What was the best compliment you’ve received?

View all responses

I think I would have to say that the best compliment I’ve received has been that I’m smart. I’ve heard this from a lot of people throughout my life and still hear it to this day. I’ve received other compliments as well from some people. These compliments were that I’m a caring person and I received a couple from my ex girlfriend back when we dated. She told me I was good looking and handsome and at the official end of the relationship, (even though everybody knows that in my mind, the relationship was far from over,) she said she was happy to have met me as I was one of the few people who understood her struggles and that I was someone she felt she could connect with even as others did not attempt to do so with her. There was a time when I felt the same way as she did but this was short lived to say the least and I definitely don’t feel that way now and haven’t in a very long time. However, I can honestly say that the most notable comment that people have told me over the years, as a matter of fact, this is the one people have given me more often than any other is that I am smart.
