Agree or Disagree, telling a stranger or someone you know that they are handsome or cute or beautiful isn't a bad thing, and could boost self esteem?

Agreed if you actually believe it

Disagree too risky

I was at the store a couple days ago and passed a girl going the other way that had what I thought was nice looking hair. As we passed, I said, "I like your hair." She smiled and thanked me! I'm sure it made her feel good and THAT made me feel good... that I could make someone else feel good just by giving them a passing compliment!

People constantly do it, and there is nothing wrong with it. Sending out positive vibes is always a good idea.

I agree, it’s not a bad thing at all, it can be really uplifting 💕
A sincere, respectful compliment can absolutely boost someone’s self‑esteem and brighten their day. The key is tone and context: keep it kind, not creepy, and don’t push for anything in return. Just a simple, genuine “you look nice today” can go a long way.

Nothing wrong with it as long as it's not done in a creepy/annoying way.
