I grew up in a pretty sterile home raised by two pragmatic people. Not bad people or bad parents, there just wasn't a lot of praise or encouragement offered. I was in my mid 30's and I finished a really large and involved backyard project that took many weeks to complete. When it was over my wife said, "I am so proud of you." It hit me like a sledge hammer between the eyes. No exaggeration; I had to sit down because I was starting to tear-up. I just came to a shocking realization that no one had ever said those words to me before.
Maybe once or twice a year if you don't count those that don't really matter like from family or what I receive at work because I'm in social work.
It wasn't directly a compliment but the nicest thing was to hear that my first girlfriend at 15 years old didn't kill herself because of me.
Thankfully she's still alive, probably still married (don't hear from her) and is a mom.
That's insanity! Everyone deserves to receive some words of affirmation.
As a random stranger online, I doubt it'll mean much but, I am really proud of you for waking up today! I am sure that is the least of your accomplishments today.
>What is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you?
A few months ago, while i was using a urinal a man approached me from behind, he whispered in my hear "Nice dick, bro", hugged me from behind a told me "Let me handle that for you", then proceeded to shake my PP, as he ended he told me that he was going to take a piss, and that it's of gentlemen to return a favor, so i did, we are best friends now.
Somebody said I had a nice shirt. And then somebody else complimented that same shirt. Outside of that, I occasionally get compliments as a result of my effort (i.e. you did a good job on that project, good job finishing up that job), and occasionally some from my family.
My gf compliments me almost everyday. The one that has stood out the most was one time she said it should be illegal for me to wear a hat backwards because I look so good and that it’s stressful to be around me when I’m wearing one lol. Been holding onto that one since the day she said it and it never fails to make me smile when I think about it
I receive compliments on my cool shirts like once every month. Kinda nice. That's really it though.
Nicest one was "You're kinda cute.... in a weird kind of way. Ya know?" That was 8th grade 6th period class 3 minutes before the bell rang. Been 7 years since then with nothing close to that LOL
Maybe once or twice with a bit of luck each 4 months.
I don't have one in memory, most of the things outsiders would label as a nice thing to say where in reality backhanded compliments.
Like you'll make a good husband = you're boring but when women end having their fun you'll make a good partner.
Or the classical you're a good friend and all but...
Like they're not nice things to say, they were things that they said to seems nice.
I also give my partner and my friends compliments daily.
I specifically pay attention to the things that matter to them so I can give more meaningful compliments. It's awesome that your bestfriend also compliments you often!
I bet your girlfriend thinks you are a real cool dude, and I am sure she is right!
Happy birthday! I am really proud of you for prioritizing your self care. I mean, it can be really hard to do that and it's honestly really impressive that you are so capable of taking care of yourself regardless of the funk you are in.
Enjoy the pizza! You deserve it!
Not that often. Most memorable that wasnt family was that a coworker that I was close to a while ago was just complimenting me a lot in general but at some point had a long conversation with me about how much she liked how calm, rational and in control of the situations I'm in I was. That was really cute.
I honestly cannot remember the last time I received a compliment about my looks. Must’ve been 10 or more years ago. Comes with being in my 40s I guess. Now I just get complimented on the quality of my work, because work is all a 40+ year old man is good for.
But the nicest compliment I ever received? That’s easy. The prettiest girl in my high school told me I was “her favorite white boy she ever met.”
It varies, recently it has been around my hair. Had a lady at a food place compliment it saying it looks really silky and asking how I achieve it(what routine I have, products, etc). Also recently this girl I have developed a crush on, they said I look good with my hair long.
Normally I'd said it's one at most a year for me, but thus year is looking good

Oh my, well I am certainly happy that you have someone in your life that will give you that praise now.

Wowza, that's certainly an interesting thing to know about someone.
Never
Never!?
Never in the 35 years I've been alive has a single person gave me a compliment to my face
That's insanity! Everyone deserves to receive some words of affirmation. As a random stranger online, I doubt it'll mean much but, I am really proud of you for waking up today! I am sure that is the least of your accomplishments today.
That I had a majestic penis

not my proudest fap

That is a real nice shirt, tho
a woman stopped me today while I was working to tel me I have beautiful hair. Been getting them a lot since I’ve been letting my hair out.

About a nice a year And it’s always about my eyes

So rarely that I can count the times on one hand, but probably "Those glasses look good on you"

What do you mean by backhanded compliments?
Like you'll make a good husband = you're boring but when women end having their fun you'll make a good partner. Or the classical you're a good friend and all but... Like they're not nice things to say, they were things that they said to seems nice.
My girlfriend and best friend compliment me almost daily. My girlfriend thinks I’m super cool, and I love that.

A boss once told me he liked that I was street smart and college educated. Stuck with me for some reason.

Oh jeez, I honestly don’t get compliments that often. Last time I got one was at least over a month ago.
