complimenting strangers is such a fulfilling experience thats adds some positivity to both you and a strangers day, i think a lot of people are afraid of the other person thinking that they're weird or smth but how many times have you received a passing compliment and thought it was weird prolly not very often not to mention you'll prolly never see them again and you only live once
there's a deep sincerity that comes with talking to someone new to a scene or meeting new people in a hobby or space you enjoy that i feel is lost in the cynicism and inherent negativity of most social media platforms (present company excluded) and i think getting outside and meeting new people in your community is a really beautiful thing that more people should do
