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.'

Do it.

Cory randomly waves at people all the time. It's amusing.

I complement random strangers all the time. And wave to them and say hi. I am from a small town, and live in a smallish town now, but I did this all the time when I was in DT Seattle. SO.

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 have no filter so like, I say these types of things to people all the time. Sometimes its awkward but usually not, since I see the same 200ish people ever yweek.

I am shouting "OMG! So cute." In my head while reading this :)

yeah, I can't help myself, usually it's women and I tell them they are in the running for my best dressed award today, or I'm like, "this whole look, you are doing it so right". Those are my standby's. I'm like the fashion police. Self-deputized of course. LOL.

I've only once really said something outloud that was meant to be in my head. It was this scruffy guy walking out of target, think Jared Padalecki in his lounge pants after a rough night, and he was wearing this long grey wool coat. OMG HOT....and so I told him so, well, in the jacket, I said you looks so hot in THAT COAT. Does that make it better? Nah, probably not.

Aw, you are awesome. AND I WOULD SHOUT THAT AT YOU.

I do this too. Sometimes I do actually tell people. Only the tame stuff, like "Your handbag is great" but even then, people still look at you funny. Which is weird. That handbag IS REALLY GREAT so take the damn compliment.
