Being nice and friendly is not only something we do to feel better about ourselves. It is also an incredible way to light up someone’s day!
The person in the story below did something that could be deemed as a social experiment. This person realized that most men don’t receive compliments on a daily basis. Most of them go by with months of nobody saying something nice about them. This stuck with this person. They thought this wasn’t only sad but also easy to fix. They saw it as an opportunity to do better. They decided to start saying aloud all the good things they noticed about others, whether it was because of a new piece of clothing, the way they did a task, or simply because they looked good that day.
This had an impact almost immediately. Not only did they discover that men were looking happier after hearing the compliment, but they also started to treat this person better and trust them easily. These compliments weren’t in excess. They were simple things that this person noticed, as if it was just highlighting the positive aspects of these men. And how they acted after hearing the compliment motivated this person to do it even more and to also start having more friendly relationships with these men. For example, in the gym, they just told someone that their grip in a certain exercise was great, and that made the two people closer. This person wasn’t inventing anything. It’s just saying the good things you think about other people.
Maybe we need to pay attention to stories like this one, with actual emotional value and a good teaching moment. We need to be more like this person. Bringing kindness and friendliness to every place we go. Telling compliments just to say them without expecting anything in return is something so kind and heartwarming. We have to start doing it, make it a trend, make ‘being nice’ our whole personality.
