One of the ways to make a good impact on people is by genuinely appreciating them, emphasis on genuine. It is innate of us as humans to desire kind words about us or what we do, alongside the like money, love, and sex. So, why not? It's much easier and faster to make friends with genuine appreciation.
Thank you for that reminder, luchyl.
You are right, compliments should be genuine and not flattering.
That's the way we are wired, lol 😂
