So I'm on another forum site that's filled with younger people. Well, one of the threads made by a mod was an opinion thread where she compared you to an animal. This is what was said about me:

Now if that isn't the nicest thing ever...

So, now tell me what the nicest thing is that someone has ever said about you. (:

Awwwww I want love. ):

All of the top 10 nicest things ever said to me have been from my husband. Most recently, I was out with the girls till 3am on Friday and he had to go to bed without me (for the first time in over a year). The next morning he said, "I missed you last night... the bed was so big and empty without you."

Mary and I were hanging out one day before she went off to college and she said, "If Im ever in therapy Im not going to be able to blame my childhood. It couldn't have been better, it was the best."

healer called me a duidelike bra about a week ago. I have no clue what it means, but I'm told it's a positive thing.

I'm sure people say lots of nice things about me, but I don't really keep track of them.

A friend of mine once said of me: Never has one man know so much about so many thing that mean so little to so many people. We were playing a trivia game.

Actually, I posted about my grandad when he died. He was a hell of a guy in every imaginable way. My Nana (his widow) has a couple of times told me that I remind her of him - like, "You're just like Joe." There can be no higher praise, because there are no better men. (There are, I hope, some men as good.)

I am lucky; with the work that I do, I get my ego stroked on a regular basis.

My room is decorated with evidence of some of the nicest things people have said to me--an Easter drawing made especially for me by a 5-year-old girl I babysit, a handmade card with a portrait of me on the outside that reads "Thank you for babysitting me. I hope it is fun. Love, J." on the inside, and a large hand-drawn poster of a fence with a gate in the middle with two kids at either end that says "Welcom (sic) home L.!" I have a small dish full of treasures given to me by children.

Their mothers are equally kind: they pass my name on to their friends, and then I get compliments when my services are even better than expected. I had one mother proclaim: "You're like Nanny McPhee!" The mother I nannied for last year told me recently that they had a bunch of "Smart L." questions for me but needed to start keeping a list so they would remember them all for next time they saw me.

To be honest, it is one of the things I love. I get feedback about my job performance constantly, and typically, it comes in the form of art. What could be better?

hrmm..

I believe it was.. "Do me like that again"

heh.

no seriously, I can't answer this question. I hate compliments for the most part so I just brush them aside and forget them.

There was this gal that I dated for a time. The first date was just so-so. We exchanged emails for the next few days, and one night, around 2am on a Thursday night, I sent what I thought would be the last email to her, about something that was going on and why I was changing jobs. She didn't read it until she got to work on Monday morning. Which is when she called, that morning, from her office, and woke me up, to tell me that she thought the message was poetic, and that she wanted to take me seriously.

I was buying a blue button up shirt the other day at a large dept store, and the checkout girl did a double take and said: "If my eyes were are blue as yours, i'd wear blue everyday...wow"

It's not the nicest thing anyone has ever said, but it was the most random/nice thing...

The nicest thing anyone ever said to me was.

"Steel, That was much more impressive than I had expected to see from you"

I respected the person who said it and If they were impressed by me that ment something.

On a Comedic note:

I was once told I would be a great Amusement park ride. Shortly after we had had sex anyway.

My most favorite recent compliment, and I already gave it away on an unrelated thread, was:

You're a lot of fun to argue with.

But the best overall would have to compliments from my girls, most noticeably of the, 'i'm so glad you're my mom' persuasion.

And when my mom pays me compliments it makes my day, because she is a real tough cookie.

"I want Mommy." (when she was not feeling well)

Of course, it wasn't so nice when she threw up on me when I picked her up.

I was once refered to as "scary smart". I thought that was a neat compliment.

I've gotten "You'd make a great boyfriend." from my friend's girlfriend.

However, my favorite compliment of all time:

I've been playing guitar/bass for about 6 years now, but I've never been complimented on my playing (it's never bothered me, and I've never really been looking for a compliment). I was playing with my friend at his Thanksgiving party and one of our other friends says real quietly (I think she didn't want me to hear her) "Pham is actually really good at guitar."

I don't know why, but that really struck a chord with me.

Halx

I really like this thread.

The nicest thing someone has said to me recently was when a co-worker, who is well liked and respected at her current job, told me she wants me to train her when she finishes school and gets her license.

Baraka_Guru

I like this one. Plus it reminds me of the best compliment I ever received regarding my own intelligence. One of my college classmates (most of whom were quite close by the final year 3) informed me that he and a few others believed that one day I would have a building named after me. I'm sure it was mostly in jest, but I was greatly flattered even though I sincerely doubt it could ever happen. It was a huge ego boost, especially since I always had self-esteem issues before I got into college.

A lot of people go through there every day lives not realizing how appreciated or special they are.

I think this thread is kind of helpful in reminding us and making us think how we make a difference in other people's lives. (:

*puts on man voice to compensate* Hey Halx? You're special. Hug it out.

That I've been one of the finest friends they ever had. In the end, it's all any of us can be....

genuinegirly

In junior high, I attended a summer (religious) girl's camp and was given the most unexpected award. The "white rose" was always given to the girl who was there to comfort friends who were homesick, helpful to leaders when they needed a volunteer... etc.

I didn't even realize I was doing anything special. I just did my own thing, read books, chatted with friends, cleaned up after myself, lended a hand when I saw someone who needed it... just basically all those things my parents raised me to do. There, at the end of the time at camp, one of the leaders gave me a big hug and got all teary-eyed as she handed me the award, saying I was the most Christ-like child she had ever met.

That has really stuck with me. Just the fact that little everyday things could make a difference to someone.
