Sometimes, I am just awesome.
Inspired by circulatory, who posted some of the best compliments she's received and invited others to bask in love of themselves, too. Because we all need a little ego boost sometimes, especially those of us who find it hard to take a compliment. Just do it!
I have this thing, where I generally think I am an awesome person, but whenever anyone else indicates that they possibly think I am awesome, I get all flabbergasted. I have a really hard time believing that other people do, in fact, think I am awesome. But sometimes it gets through. So here are some of my most cherished compliments (with some paraphrasing, naturally):
-"I love it when you tell me stories."
-"You see the world in a child-like, but not childish way."
-"I love that you just say, 'Can you hold this for a sec?' and hand me your bag and go off to skip across the grass."
-"You're the greatest in my eyes, Laura. You are much appreciated and loved."
-"You have a lovely voice."
-"Energy and light to you, Lady. Have a great day!" (<--not really a compliment, per se, but it was some random message left on the whiteboard outside my door at college when I was having a hell of a year and I'm certain it wasn't actually intended for me because I didn't really have actual friends at that point, but it still absolutely made my day and I will never forget it because sometimes the Universe is listening)
-"I love your sense of humor. I knew you had a great sense of humor when I saw the exclamation point after your name."
-"___ said you must have a charmed life, but that's not entirely true. You work really hard at everything you do. And I am so proud of you."
-"You are an excellent addition to our team."
-"You love what you do and are good at it. That's a great combination in a person who is no doubt easy to work with if she's even half as fun in the office as she is when we're out chattin' and chillaxin'."
-"You are amazing."
You should totally post your own favourite compliments, too. Spread the self-love! ♥
(p.s. This post is not fishing for compliments!)
