How do compliments affect a person’s self-esteem?
A compliment is an expression of esteem, respect, affection or admiration; an admiring remark. In my opinion, a compliment is a praise to flatter, or to gratify someone. I really think that compliments make someone’s day. It also increases a person’s self-esteem in a way that gives them more confidence. A good compliment makes that person eager to do the same thing with others. Compliments must be given sincerely, in a spirit of thoughtfulness and caring, from a true desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others. This doesn’t come naturally, but with a little effort you can learn how. You’ll be amazed at the results, when you make giving compliments a part of your daily life. You will also be amazed as to how your compliments will benefit the wellness of other people and their self-esteem.
When a person says bad things about themselves or cannot accept compliments, it’s usually a sign of low self esteem. Not in all cases, of course. Being humble is one thing and a good thing, but one can usually tell the difference between someone who is humble and one who has low self esteem. A compliment can really turn a person’s mood upside down. If a person is having a bad day and someone gives them compliments, they’ll think that their day isn’t that bad after all.
