What was the best compliment you’ve received?

Social integrity is heavily dependent on recognition. Men and women in any society recognize compliments as the basic fuel for the consolidation of mutual relations. In other words, the absence of respect leads to disintegration.

Compliments in the form of social tonic: When you happen to meet a friend with your newly bought vehicle, he exclaims, ” Wow! Which brand is this?” and “What a beautiful color it is!” You are done. That compliment remains with you forever. You would desire more and more to meet again. You not only remember that smile and that voice but you harbor it in your heart. You love to remember it and recall that face day and night. This works like a tonic for your social life. Humans, in most cases, can identify the hollow praises and the genuine ones as well. Genuine praise easily gets imprinted on the territory of the mind and has a deep influence on your entire life. You never forget that meeting, that day, that place, and that hour reciprocally. As seasoned social animals, we humans have cultivated responsive manners to remember those words and equally wish for the best time for our friends.

Social reason for compliments: A casual meeting between two unknown people results in a primary bond of friendship when they agree to the thoughts of each other. This can be apprehended as a minor form of appraisal which acts as a tonic for further relationships. Any type of frictional exchange of words leaves no ground for initial bonding. Men and women in society can develop harmony among each other through apparent or subtle compliments. According to Manes, people keep complimenting others in the silent quest for the next level of bonding. We are social animals. Our social rank mostly indicates our terms with others. Popular personalities do incredibly maintain their interactions with men and women in different social strata where they overwhelmingly showcase due respect to others. Such respects are nothing but backdoor compliments in a broader perspective.

Significance of the compliments: The wonder attached to the compliments is that it makes a day for both the giver and the receiver. It is perhaps for the positive turnout for the giver when he looks a mark of satisfaction on the face of the receiver. There are in fact, sequential positive impacts on both sides. The person who delivers the praise needs to become spontaneously broad-minded and free from the ego. Evidently, that person has attained such pre-qualifiers as far as that instance is concerned. The receiver of the compliments on the other hand finds a deep feeling of accomplishment. The strong positive vibes impact that domain with a step forward to strengthening the mutual relations. Research conducted by Dr. Anthony Jack implies that such kind acts also help in reducing stress levels both in men and women.
