Actions speak a lot louder than words... However, words don't anything.
I like to point out to people what their good attributes are, not so much that it's like I'm running around with my head up their butts... but because it makes me feel good to make them feel good... Someone recently told me that I made them feel like the most important person in the world... and that was the nicest compliment that I think I've ever been given in my life...
Compliments and flattery have to be genuine for them to have any effect, especially on me, if someone misguided soul were to tell me that i was beautiful, that'd be a lie and I'd seriously wonder what they wanted, the flattery has to fit the person... I think there are some people out there who are completely phoney in their compliments and that really lessens the value of it...
