Beauty in the Break

Do We Actually Suck at Compliments?


Listen Later

Do you struggle with receiving compliments? Foster and Cesar explore the art of giving and receiving compliments. Why do we have such a hard time accepting praise? And what’s the difference between physical and character-based compliments? Together they unpack how authentic affirmation strengthens relationships and how rejecting a compliment is like rejecting a gift. Foster and Cesar also dive into masculine and feminine energy dynamics in how they exchange words of affirmation. They each share their favorite compliments and how to truly make someone’s day. 

In this episode they explore: 

  • Why rejecting a compliment is the same as rejecting the person giving it
  • Why physical compliments are the least interesting thing to give (and why)
  • What happens when you compliment someone on their effort vs. their appearance
  • How masculine and feminine energy shows up differently in giving compliments
