18 Ways To Compliment Someones Personality

Appearance based compliments are great, but everyone needs to know they have just as beautiful a soul as they do face.

Looks are all the rave in today's society, but sometimes compliments based on looks get old. Sometimes they make us feel gross, diminished, or invisible instead of beautiful and loved, and sometimes it's nice to be reassured that we can still be beautiful even if we look like sh*t. It's nice to know that our personality matches the beauty that people see on the outside, so without further ado, here are 18 ways to let someone know you like them without making it entirely about their appearance.

1. "You make me happy"

2. "You're such a beautiful soul"

A personal favorite right here, this melts my heart into one big, happy puddle.

3. "Your laugh is adorable"

4. "Your smile is contagious"

5. "You radiate good vibes"

6. Notice their behavior

Notice how she shakes her butt when she makes coffee, or how he dances when he makes dinner. Notice how your best friend smiles uncontrollably at her phone when she has a new crush, or how he bites his lip when he concentrates. Notice their behavior, and you notice them.

7. "You're cute when your angry"

Although annoying if you're the angry person, being told your cute or adorable as steam metaphorically blows out of your ears is great. Even through your scowl and serious b*tch face, they still love you, and that's important to let people know.

8. "You're funny"

A classic, but still nice to hear.

9. "You smell nice"

Such a lovely thing to hear! Who doesn't enjoy sitting or standing next to someone who smells absolutely delectable.

10. "I trust you"

The holy grail of compliments.

11. "You make me want to be a better person"

12. "You have a great taste in music"

Or taste in anything! A person's style means so much to them, usually without even realizing it, but it makes them who they are. Complimenting that let's people know you see them; it makes them feel important.

13. "I miss you"

14. "I hope I meet more people like you"

15. "Your ______ is refreshing"

Whether it's their confidence, their sense of humor, or their strength, whatever about them is so much different than the mainstream, we love to hear about it.

16. "You matter to me"

17. "But I like when you make it..."

Usually the ending to a conversation between me and anyone who can cook. Sure, I can make whatever the dish in question is, but it's so much better when you do it.

18. "You make me feel important"

Another personal favorite. I love when people notice how much I care about them.

By no means are compliments to appearances a bad thing, but it can be nice to hear a change every once in a while. If your friend has a bomb new haircut, let her know. If you see a stranger and love their shoes, tell them. If you know someone who is drop dead gorgeous, give her a shout out.

But if you enjoy being around someone, or enjoy their smile, or how they make you feel, don't be afraid to shout it from the roof tops... or maybe just casually drop it into conversation, whichever suits you more. So don't be shy, tell your friends you love them in as many ways as you can, even if you're awkward at doing it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
