    I’ve literally never gotten a compliment from a friend. I would find it quite weird if I did.

      Pro tip: if all your friends are online and you never show them what you look like, they can never compliment you nor not compliment you. Its a win win!

      It tends to get better with younger generations. I’ve gotten a lot of good and bad feedback about some changes I made during the last months but pretty much exclusively from friends and co-workers under 40.

      Was never weird though. Just smile and say something like “Right? I’m trying that out. Thank you :)”

      Accepting compliments can be learned.

      I updated my profile pic on teams with a professional shot after a fresh shave and a button down.

      I’m normally unshaven and in gaming t shirts.

      Needless to say I got lots of compliments from both guys and girls in meetings on “cleaning up good” and “looking fresh”

      Felt good.

    Idk, in my friend group it’s 50-50 for… “Hey, you look less like shit today, did you get a nose job?”

    Or

    “Good lord, stay away from me with that new haircut. I’m already nursing a semi!”

    I’m so glad I have actually good friends we can compliment and joke around without feeling uncomfortable ahah.

    Jokes on you, me and my friends just straight up flirt as compliments like “HOLY SHIT! Who is this hot dude?”

      Was just going to say that this really depends on you and your friends. Got one friend group that is all about cuddling drunk, giving shoulder massages and complimenting each other. Got another that is more about board games and being sure feet don’t touch accidentally under the table. All friends are valid <3
