I don't really know, because I have received a lot of compliments. It is probably that I am a good person, and people are happy about that.
-
"Listen kiddo, you've got a greatness inside you. And you can't contain it..." Makes me smile just thinking about it. Only time I have ever let someone getting away with calling me kiddo.

that i was more beautiful beyond the belief of eyes could see
-
"I wish I was a quarter as human as you are." It was very sincere and from somebody who, no matter how hard he tried, ould not be anything but apathetic. For him to even appreciate such a quality was a stretch, so it meant a lot to me.
-
you have beautiful eyes and perfect hair
-
My husband's Ex-wife said when she has to make a tough decision she askes herself, "What would Jeanne (That's me) do in this situation?" I was very flattered, if somewhat perplexed, by that statement.

I went on vacation once, and when I got back to work, I had cut my hair short, shaved my full beard into a goatee, and gotten a dark tan. A good friend, (female, of course), said I looked just like Johnny Depp. She even brought me a pic the next day of him that did kinda looked like me. I was flattered. Of course, that was 12 years ago. I'm about 20 lbs. heavier and retired, (medically), now.

A silly thing / A linguistic expert told me that I had no accent whatsoever. In a whole group he picked out the origins of every voice but said mine was not possible. For a person that has spent their life being thrown back and forth around the world and between countries that was a massive compliment

At boot camp one of my former drill instructors was commenting (right before I left for home without graduating) on the fact that I had improved my run time.

"You, of all people, better have children. The world will have some hope then." That one made me tear up. Aaaand... On the superficial side, a little girl told me I looked like an Asian Barbie Doll. I was 18 and transitioning out of a verrrrry long nerdy, all-about-school, ugly duckling awkwardness stage, and well... at the time, it was nice and sort of refreshing to hear.
-
Wow... and then speechless.
-
Family My daughter had to write a paper on where she'd go if she had a time machine. She said she'd go back to the year where we were the same age because she thought we'd be great friends.

To be honest, I've been very fortunate and have surrounded myself with loving people, who are very generous with their compliments. I've had more than a few that were quite memorable..some from my son, whom I would not want to embarrass by repeating them.. a few from my "second son"...he'd be embarrassed as well...you know how kids are about these things. I had a wonderful one from my grandfather on his deathbed..I've have some flattering ones from friends and even an occasional one or two from acquaintances/strangers. As I said, I attract really lovely people in my life. I am so lucky! :) ((hugs))

I went back to college at 36, I found adapting back into that classroom environment wasn't the easiest thing I had ever done, I had one instructor who's classes I found particularly difficult. He seemed to take off points for the slightest things, even if I had the calculations correct. I saw him in the halls one day and he stopped me to talk for a bit, and he proceeded to tell me how excited he was for me, that I was one of his most promising students and that I had a world of options open to me. Back in high school I was a D student at best.

When someone told me I was a wonderful mom! I think that's one of the greatest compliments anyone could get!

I was living in a small town, a youth colony type thing. It was a weird situation where 81 kids, all around 15 were living together. One of the leaders was a mensa member, a very intelligent man. He asked me to close my eyes and walk as slowly as I could. He directed me with his voice from one side of the property to the other and I just had to focus on his voice, to follow his instructions and felt my whole being the whole time, every muscle, every fiber. The whole way through people were coming up and asking what I was doing and joined in for a while but then left. I got to the end without opening my eyes for more than a second and he turned to me and said "I'm very proud that you were able to do that. You won't be ready to listen to that for a while" pointing to my CD player (pre-ipod, haha) which was earlier blaring punk music. It was the most peaceful I'd ever felt. Sorry for being verbose. -
While I was still dating my husband, and I still lived in the States, I will never forget the first trip to Belgium. His family was so warm and inviting, and even then made me feel like I was a part of the family. When he and his dad took me to the airport to fly back home, his dad cried. That, was the best compliment I have ever received.
