What was the best compliment you’ve received?

View all responses

The best compliment I ever received was someone told me that I had a beautiful smile and that I looked so lively and happy. Honestly, I had been having a bad day, I thought I had resting mother-dog face if you know what I mean. But, I was at work, so I made my best effort to smile and be kind to everyone I saw that day.

It kind of came out of no where, those are always the best compliments. I had been helping her with a technical issue she was having, and she just said, “Oh by the way, Your smile is just beautiful, so lively and happy. I just wanted to tell you that.”

I am definitely not used to people complimenting my smile. In fact, it’s one of the things I am so self conscious about because I have a hereditary gum disease that at times makes me feel downright ugly. Those are the negative thoughts I tell myself at least, but it meant alot that she voiced that, and I ended up smiling the rest of the day. It really did leave a profound effect on me and I am so thankful she choose to spread positivity that day.

So….. get out there and you all do the same now you hear? You just never know, it might make someone’s day.
