So normally people like me get extremely happy if you say something like ‘nice shirt’, however it got me wondering about people who receive compliments and gifts all the time, what makes y’all happy? I presume it gets kinda annoying after some time?

    I genuinely enjoy human contact. It’s why I like working in-office rather than remote. Because I naturally enjoy being around others, I want them to be happy too.

    My compliments are genuine. If you look close enough, there’s usually something you can find about a person that you can give a genuine compliment to. That fosters good will between people. The better they feel around me, the better I feel.

    Compliments don’t get annoying. I love getting them, especially when I know they’re genuine. It’s why I always make sure my own compliments are genuine.

    The only time it gets uncomfortable is when compliments go over the top.
