Reddit user ivylolaxx asked: 'What is a weirdly specific compliment you’ve received that stuck with you?'

It is scientifically proven that there is little that makes people feel better than giving and receiving compliments.

Be they ever so simple as a "nice sweater" or a bit more significant, such as how much someone appreciates the help and comfort another provided.


Of course, not all compliments go how we might want them to.

Sometimes, compliments get misconstrued, and instead of putting our minds at ease, they cause our minds to race and ask questions.

Other times, we tend to wonder if we were complimented at all.

Owing to how specific bizarre compliments are.

Redditor ivylolaxx was eager to hear the most specific compliments people were ever given, which still linger in their minds to this day, leading them to ask:
