sometimes when I am out, I shout compliments at people inside my head. (the compliments are in my head - not the people)

examples:

THAT'S A GREAT SWEATER
YOUR HAIR IS FANTASTIC
HOLY CRAP YOU ARE REALLY ATTRACTIVE
THOSE PANTS LOOK GOOD ON YOU

I'm scared that one day, I'm going to accidentally do it out loud. and the person will look at me like, 'WTF?' and I'll just have to shrug and give them a look that says, 'oops, sorry. but it's okay. i am a professional crazy person.'

I compliment strangers all the time. It's great for you and you never know when you might make someone's day. I chased a guy down at the mall one day because he smelled so amazing I had to find out what he was wearing. I then bought it for my bf so I could smell it all the time1 Occasionally there is a creeper who thinks you are hitting on them but mostly people just appreciate it.

I don't think that I could shout a compliment at a stranger as I walked past them, but if you can? That is fantastic. Did the guy you chased down think that you were a bit odd?

I don't actually SHOUT compliments. lol But I do give them compliments all the time. It is not unusual for me to have random conversations with a stranger in Target for example. I'm just a talker.

The guy I chased down thought it was funny. I had my mom with me and I was dragging her along and she was embarrassed and trying to shush me and he was laughing at us bickering like little kids.
