LOL...I never rec'd compliments as a child either...ever! Now, I give them to people frequently, and I am always sincere! If I see something I like about a person, I usually comment favorably, be it their shoes, their hair, something they did or said. Why I'm this way, I do not know, since I never rec'd this kind of feedback growing up. Interestingly, I also married a man who never, ever complimented me, in 20 miserable years of marriage! Anyway, I go on happily complimenting people, and sometimes people actually compliment me as well! I accept this with graciousness!
