cuz why not, they’ll most likely feel good about it, which will also make you feel good. also, can we pls normalize complimenting the opposite gender without ppl thinking that it’s a romantic/flirty thing, thx
compliment the barista‘s cool jumper. the nice earrings the checkout chick is wearing. the colour of your cousins nail polish. stop it with the ‘you look great’ when people lose weight or ‘you look so much better’ when someone’s skin finally clears up. It’s 2025 and people deserve to ACTUALLY feel good when you give them a compliment.
this sort of feels like a silly “skill” to be working on but it can be very scary to work up the courage to compliment a stranger! yet it usually ends up creating a really nice moment for both parties involved. every compliment doled out is a little win in my book
even the smallest things may not seem to matter in the moment, but when you fast forward a bit, you may be trying to grasp the memory without any luck. writing things down, taking pictures, collecting, etc. is all so important.
my parents used to judge me and think I was weird for talking to myself when I was younger. I’m sure they still do, but they’re less vocal about it as they used to be. for context, I’m an only child, so talking to myself was nice for when I was bored or whatnot. it’s also helpful for sorting through my thoughts. it’s good to get things out when I don’t feel like talking to anyone in particular. I like to think of it as my own personal podcast.
I’m so glad I found this app. I was looking for a place where I can share more about myself without feeling judged by the people around me. now people can feel a connection towards me being truly myself instead of the mask I’ve been conditioned to put on for others. I imagine handing someone I’ve just met a paper with a link to this profile on it as a fun experiment
