I am used to show admirality, i can be spoken a thousand different ways. I am in no exclusive language, but rarely my currency is accepted willingly. What am i?
Think about it.
Did you come to compliment? When you think about it, it is a complete paradox in itself. When in our development do we inherit such strange behavior with a basic, yet underthought, concept in our society.
If you don't understand what i am refering too, let me explain. When we are raised there are always those concepts of being a 'good' person. Always be modest, do the right thing, never cheat or steal, etc. When you give someone a compliment it conflicts with two of those fundimentals and leads to a general akwardness in a conversation no matter how light the topic.
When you give a compliment, how often do you in return, get a well recieved response? Majority of the time people hate compliments, why? It is a two edged sword that very few choose to be on the other end of. There is the route most take of not accepting them, in turn, leaving an akward window of conversation. Then there are those who embrace it with open arms, which often leaves off an impression of self centeredness.
The complete flux of the concept is that a compliment is NEVER a bad thing, infact, by definition it can't be. No matter how much of a ego-fiend a person may be, a compliment can still make them seem like the modest person in the world.
Maybe this is just me way overthinking things, but it alteast can lead to an investment to your time. Any way you slice it, there are few things one can openly say that causes such a bizzare reaction. Just saying.
