Funny or poignant? A commenter at Instagram said,
People underestimate how such compliments from strangers can brighten someone's day. As I was on vacation in Australia a random teenager yelled over to me: "Hey mate, awesome shirt!" complimenting my Watchmen shirt. I think about it regularly since almost a decade ago. ❤️
And another said,
In 2011 I was a sad, chubby, shy sophomore from Germany at an american boarding school. During a shopping trip to the next town, a brown haired, cool-looking woman in her thirties said "Cool shirt" to me while passing me at a thrift store. Still thankful for that comment. It made me feel so much better, and I started complimenting others, too, just to see their faces light up. Random acts of kindness, however small, can mean the world to the person in front of you ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you, awesome stranger, I still think of you!
There were more along those lines. Saying something or not might make no difference to you at all, but you never know when it could mean the world to the person you are complimenting. This comic is from Martin Rosner (HotPaper).
