Reading through a Twitter thread about random acts of kindness, I was reading about a topic on kindness and how the act of giving out compliments, she found that most people have a harder time accepting compliments. Acts of kindness in conversation, can fall in to either compliments or criticism.
In this episode, we have a light and straightforward conversation about acts of kindness, and defining it in regards to 2 general types: either compliments or criticism.
Throughout this episode, we talk about how we define compliments and criticism, and how we use it ourselves, and generally, how it may be perceived by others. We feel on the flip side, where we are on the receiving end of compliments and criticism, it's good to know how what we are saying to others is perceived, even if the intentions were good.
In the end, we feel it's all about perception, and being open to communicating honestly. Like all conversations, it's about giving and accepting, and maybe most times, it is okay to accept more often than give.
