Nothing will brighten your day more than a random compliment that you weren’t expecting. It’s like getting a little bit piece good news specific to you and when it’s about something you didn’t even know or are self-conscious about, it’s just that much sweeter to hear. We’ve all had a compliment that has caught us so off guard that we can’t help but think about it, dwell on it, agonize over it, and then continue to over-think it until we’ve convinced ourselves that it wasn’t even a compliment at all. These things tend to occupy space in our minds way longer than they should.
If you are getting some weird compliments, it’s safe to assume that other people have heard some ever weirder shit that was meant as a compliment. Redditor u/icylilith asked users “What’s the weirdest compliment you’ve ever been given?” and the replies are as hilarious as they are disturbing.
