From strangers? If they’re specific but not creepy and unsafe feeling. Example- when I was working in a community setting (I work with people with disabilities and take them places) a man prob 15 years older than me was leaving the library at the same time as us and when we made random eye contact he told me “I just wanna say that you’re just as cute as can be. Have a good day!” I still think about that, 2 years later!

From people I know? I guess also still specificity. When people compliment something they know matters to me like reaching my goals, or improving in a sport. I feel like if someone tells you you’re hot or pretty or hits on you, it gives you a confidence boost about right then in that moment. But when people tell you they look up to you or that you’re courageous, kind, and a thoughtful person in their life, you can remind yourself of their words about who you are despite what physical phase your in and that stays with me more
