Here’s something simple but powerful: giving compliments doesn’t just make others feel good — it improves your own mood, confidence, and social connection.

According to a study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, people consistently underestimate how much their kind words mean to others. Yet, those who regularly compliment friends, coworkers, or even strangers report higher levels of life satisfaction and emotional well-being.

Think of it as emotional exercise — the more genuine compliments you give, the stronger your social intelligence and positive mindset become.
