What is the nicest thing someone has ever said to you?

[reecejackox]

A woman once called me lovely , that was nice.

At my age many people have said nice things to me, even here on the DIS so I can't and won't single out one thing. But I'm glad someone was nice to you with her words.

A coworker once told me that I'm very well-read.

This past summer, after meeting my son for the first time, my 3 uncles all told me that I'm an excellent mother.

I was a medical secretary for many years- my favorite surgeon once told me, "You would make a great detective, a scary girlfriend, but a great detective." I was known as "the office memory" because I remember the names and details of many patients... everyone came to me if they couldn't remember someone's name.

I love you

My family is kind of weird because we don't compliment each other directly, so it wasn't said to me but about me. My mom told me that my grandma had told her that my Aunt Karen said that she admires me because she thinks I'm a good mother. Compliments are hard to come by in my family so it made me feel really good and I still think about it when I'm having a day where I question my parenting instincts

"You matter"

A homeless, drug addict woman told my husband a few weeks ago that I was "the most beautiful woman she's ever seen" after I gave her ten dollars. lol . So much for me giving her money on the sly! I take my compliments where I can get them, even if I have to pay for them. As soon as she said that i was wishing I had more cash to give her.

Growing up, my parents were close personal friends with a couple who ran a string of preschools. Obviously, I went to one of their schools. So, the owners knew me both as a student and as the child of their friends. I used to play with their graddaughter, who was my age. The man has now passed, but his wife is still alive in her 90s, a great-grandmother many times over, and still friends with my parents. Anyways, a few years ago I was talking with this lady about our lives and she told me that she had recently been talking to her youngest great-granddaughter. She gushed, as great-grandmas are wont to do, about how smart the little girl was; how perceptive and articulate. I mean, this is a woman who spent her life raising other people's children, so she knows what she's talking about when she analyzes toddlers.

Then she said, "She reminds me of you at that age."

My boss said I'm worth my weight in diamonds.

And a silly one, when I was around 5 or 6, my mom was trying to buy me a gift in secret while we were at the store, so I was sent off to another area with my brother who would have been 16 or 17. I was crying because I couldn't be with mom or something, and he ran into a group of guys from school. They made some comment about being a brat and my brother said, "Oh, I don't know". I still remember to this day that he didn't exactly agree with them

My dh telling me he loves me, and still saying, and showing it after more than 50 yrs!!

Also, anyone telling me I remind them of my Mom that has been gone 31 years. Everyone loved her.

 

[Marchand63]

Couple things.

I get a lot of I love your hair color, think Sharon Osbourne but brighter.

At work my boss told me I get no arguements because people are afraid of me. Believe me being a woman in a mostly male field it is a huge thing.

I sub/volunteer at a small Catholic school. My principal just told me that she likes when I'm on campus. She said that she can relax when I'm around because she knows that if they need a spur of the moment sub or whatever she knows she can trust me. That I can pretty much handle the kids.

When I was in High School in the lunch line a guy I didn't know turned around and told me I had pretty eyes. That was a big deal for me at the time!!

One of my dd's favorite princess is Pocahontas. She has really long hair. One day in school she heard a girl behind her tell her friend " she has Pocahontas hair" She was on cloud nine that day. Also, she works at the same school I do ( she also attended 6-8th grade) and the art teacher told her that she is her little princess!! She blushed and smiled so hard

My 3-year old granddaughter told me yesterday that I was “the best of everyone”. She followed this by saying “I love you, Grams!”

My husband constantly says nice things to me.

...none of yer biziness.....

I had a student who wrote an essay (unbeknownst to me) about someone in her life she looked up to as a hero. That person was me apparently. Her essay won a competition and she had to read it out loud at an award ceremony to the entire school with me right beside her. Had to hold those tears back something fierce!

 

[marcyleecorgan]

Anything "nice" anyone ever told me ended up being conditional on its terms... and ceased to be true when I was no longer useful to said person.

Therefore I do not trust compliments.

 

[MaryLovesPoohBear]

I have wonderful people that love me, so I often hear nice things.

But I had a man a church, who visited my mother in the hospital, tell me that I had her smile. That I could be happy even when going through so much.

My mom was incredible during her last months with us. To think someone believes that I handle my problems with the same attitude is humbling.

A mentally challenged guy on the bus told me that he "liked my tie".

Always remembered that.

 

[tinkerbellandeeyor]

I was told by a complete stranger that I am too small for weight loss pills

I was told today that what I do for a “living” is more valuable then I realize
