You have likely heard someone joking about how men will never forget a compliment if you gave them one; in their world, a situation like this is so rare, they cherish the kind word as if it was the last butterfly on earth. But all jokes aside, some compliments are truly unforgettable, whether because of how sincere and moving they are, or because they are presented at a time you need one the most. Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community have recently discussed compliments they will remember for the rest of their lives after one user started a thread about it. Ranging from witty to emotional, they ought to bring a smile to your face (maybe even make you a little teary-eyed), so if you’re looking for your daily dose of wholesome, look no further and enjoy the list below. Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with a Professor Emerita at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, Dr. Marilyn Fitzpatrick, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about the power of compliments.

It might come as no surprise for those who’ve ever received a compliment; many would likely agree that it’s usually followed by a flood of positive emotions. (Even though some studies suggest that close to 70% of people associate compliments with feelings of embarrassment or even discomfort.)

“Keeping a gratitude journal would be one strategy for noticing how the world is good to you; it is a strategy that is reliably associated with better well-being,” the expert added.
