles were as defined as yours.'" —u/SourceTypical6417 22."Someone told me, 'You are a light.'" —u/ProblematicByProxy 23."'I love the way you talk about yourself.' I genuinely love me some me. I'm honest and self-aware, but I also constantly pour love into myself." —u/eternititi 24."I was told I have a presence that can't be taught." —u/technofever89 25."'You ask the best questions,' said a woman whom I really admire. It is the best compliment I've ever received." —u/not_triage 26."Someone once told me, 'You make people feel like they matter just by how you listen.' It wasn't about looks or achievements; it was about who I am at my core. That one stuck with me." —u/scientist_hotwife finally, "I'm a teacher, and when I moved away, a student's family gave me a card. It said, 'Leaving other people with your kids isn't always easy, but it was with you.' I cried." —u/Pixiestixwhore Ladies, what's the best compliment you've ever received?
