Why do people avoid giving compliments so much? Why can't we just compliment everyone? It doesn't seem like a bad thing to simply give everyone praise when they deserve it.
Even when someone didn't do anything spectacular they would still like to hear compliments and know that someone cares about how they look or how well they did a task.There is nothing wrong with telling someone they did a good job on something. It takes nothing from your time and it lets them know they did a good job on their task.
This kind of thing is simply something that doesn't happen enough, if people are told they did a good job then they feel their time went to a good use. It's really easy to become discouraged at anything if you aren't sure what people think about the things you do.
It's so easy to question everything you do and wonder if the people that you worked for liked it or not. How could you possibly know? You can't read that person's mind, so please, if you are ever in a position to tell someone "good job" don't let them sit there and expect them to know, simply tell them so they know they are appreciated.
There are also the more simple times when it comes down to complimenting a random stranger, what is wrong with that? Why don't more people do it? People aren't afraid to criticize strangers but when it comes to saying good things about people they seem to hold their tongue like their life depends on it.
There is nothing wrong with telling strangers something good if you truly believe it. It's mutually beneficial, it makes them feel good because someone actually pays attention and it makes you feel good because you put a smile on someone's face.
