Thank our AI overlords
The last time I was in a Spirit Halloween store, the cashier told me they liked my hoodie.
I want to emphasize that I still occasionally think about this thing that happened in October.
It's amazing how well a small, well meaning compliment can make your day, your week...
I was playing hockey last month and one player on the other team complimented something I did on the ice. Simple thing. "Nice puck protection!" after I made a play. Fuck, I'm so used to being chirped out there that it caught me completely off guard. I told my gf that night "The karma version of my brain is like: I should compliment players on the other team more. They probably feel great when that happens too 😀"
Hell, I remember when one of my classmates in gym class complimented my basketball shot, and that was back in the '90s. (If you're out there, Leon, thanks.)

I try to be the guy giving the compliments. Like, "Hey I like the jacket," or, "Hey I like the hat," stuff like that. I'll say it strangers and they always seem surprised and put on a seemingly genuine smile.
Us guys need to look out for each other, ya know? Some guys will never hear a compliment, and just hearing one can make someone's day.
Hey, nice attitude! I can relate to that, and it's why I made this comic doodle. There's nothing like creating a good ripple in someone's life (and I don't think it's insincere to share what naturally crossed my mind anyway).
Keep doing what you're doing!
for some a compliment can be a thing they remember for years
Good on you, I'm trying to be that person more and more because I know it makes my week whenever I get a compliment.
Make sure you don't run into people of the culture, who - once you express that you like something - they have to gift it to you.

Title: "Emotional Starvation and the Modern Man."
The one thing most modern men have in common. Together forever alone.
I was wearing a nice suit while walking to my car on the way to a job interview, and this rolled his windows down and pulled over to say I looked amazing.
It felt nice. And I got the job offer!

It's more like this:
Now we need a "hey nice shirt", "sod off" and vice versa

Pro tip: if someone compliments your shirt, offer it to them. Bonus points if you start taking it off before they can say no.
To take it a step further: if you compliment someone's shirt, pause just long enough for them to form a response, then ask, "Can I have it?" The key is to deliver it with a flat tone and a straight face, as though it's a totally normal question to ask.
This sounds like a "I think you should leave" bit

I always worry that I'll compliment someone, they'll have a look at my shabby self and it will have the opposite effect of them never wearing the thing again.
Damn bro
Same. I have zero fashion sense and it shows. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate something nice. But always scared if I compliment someone, that it will do more harm than good.
Thanks for sharing, somehow reassuring to know I'm not alone.

Is this loss?
Anytime this happens to me I spiral about how I might have just missed the sarcasm
What would be the harm in just taking it as a compliment anyway?

Cartoon would be better if you saw a sliver of red coming out of the bedsheets.
Edit not sure why downvote. I think it'd be funnier if he wore the shirt to bed.
Yes, as you suggest, it would be funnier, but I don't think that's the main idea.
I get compliments from random people several times a week, and while it does feel kinda good it also makes me anxious and more aware of how I look. I feel a lot better when I give compliments, I generally don't get the anxiety and feel better about it afterwards.
I'm a dude, FYI.
Anxiety is a bitch.
I think we found Ryan Reynold's secret Lemmy account...
Proceeds to never wear another shirt again
And 4th panel should be him sleeping in it.
It's probably not as comfortable as sleeping in his bed /s
My New Year's Resolution was: Every day I'm out walking the street is to give at least one compliment to a stranger.
Whether it be the man walking with his beloved with a Larry David tier smile, or the person rocking a cowboy hat well in my local frozen sunless hell, I let them know how wonderful they are.
Am I the only one who finds this uncomfortable?
Ok, I’ll see myself out then.
When people compliment me I blurt out some gratitude then spend the rest of the day worrying I screwed up the interaction.
