    I’m a woman who indiscriminately showers compliments on people everywhere I go. It’s a nervous habit I have, to shift attention from myself to others.

    I can also read the room and determine when my compliment-showering begins to annoy people. Because there’s something slightly autistic/ socially awkward about the way I compliment people everywhere all the time.

    But at first people do appreciate the compliments because perhaps there’s a shortage of compliments in the world.
