    I wish it would be as socially easy to vocally approve or encourage someone as it is to put a like.

    I strongly believe people would be surprised.

        Already am!

        Handing out compliments to strangers once in a while, and supporting good points

          The best advice I ever got was this: if a compliment about someone pops into your head, you should tell them.

          Like I have to add the caveat don’t be a creepy fuck (unless you know them and they like that) because there’s 8 billions of us and that means there are folk who are super creepy just by law of large populations. I’m talking about real compliments, not preludes to flirts or slaps.

            Absolutely! I usually pick more neutral compliments and make sure I give them to both men and women alike.
