It weirds me out sm that in countries other than the US it’s not standard practice to just compliment strangers. I forget that every time I travel and I compliment stranger all. The. Time. (When I work at the zoo I have to dole out at least 10 stranger compliments a day I swear) but everytime I’m abroad and do it I am like yay I will be nice to this stranger and they will feel good about themselves 🤭 and then I compliment them without thinking and (obviously depending on where I am) they give me the most insane look like I just slapped them or challenged then to a dual
I hate it I love to compliment good fashion and hair dye and cool hair cuts but I always feel bad afterwards for forgetting that’s not a world wide norm
