Do you agree with this Moldovan girl who describes her experiences living in Canada that there is still a big difference between Eastern Europeans (or perhaps Europeans in general) and North Americans with respect to their willingness to compliment others? Which attitude seems more honest to you?
I live in America and I agree with this. It especially annoys me because people say stuff like that then never talk about that thing again. If you really liked it as much as you said you did you’d get one for yourself, eat it more often, etc. But no. It’s one and done.
I don’t exaggerate my compliments. Nor do I compliment out of obligation/politeness. Which means I don’t give out many compliments.
